Egg Face Mask

So Pinterest said to break an egg and seperate it. Then, use a warm wash cloth to open the pores on your face. After that, spread white egg yolk all over it and wait for it to dry. Using a damp cloth, rub the white stuff off of your face and spread yellow yolk all over. Then wash it off. Well, here it is. 

I used a bowl, a washcloth, and...

an egg!

Then I seperated the egg whites from the yolk

And put the white in a bowl but you can't really see it. 

Anyways, I dampened my face...

And spread the goo on. 

Then I waited for it to dry and it was sorta hard to wipe off.

So I gave up and put yolk on my face. It felt kind of gross. Although it looks like I'm licking it off my face, I assure you I am not. 

Duck face! On the bright side, I received some nice lip gloss for Christmas.

And it's a good thing I have face wash! Even though it's the same color as the goo on my face. 

I think I'm going to stick to the coconut oil and sugar. Coconut oil is seriously the best thing that happened to me this year. You can do anything with it. I recommend you get some! 

But I don't recommend you do this egg mask thing. 

It's kinda gross.

Did I even nail it? 

I don't know. 

I guess so.

NAILED IT!

Ziploc Bag Nail Decals

What Pinterest Showed Me

compared to...

What I did

First of all, I didn't use a water marble design, though I'm sure it would yield the same results. 

All you really need is some nail polish, a toothpick...

And a plastic bag/wax paper/cellophane.

Tape is your friend too. You might want to tape the bag/paper/cellophane onto the table.

I ended up using almost completely different colors than what I had taken a picture of. Then I started to paint the bag.

....

Then you can get creative and make whatever design you want. This is where I would assume water marbling would come into play. 

Then I questioned my existence. 

Finally, I gave up and went to bed. 

The next morning, the polish was dry. You're supposed to use tweezers to peel off the polish. However, I could not find a pair. Therefore, I used cuticle cutters. 

Ta-Dah!

I used scissors to cut out a small square big enough to fit on my nail

I covered my thumb nail....

....and tried to peel off the excess with the cuticle cutters and my finger. As you can see, I took a pretty big chunk off my nail. 

Then I remembered that you're supposed to apply a base coat first.

Boo! 

So this time, I applied a base coat, pressed the decal onto my nail, and cut around it. DON'T FORGET TO ADD A TOPCOAT! And it looked like this. The design would have probably looked better if I would have just directly applied it to my nails. Oh well, I guess I need to practice at it. 

I might try this again. The dried polish sheet was fun to play with anyway :)

NAILED IT!

DIY: Sugar Scrub

What Pinterest Showed Me

Organic Sugar Scrub Tips ♥ * Always exfoliate before shaving to prevent irritation and achieve a better shave. * You may add more olive oil to your jar after packing if you desire a different consistency. * Oil will settle in the jar so stir before using. * I do not recommend using this scrub on your face. It is intended for use on the body only

Delicious Scrub Recipe * 1 cup organic cane sugar * 1/3 cup celtic sea salt * 1/2 cup organic coconut oil * 2-3 tablespoons almond oil * 1 tablespoon vitamin e * Lavender Essential Oil *

                       What I Did:                        

(Note: I basically disregarded everything Pinterest told me, because I can never get it right when I try doing what it tells me.)

Okay so this is what I did. It's really simple. I promise (:

 Ingredients: Some good 'ole Pure Cane Sugar and Coconut Oil (That'd be the white stuff in the mason jar) 

Place 1/2 tablespoon of Coconut Oil in a microwave safe bowl. Trust me when I say you do not need a whole cup like Pinterest tells you to use. 

I'm sure you saw this coming. Microwave the oil for about 10 seconds to soften it up a bit.

Eh, it's sorta melted. Good enough!

Now it's time to add 1 tablespoon of sugar! 

(Note: If you plan to use a lot of this scrub for large areas of the body, remember for whatever amount of oil you use, you want to double the amount of sugar)

I did exactly what it told me not to do. I put it on my face. 

I couldn't stop eating it either. It tastes so good!

I rubbed the scrub on my face for the same amount of time that I would wash my face for which is about a minute or so. Then I rinsed.

At this point, I was getting kind of worried. Those are water droplets on my face. My face felt really oily. 

Once I rinsed a little bit more, and wiped my face off, my skin was a little red. Which, of course, this is expected since I was just rubbing rough sugar granules on my face. 

I also had more than enough sugar scrub.

My face ended up feeling super soft.

Now I know what a baby's butt feels like.

I can't wait to try this on my legs before I shave. My face feels seriously great. 

I guess I'll find out in a few days if I break out from the scrub.

For the first time since I started this blog, I...

NAILED IT!

Citrus Candle DIY

What Pinterest Showed Me

(Note: the website said you can use any kind of citrus fruit)

What I did:

                    I used a grapefruit, a knife, a lighter, a bowl and spoon, and some vegetable oil

Slice the grapefruit in half exactly like this. Notice I'm cutting across the middle of the grapefruit and not straight up and down the stem line. 

See!

Now pick a half. It doesn't matter which half really. I picked the one on the right though because it was bigger. 

Now you have to start cutting both of them along the edges very VERY carefully

This was one of the hardest parts

Spoon out as much of the guts into the bowl as you can. 

Peel out the rest. BE CAREFUL NOT TO PEEL THE STEM OUT!

Gosh, I made a mess

Do the same for the other half of the grapefruit, only it's okay to peel out the stem. 

Stop and eat the guts of the grapefruit (:

I let it sit in the window overnight to dry out

The next day, I poured a small amount of vegetable oil into the half with the stem.....

...Like this!

I placed it near the sink to be safe and....

NOTHING!!!

So I dumped the oil out and rinsed the peel

...and I placed it in the toaster oven for a good hour total

Safety first! 

Meanwhile, cut out a circle in the other half. This is supposed to serve as a lid. 

Take the grapefruit out of the oven and try to light it once more...

...still nothing. 

I really nailed it this time....

Nailed it!
