FINALLY...A DIY Friday!

Hey everyone, I hope you had a wonderful week! I have missed doing the DIY Fridays and thought I better get back on track quick! This Friday I tried a coffee face scrub and loved it, so of course I wanted to share it with you!

Mix:

1 C fresh ground coffee

1/2 C brown sugar

1/2 C salt

1/2 cup coconut oil

Add the coconut oil then microwave the mixture for 10 seconds at a time until the mixture gets nice and moistened!

Massage into face and then let set for five minutes..rinse,  and voila!! 

{And in case you were wondering...yes it tastes like salty coffee}

Also here is my open house fashiondiaries! I absolutely LOVE this "Winnie Pant" from J.Crew. They come in this amazing color, black, or gray! They have the perfect fit to where yes, it looks like I am dressed up in dress pants, but I don't feel that way at all. For a Preschool teacher, that is key! The lace top and fun elephant necklace are both from J.Crew as well! The jean jacket (It is freezing cold in my classroom)  is from American Eagle ...High school years. The flats are VERY comfy, from Payless!

Have a fun weekend, you will hear from me again MONDAY! XXO~K

You Know What Friday Means..

Its DIY Friday!! Woo Hooo!! Alright so this Friday is all about BAKING SODA! I did this Baking Soda facial and loved it! Here is what you do...

Get some Baking Soda, I store mine in a Mason Jar. Mix 3TB with 1 TB of water. Work it into a paste like this..

If you need a few more drops of water for easier spreading, add a few more DROPS!

Leave it on for 5 minutes and rinse with warm water! I really liked it! 

Happy Friday ya'll! Have a great weekend... XXO~K

DIY Nails!

For this Friday's DIY edition I wanted to do SOMETHING with nails. Finally I found something that was quick and easy that is super cute! All you need is tape and polish...

All you do is take a base color that you like and paint your nails. Let dry for atleast an hour. Next get CREATIVE with that tape. Easy as 1,2,3.. you just have to have a little time on your side!

Sorry these pictures aren't the best quality ..it is driving me crazy that they look like this. They are the only pictures that showed the true colors of the polishes...do you know how HARD it is to take pictures of polish and keep the color of it?! Anyway happy Friday and to all my Midwest friends and family please stay safe and take these crazy storms VERY SERIOUSLY!! 

DIY Friday Featuring Coconut Oil!

Alright everyone I think I have found my go to product.. Organic Coconut Oil. Today I want to share just a few things that this can do for you. First things first, I have dry and frizzy, natural curly hair. I have spent so much money on smoothing serums and frizzy lotions and potions. I have finally found something that is cost effective, organic and does a wonderful job! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN COCONUT OIL?!! Anyway check this out...

  Used Coconut Oil               Did not use Coconut Oil

I am sure you can tell the difference right?!

I recently received a message from a reader that has dry scalp. She wanted me to help her find something that could work for her. Well guess what Miss E I found something just for you! Here is what you do...

-Buy some Coconut Oil (you can find the exact one I bought in the baking section at Wal-Mart)

-Part your hair one section at a time and rub the Coconut Oil into your scalp

-Make sure you rub and massage your scalp so it can really set in

-Take a wide tooth comb and comb out any tangles

-Put a shower cap on and sleep with it over night (you may want to cover your pillow for extra protection or use an old pillow case just to help in case the shower cap shifts over night)

-Wash hair in the morning and repeat process until you notice a difference (this may take 3-4 weeks)

Here are some other uses for Coconut Oil:

Damaged ends? rub some Coconut Oil onto ends 30 minutes before showering

Curly hair like me? use it as frizz control while styling your hair

Eczema, Psoriasis, dry skin? Rub some COCONUT OIL ON IT

I am sure I will find more uses for this amazing product and of course share it with you on DIY Fridays!!!

XXO and HAPPY EASTER! I am so thankful for what my Lord and Savior has done for me!

DIY Friday!

Sorry, I have been missing from the blog lately. It was our Spring break, so we headed home to visit Family! I was crazy busy while we were there, which means no time to blog! Anyway, for this Friday DIY edition, I wanted to give you the recipe for my fave at home lip scrub. It makes your lips super soft, you can make it totally organic AND it tastes good! I thought this would be a good one not only for the Ladies, but for the Men as well! I have been getting my lips smooth in order to wear some bright spring lipstick! Let me know if you try it and love it..

Coconut Lip Scrub

1 tsp Coconut oil

1 tsp Honey

1-2 TB Sugar

Don't forget to taste it!

Here are some of my favorite Spring lipsticks I have been wearing..

Friday = DIY

For todays DIY beauty tip the theme is LEMONS! The first recipe I absolutely love is a lemon and water toner for your skin! It shrinks your pores and gives you a healthy glow! I use it every night after my shower and it makes my skin feel so fresh! A friend on Instagram shared it with me and she has gorgeous glowing skin!

1 cup of water with a half of a lemon squeezed in it. I like to keep this in the fridge because it feels extra cooling and soothing to my skin! 

Next up is Lemon Sugar Hand Scrub! I have given out so many Mason jars filled with this and every single person has loved it! I gave it out as Christmas gifts and I also did a DIY Spa theme for my friend's bachelorette party and it was a hit!

2 Cups of Sugar

1 Cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil

4 Tablespooons of lemon juice

You can scrub wherever you want! I scrub my legs, arms and feet with this as well! If your skin is extra dry I suggest using a bit more EVOO

Enjoy! Please let me know if you tried these DIY tips and liked them! I personally love them! Have a great weekend!

P.S thank you so so much for the support you have already given me! I haven't even had the blog up a week and I have gotten a lot of support! XXO~K
