| A while back I made a post about some beauty tips I had in mind. Welllllllllll, I think it's time for another round of those! How bout it! :)
Beauty tips part 1 ~ here
1 ~ Instead of buying those expensive pore strips from the drug store to remove blackheads, make your own!
You need: - 1 tablespoon unflavoured gelatin (I use the brand "Knox")
- 1 Tablespoon of milk
- Mix the ingredients together and microve for about 10-15 seconds. Make sure it's not too hot before you apply it on your nose (or wherever you have blackheads). Wait 10 minutes or until it's completely dry and peel peel peel off your face! watch the nasty toxins and blackheads come out. (ha, that's my favorite part). GET DE-GUNKED! Your nose will feel sooo smooth afterwards.

2~Make your hair smell extra nice!
Grab your favorite perfume and spritz it over your hair brush. Run the brush through your hair and you will smell eau-so-lovely. (I heart puns)
3~ SAKE : pronounced SAH-KEE; aka a Japanese oriented alcoholic beverage, aka an amazing toner.
Back in time, it is said that geisha's used to bathe in Sake. It was the secret to their beautiful skin.
It helps with acne and clears away redness. Love that stuff, but hard to find in normal super markets. Keep your eyes opened for it. I found mine at an asian supermarket. Organic superstores like Wholefoods also carries some.
4~ Got puffy eyes, or that dreaded "pink eye" ?
Boil some water and grab some tea bags. Make yourself a nice cup of tea, and then take the tea bag and put it over your puffed up eyes. Keep it there for a while until you notice the inflammation going down.
5~ Tired baggy under eyes? Grab a cold spoon (put it in the freezer for a good 10 minutes) and put it over the eye. Leave it there until it turns room temperature. Helps reduce the baggy-ness.
I love Robert Sheehan's baggy eyes. ahhhhhh fkdshfk
6~ When I curl my hair with a curling iron, which is like almost every day, I do not open the clasp of the iron. I just wrap my hair around the barrel. It makes such beautiful mermaid-y waves.
Wraps your hair around the barrel like this photo:
7~ Slice a tomato and rub it all over your face. Yep, I just said that. Leave the juice on for 15 minutes. It gives you glowly skin and helps with acne! scooooooore
8~ If your heels are dry and cracked, rub Vaseline all over them, slip some socks on and sleep like that. Rinse your feet in the morning and you'll find yourself with soft footsies C:
^ btw. beeeeautiful henna. "she got a henna that said forever" :OO
9~ HEY THERE BRUNETTES!! want to get some natural golden highlights in your hair this summer?
Listen to this: Use chamomile tea. How? Boil a pot of it and allow it to cool. Wash your hair and after conditioning it rinse your hair with the tea. Have fun under the sun or just simply relax from 30-60 minutes every other day or until you notice your sun-kissed tresses! :)
Well that's all I got for now beauties! Sorry it's not as big as part 1.
I'm open to recommendations + requests! If it's do-able, I'll do it.
The beauty of a woman
is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries,
or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman
must be seen from in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
the passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman
with passing years-only grows!
