Hydrating facial spray

A misty spritzing of face spray is a terrific way to keep your skin hydrated and to wake up your senses. This formula, adapted from Easy Green Living: The Ultimate Guide to Simple, Eco-Friendly Choices For You and Your Home, by Renee Loux, is just the thing. The author recommends using distilled water or bottled mineral water for optimal shelf life and best results.
Note about essential oils: Follow your sense of appeal when using oils for scent. Start slowly with mixing and matching–some of the best blends are simple, so try just one or two at first. High-quality essential oils cost a pretty penny, but just a wee bit is needed and they have an indefinite shelf life. Happy blending!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup distilled or mineral water
10 drops pure essential oils of lavender, rose, chamomile, and/or sweet orange
Suggestions: 4 drops rose, 3 drops lavender, 2 drops chamomile and 1 drop sweet orange or 5 drops each of lavender and chamomile.
Place all of the ingredients in a glass jar. Cap the bottle tightly and shake well. Pour the mixture into a 1- or 2-ounce spray bottle.
Store the remainder in the fridge and refill the spray bottle as needed; it will keep forever. Lightly spray your face whenever your skin or your outlook needs refreshing.
VARIATIONS
For dry skin, add 1/2 teaspoon vegetable glycerine (a humectant that draws water from the air to condition the skin and is available at natural markets) or 1 teaspoon avocado or almond oil.
For sensitive skin, choose the soothing essential oils of rose and chamomile over those of lavender and sweet orange.
For oily skin, add 1 teaspoon of witch hazel and try the essential oils of lavender and grapefruit
Good Luck ! :)

Simple Hair Masks

You don’t need to buy the priciest conditioners on the market to moisturize and revitalize your hair — just whip up a wonderful homemade hair mask from ingredients you’ll find right in your kitchen. The bonus? These all-natural moisturizers add softness and shine to your hair without using a single chemical. Here’s how to get started.
Go bananas. Bananas make a wonderful hair mask when blended with an egg, three teaspoons each of honey and milk, and five teaspoons of olive oil. Massage the mixture onto your hair and scalp and leave it on for a half hour before you shampoo it out.
Egg yourself on. Scramble two eggs with two teaspoons of water, then work the mixture into damp hair. Let it soak in for 15 minutes before you wash your hair.
Get a little honey. A sweet conditioning mask mixes equal parts honey and olive oil. You’ll need to rub the mask into your hair and wrap your locks in plastic wrap. Shampoo after 30 minutes.
Oil up your scalp. Make a mask from two eggs and five teaspoons of olive oil and massage into your hair and scalp. Let it sit for a half hour before washing it out.
Try a little avocado. Mix mashed avocado with a teaspoon each of olive oil and honey, then apply to your hair. Leave the mask on for at least 20 minutes, then wash it away.
Get some fruit. Grab a bunch of your favorite fruits. Put a half a banana in a blender with one-quarter each of a cantaloupe and an avocado and two tablespoons of yogurt. Apply the mixture to your hair for 15 minutes before you shampoo.
Mix up some strawberries. Mix a cup of strawberries, an egg yolk, and two tablespoons of olive oil in your food processor, then work it into your hair. Let it soak in for 20 minutes before shampooing it away.
Put a little mayo on it. Thicken your hair while you condition with a hair mask made of mayo. You can use plain mayo, or mix in a few teaspoons of Epsom salts and a beaten egg. Either way, let it sit in your hair for a half hour before shampooing. (The mayo also makes a killer defrizzer.)
Go a little nutty. Almond oil can also help defrizz your hair. To make a hair mask, combine a ¼ cup of honey, a ½ cup of yogurt, and a tablespoon of almond oil, then work it into your hair from root to tip. Leave it on for 20 minutes before you shampoo.

The steps to make this is the same as the other one above.

Uses of vegetable glycerin

Cleansing Oil

• Glycerin makes a good base for facial cleansing oils. It is a natural product that can soften dry skin with a nice cooling effect. It is also good to use on sensitive skin with the addition of aloe vera gel. Mix glycerin with liquid castile soap for an effective cleanser. Add essential oils such as rosemary or peppermint for added scent. The essential oils helps to calm your nerves especially if you use lavender or chamomile oil.

Clear Soaps

• Vegetable glycerin makes attractive clear soaps. It is easy to work with too. Add dyes and essential oils to create soap. Be aware, because of its tendency to draw moisture from the air, that it will dissolve more quickly than  normal bar soaps. Refrain from using glycerin soaps on your face in dry environments to prevent moisture loss.

Herbal Preparations

• Its sweet taste makes it a good base for herbal preparations that may contain bitter or sour-tasting herbs. Glycerin mixed with baking soda, salt and peppermint essential oil creates pleasant-tasting toothpaste that whitens your teeth. You can purchase the glycerin online as it is quite hard to find in supermarkets.

Facial Creams

• Glycerin can be added to facial cream for added moisturizing and soothing effects. Mix with sweet almond oil, liquid lecithin and melted beeswax. Add rosewater and essential oils for a mix and match of your own scent. As with any product, discontinue use if you experience redness or other reactions when using products with glycerin.

Hair Conditioner

• Glycerin makes an effective conditioner, bringing moisture to dry hair. To help heal damaged hair, add aloe vera to glycerin for a moisture-rich conditioner.

Household Uses

• Glycerin has applications that make household products. Grease molds and cupcake pans for easy removal after baking. Prevent hydraulic jacks from freezing with a little glycerin applied to exposed surfaces.

Good luck fnding the glycerin! Happy always:)

School Bag essentials

First thing: A hand sanitizer is essential for school. Remmeber keeping clean prevents germs from coming into contact with your hands face and etc. You don't want pimples on your face just because you didn't wash you hands and touched you face.

Instead of a wallet why don't you buy a wristlet. You can keep your money in there plus you phone, I.D. and other valuable stuff. Besides you don't want to bring such a heavy wallet around with you. One of the reasons why I like a wristlet is because its light and you can carry it around on your hand without losing it!

To bring your keys to your house is optional but i recommend it. Sometimes, I get lockeed out because i forgot that my family is going out today and I forgot my keys. I am talking from personal experience so if you are forgetful please bring your keys.

Bring gum and mints. One is for bad breath and one helps you to concentrate as mints wakes you up during class if you're feeling sleepy. Some classes don't allow gum so use mint. It all depends on the teacher actually. But sometimes, i just can't control it as I'm feel sleepy so I do it in secret.

Get one or two files. one should be for your homewrok while the other for letters and etc. It depends on how many files you want as files keep you organised and tidy. You wouldn't want to open your bag and find your test paper which is torn as the corners and being crumpled at the corners.

Don't forget your school agenda and other notebooks and exercise books. It all depends to you about what you want to do with them. Your school agenda is useful as you can write your homewrok in it if you may forget or you are forgetful. Please bring a novel with you as you can occupy yourself with something during a free period.

Your pencilcase. One very important thing for school. Remember to bring extra pens and pencils and other stationary as many people love to take your stationary and never return them. Well unless you know about it and keep tailing them till they give it back. Bring your calculator!! Never forget that! Especially for math class. Please bring a water bottle. Keep yourself hydrated during class or after P.E.

Last thing, I bring a P.E kit/Make up kit as after the lesson some people or me may start to stink up. This P.E kit is equipped with deodarant, mints, nail filer, teeth floss, Sanitary pads or tampons, A mini hairbrush, headbands, hair ties, a mirror, body mist, Breath spray, make up(optional), chapstick/ lip balm.

Okay so those are the essentials i recommend you ladies to bring.
