Hello everyone! Check out this list of things you can do to maintain strong and healthy fingernails.  P.S. -   If you want more detailed information,   check out the related posts linked at the end of this post!  Stop biting and picking your nails. When  filing , always  file  in a single direction.   Never saw  back and forth! Make sure you’re using the right file; you don't want to use a grit that's too high for your nails. Use an acetone free nail polish remover, acetone will dry out your nails. Give your cuticles a much needed massage .   Use cuticle oil or olive oil to massage your cuticles and nails after you have removed polish. Let your nails breath!   Try to give your nails a break from nail polish, at least for 24hrs once a week.   This will also help keep that dreaded yellow stain at bay.  Buff once every couple of weeks. If your nails are extra brittle and prone to breakage keep them short and use a  nail strengthener  consistently!

Hello  everyone ! Most of us deal with oily skin at one point or another, especially during the warmer months .  The most common way that people get rid of oil on their faces is by applying more product but this results in a "cakey face"! A much better way to get rid of oil on your skin, without messing up your  make-up  is by blotting - using a paper-like material to soak up the oil on your face. You can buy your blotting sheets , or you could also make your own for a much cheaper price.  Here’s how…   You will need: Wrapping tissue paper - a type of thin, translucent   paper   used for wrapping presents and cushioning fragile items. Scissors Method: Find some wrapping tissue paper!   Even if you do not have old wrapping tissue on hand, buying a pack will be cheaper than buying the actual oil blotting sheets. You could either, fold the paper/s in half and cut along that line.  Repeat this process as many times as you see fit.   Store the sheets

Hello everyone! This is a recipe for a simple DIY scrub with few  ingredients .   This scrub will remove dead skin cells and leave you with soft, touchable skin.   Scrubbing off the top layer of dry skin is the quickest way to soften the skin and take years off your hands.  Use on hands and feet, or whole body. Ingredients: White/Brown sugar or Salt Olive oil Water Method: Mix half a cup of sugar or salt, 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of water in a bowl until fully blended. Apply mixture to your skin and rub in a circular motion. Rinse with water until you can no longer feel the grains of sugar/salt. Towel dry and apply a moisturising lotion. Tips: If you use sugar, you can even use it after shaving as the sugar  doesn't  sting like salt does . Use on elbows and knees as well to reveal smoother skin . Have an awesome weekend!
