Hey girl's
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for all your lovely comments I love reading them it makes me soo happy that you all enjoy reading my blog :)
As soon as I hit 300 follower's I'll have another Giveaway!!!!


Ok so I have done loads of research and found out you can make you own Hairspray 
How cool is that???


Here's what you need!



1 lemon ( for shine)
or


1 orange (this will hydrate the hair, good for dry hair)
and

Tap Water


1. Chop fruit in quarters
2. Put them into a pot with 1 and a half cups of  tap water and let it boil until half the liquid remains
3. Let it cool and then strain fruit and pulp
4. Put the liquid into a plastic spray bottle which you can get at any beauty store for about 3 euro
and that's it :)

So easy right????

If it feels a little sticky to touch just add a little bit of water to the mixture.
you could also add 1 table spoon of rubbing Alcohol to the mixture this is to preserve the spray then store for about a week.

This really works try it out and comment below let me know what you think :)

Beauty on a budget: part 3 (homemade cleanser's)

Hey Girls,

Finally the weekend is hereeeeee and what better way to start the weekend than with fresh clean skin :)
In today's post I give away all my tips and tricks on how to make a home made facial cleanser





1. Natural cleanser ( cleans and moisturises)


What you need:

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (yes i know oil sounds kind of scary but extra virgin oil is totally natural and does not block pores)
5 fresh grapes
1 teaspoon of milk (milk is soothing)

blend everything together until it becomes a liquid.


2. 


What you need:

1 tablespoon of honey (cleans and attracts moisture)
1 tablespoon of milk or cream (soothing)

warm honey in the miscowave for a few seconds or place you cup/carton of honey into a bowl of boiling water. you want the honey to be a warm liquid not too hot.
Mix honey and milk or cream together, this should be made fresh


3. stimulating and rejuvanating


what you need:

1 teaspoon of green tea
2 tablespoons of cornmeal
1 tablespoon of natural yogurt
1 teaspoon of chopped mint leaves


mix tea and mint and leave it steep and cool down
mix well with yogurt and cornmeal.
This can be put in the fridge for a few days



4. cleanser for oily skin:


what you need:

 2 tablespoons of baking soda
 lemon juice or tomato juice.


 Mix baking soda and juice together
Add enough juice to make a thick paste and massage the face and neck area. Massage gently and avoid the eyes then rinse off.
