DIY: Eye Makeup Remover

Hey everyone! So I absoultly love eye makeup remover but I go through it so fast that it becomes sort of a lost cause. Recently I made my own (probably around a month ago) and I love it and it's only a fraction of the price of a bottle from the drugstore. Although the initial start up price might be a little more, you will be able to make several bottles from the supplies and some of the stuff you might just have lying around the house anyways! If any of you make it, or already have one that you have made in the past let me know in the comments.

What You Will Need

1. a small bottle or jar - you can get tons of different types at the dollar store for $1.25
2. baby oil- it doesn't have to be high quality, dollar store works fine.
3. water- from the tap!
4. toner- I already had one lying around from Olay that has witch hazel in it.
5. liquidy face cream- any type will work as long as it does not have a super thick consistency.

Instructions

1. Take the bottle and wash it out making sure it is clean and prepared.
2. Fill the bottle about 5ml with water (don't over do it you can always add more water to get it to your own personal desired consistency)
3. Measure around 10ml of baby oil and then shake the bottle so the oil and water mix
4. Then add around 2.5ml of toner.
5. Add the desired amount of cream, it's meant to be used not only as a moisturiser but also as a thickener. 
6. Shake it all up then add either more WATER, TONER or CREAM depending on if you want it more liquid or thicker but do not add any more baby oil.
7. ENJOY

Tips

-Depending on the size of your bottle only use my measurements as rough estimates.
-Everytime before you use it shake it! The oil and water will separate so by shaking it you are mixing it all back up together.

Turquoise Jewellery Excitement!

So in the past couple of months there has been all sorts of turquoise jewellery coming out on the market! Personally I have always had a few turquoise pieces in my collection just because I love the colour but now it seems like the colour is everywhere which makes the variety a much larger selection. It adds a pop to anything you wear and can make an outfit go from boring plain black and white to a bright summer look with just a few turquoise accent pieces. Another great quality is that it seems to go well with all skin tones, so it makes it open to a wider market! I think this is a great pop of colour that also goes well with all the neutrals such as white, tan, brown and black. So you can wear any neutral coloured shirt and make it look more exciting. For girls who are more in high school like myself, I have been liking that places like Claires and Ardenes have been producing turquoise jewellery because for me personally the reality is I ALWAYS break my jewellery so I am not at that point yet in my life where I want to invest larger portions of money into jewellery. Anyway's I fully support this trend and feel like even once it becomes less popular the colour will never become "old school" or "hideous" so any pieces you do buy will be wearable in the future! I added several different pictures of turquoise jewellery I found online so check it all out!

Thanks everyone.

What's Up Wednesday/Personal Life Update

Hey guy's so instead of having a whole different section being personal updates I figured this might just be easier to do a once a week personal update! So for the past week I have been under the beauty of grounding. Which I can say was super lonely and boring, although I tried to keep it under a more positive light by spending time thinking up projects and of course starting my blog. Today I went out  (as my grounding was over) but of course the day I get off all my friends are busy so I went shopping with my mom which was uh interesting. MORE EXCITING NEWS THOUGH, I got all the supplies I need to make a galaxy print shirt and a crayon canvas art piece. For the galaxy shirt I got silver, black, blue and purple paint, sponges, a big black t-shirt, sponges and a paint brush! For the crayon art piece I got a canvas, hot glue and 48 crayons! I plan to do a post on each project, although I really want to do a video I just don't think I will be able to film myself doing it, if only I had 3 arms. The weather has been kind of poopy lately, which has been a downer but HOPEFULLY it starts to get a bit nicer out so I can work on my tan. I feel like my life is so boring right now that it's pointless to post on but I ensure next Wednesday I will have much more interesting stories to tell!

It's Raining Cats And Dogs!

First off I apologize for my post being so late today, I had a fairly busy day! Next, your probably thinking the typical zebra, cheetah, cow print right? Well I am actually referring to a new trend I have been noticing in the past few months that is "out of control". The quote "it's raining cats and dogs" brings this print to mind. Lately people have been wearing clothing articles (mainly shirts) that contain little cats and dogs all over them, now I am all for animal pride but something about this trend just turns me off. It was extremely difficult to find pictures of this but I managed to find a couple. I am hoping this is only a trend for the extreme fashionist because I just cannot see this becoming main stream in fashion. It seems as if the trend is coming over from Asia and is slowly but surely making an impression on Canadian and American fashion. Sorry it's a short post today! Tomorrow's will be much better! peace&love
