5 At-Home waxing tips from the pros

Like I said in my last post I've been waxing for 8 yrs. I rather wax then give someone a pedicure! I've picked up alot of tips along the way but for now I will only share the 5 most important ones with you.

1. Never wax just after sunbathing or a tanning salon…

Tanning always harms epidermis – the outer layer of skin. So, when you are putting hot wax on it, pulling and ripping it off can peel a few layers of your skin, and you can end up with visible bruises or even scabs.
Wait at least 24 hrs after to wax.

2. After waxing, wait at least a few hours …

Before going into a hot tub, sauna, or a public swimming pool. Otherwise, you might be in danger of getting unpleasant skin infections. Slight damage to the skin, caused by waxing, coupled with improperly maintained water provides a breeding ground for bacteria. The hot water from the hot tub will make it worse, it will feel like your legs are on fire. A shower is ok.

3. Do not wax if you have …

• Skin allergies
• Acne
• Inflamed skin
• Very sensitive skin
• Cold sores
• Cysts
• Boils
• Growths
• Sunburn
• Peeling or broken skin
• Cuts
• Warts, moles
• Active herpes virus

4. Always read instructions for the waxing products you are using …
Otherwise you might end up with burns or clumps of wax stuck to your skin – uncomfortable and absolutely un-beach worthy…

5. If you are not sure how to wax – call a salon for information …

When it comes to at-home waxing, it’s better not to do something than to do and then regret. If you are unsure about how to use the waxing product you purchased, call the nearest beauty salon for a professional advice. Most of the professionals will gladly explain how to work your home kit and their piece of advice will guarantee you a healthy, beautiful, and hair-free summer! :)

Also areas to avoid...

• Eyelids
• Inside the nose
• Ear cavity, use cuticle scissors and clip the unwanted hairs.
• Do not apply wax to the nipples on a man or woman.

If you have any skin condition, cancer, medication check with your doctor before you do any waxing.

I hope this helps you!

Planning a wedding and blogging....

So I realized that I have 171 days!!! That's 5 months 3 weeks until my wedding!!!!! I want to show you some photos, and explain why I haven't posted as much like I used too.
I am having a Shabby Chic theme. Lots of DIY projects. Very small, maybe 55 ppl.


My Wedding Dress




DIY project- dyed my crinoline




Bridesmaid dresses.

The reason I am sharing this detail of my life with you all. Is because I am planning and making items so my blog post's wont happen everyday like they used too.
It's only for this month I have to finish some paper bouquets! I should be finished them by the end of this week. So I will be back to posting daily.
I am also trying to make more video's.  
Thanks ladies and see you daily hopefully next weekend! xoxo

Homemade Beauty Recipes

Here are some quick recipes with ingredients that almost everyone has at home.

Enjoy!

Honey Mask Recipe
The best facial mask is honey. Place a cloth in warm water and apply to your face to open the pores. Smear on honey, and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores. Use once a week.

Lemon and Egg Mask Recipe
Squeeze half a lemon and mix the juice with one beaten egg white. Leave on your face overnight or, for a quick pick-me-up, just 15 minutes. Splash warm water on your face to rinse.
It helps to removes blotches, because the lemon works as a bleaching agent.

Lighten Circles Under Eyes Recipe
To lighten dark circles under your eyes, wrap a grated raw potato in cheesecloth and apply to eyelids for 15-20 minutes. Wipe off residue and apply an eye cream.

Banana Wrinkle Fighter Recipe
Banana is wonderful as an anti-wrinkle treatment. Mash 1/4 banana until very creamy. Spread all over face and leave for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water followed by a dash of cold. Gently pat dry.

My favorite is the banana, and honey mask! I'll be posting more recipes throughout the year.

My Mom's elf Haul

When  I went to my mommas house this weekend, she had her elf order to show me. I also wanted to share with you what she bought. It's not a full review because I only used them once, but from what I've seen I'll share.

1. Cream Blush- Flirt and Tease.
I never touched a cream blush before so I didn't know what to expect.
This one feels like a sponge. Nice and creamy and smooth. The color is great, you can built it up to how ever dark you want or go for a natural look. I really like these blushes!
$6

2. Mineral Glow- Shimmer, Bronzer
These are really smooth. The bronzer has NO Shimmer. It's perfect to contour or use in the winter for a bronzer. The shimmer is perfect for a highlighter, it reflects the light beautifully.
$8

 3. Mineral Lip Gloss- Fierce, Au Naturale
It is a sheer gloss, so you can wear it alone or over top of a lipstick. It glides on smooth, without being tacky.
$3



 4. Mineral Lipstick- Runway pink
I love this lipstick! It glides smooth, it hydrates your lips. The pink is a nice natural color.
Mom wore this with the au naturale lip gloss over top and it looked beautiful!

I hope you enjoyed mom's first elf haul. I was excited to use the new blush! Can't wait to buy one. They also stay on if you just was with water, it wouldn't come off my hand! Great product
