Homemade Coconut Shampoo

HOME MADE COCONUT SHAMPOO

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup coconut milk
2/3 cup castile soap
2 teaspoons oil (I use coconut)

Mix all of the ingredients in an empty shampoo bottle or jar and shake.

You can keep it in the shower for one to two months, but seriously? It will be gone before then!

I love this recipe because I know what I am putting in my hair! I have naturally curly hair, and it is a nightmare! The more I can do to keep it hydrated, the better. This is a GREAT shampoo, and leaves your hair smelling amazing! If you want to add some essential oils feel free! Let us know What you used and how good the smell turned out!

Homemade Make-up: Foundation/ Bronzer/ Blush/ Eye Shadow

I've found that making my own makeup has not only saved me money, but also helped my skin. I like using a cleaned out or new spice container for my loose powders. You just simply shake once, open the lid and take your powder from the lid. For Loose Powder- Mix together then store in a spice jar, make-up container, or an old compact. Pressed Powder- If you want to make it a more solid base so that only a little sticks to the brush, use a few drops of essential oil or rubbing alcohol to mix with the powder and push down in a compact. This will make it hard like a regular compact. Creamy/ Liquid- If you want a more creamy product, add some homemade or scent free lotion, petroleum jelly, or coconut oil. (I prefer coconut oil, I whip it with my little handheld mixer before adding. It makes for a much easier application). Store in jar with lid or pump. You can also add this combination to some homemade or scent free lotion, petroleum jelly, ...

Homemade Creamy Italian Dressing

I dug through SO MANY different recipes that have lists a mile long for a simple salad dressing. In the end, Just had to make my own. My boyfriend is a picky eater, so here's my first and last attempt at making this Creamy Italian Dressing to die for! Super Quick and Easy- Not to mention AMAZING! 1 cup -Mayo 2 Tbs- Vinegar (I prefer Apple Cider Vinegar) 1 Tbs- Sugar 1 1/2 Tbs- Italian Seasoning 1/4 tsp Garlic Salt Sprinkle with pepper **Whip it up, and enjoy. If you want it a bit more runny use a bit more Vinegar. The thickness of this dressing could be used for a dip as well. End Result? AMAZING-NESS! My boyfriend puts this in everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. Let me know how well you all like my homemade concoction. =)

DIY MAKE-UP SETTING SPRAY

What is a setting Spray? PURE AMAZING-NESS- That's what! I love my Mac Setting spray ( Fix + ), but to spend $21 for a 3.4 oz bottle? I knew there had to be a way to DIY. Setting sprays are always great to have for a quick grab in the summer, when it feels like your face is melting off. One simple spray and you're good. (I always keep a to-go spray bottle in my purse. Around $.97 at Walmart) I am sure you all know, bottom line, Glycerin = Sugar. Don't be scared yet. With the sugar water diluted you won't end up having syrup on your face- Also, Make sure that you DO NOT SPRAY TOO CLOSE TO YOUR FACE. A simple spray about elbows length away is enough. Using this recipe you can change the scent to whatever you like! Personally, I like using Filtered Rose Water (it's mild, and has a great scent)- If you have redness in your skin the rose water will help. Another option is adding one part witch hazel- it make...
