1. Cleanser

2. Toner

3. Serum or oil (or whatever skin treatment you might be applying)

Today’s tip has to do with getting ready for a big event:

Do not try out new hair and skin products the day of or day before a big event!

Do you have a special event coming up?  Don’t wait until the day of to start preparing for it.  If you have a hair mask or a face mask that you want to use to make your hair and skin look its best, start prepping and primping 5-7 days in advance.

Cowlicks!

Growing up it was my dream to be a hairdresser!  Although I didn’t end up choosing that as my career, all throughout nursing school I made extra cash by cutting the hair of all the girls that lived in the dorms.

Fast forward a decade and a half, (wow, has really been that long…)  I am still interested in cutting hair.  I don’t do as many haircuts as I did back in the day, but the ones that I do are more important to me because they are on my own head and the hair of my kids and husband.

 

I have been subscribed to Matt Beck’s YouTube channel for a while now.  He has so many awesome tips and tricks for cutting hair and getting the best style from your cut.

I have some crazy cowlicks going on in my hair!  Both my son and daughter have similar cowlicks as well.

There is always something new to learn and always some new technique to make things easier and the haircuts look better!

This week’s tip has to do with perfect under eye concealing!

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

It’s not just about finding the perfect product (I recommend the Instant Age Rewind by Maybelline), it is also a lot about technique.

This week’s tip:

Cancel out any creases in your under eye concealer before setting the area with powder.

After applying the concealer to your under eye area, take a minute to go back again and smooth out the concealer one more time before powdering.  You can use your finger, a brush, or a damp beauty sponge.  This seems like such a simple tip, but it will make a big difference in the look of the under eye area.  Keep in mind that powder will seal everything in, so smooth out your concealer before setting it.

Want your lashes to grow without expensive serums?

I have mentioned before that I have super straight sad lashes that do not stay curled when I apply regular mascara.  Due to this fact, whenever I wear mascara, I use waterproof mascara. You may have heard that wearing waterproof mascara is bad for your lashes and that it will make them dry and brittle.

Whenever I wear waterproof mascara, I remove it with coconut oil (this was tip #35).  After a little while of doing this, I noticed that instead of the waterproof mascara making my lashes becoming dry and brittle, my lashes were actually growing and becoming stronger from the coconut oil.

As you have probably guessed, this week’s tip is to apply coconut oil to your lashes to help strengthen and lengthen them.

Added bonus, I also use the coconut oil as an under eye serum and I think that it makes a big difference.

Keep in mind that a little bit goes a long way and if you use too much coconut oil you will get it into your eye and end up with blurred vision, not fun!

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesday!

To quickly clear up a breakout, apply a mix of tea tree oil, lavender oil, and coconut oil.  The pimple will be much smaller by the next day.  I  am always amazed at how quickly this combination clears up my breakouts!

Want your lips to look fuller?

To make your lips look fuller, apply a shimmery gloss to the center of both the top and bottom lip.  The shimmer will attract light to your lips, making them look bigger and fuller.

Today’s tip is about blush application.

When applying your blush always allow about two fingers from your nose to where your blush application starts.  This will help balance the face, as well as apply blush to the areas of your face that would naturally flush.

Use Decaf Coffee or Peppermint Tea to Defeat Cravings

If you are like me, sometime around 2:30-3 pm you start craving sweets and foods you shouldn’t eat.  I have found that if I drink black decaf coffee I can stave off these cravings!  Studies have shown that drinking black decaf coffee, peppermint tea, or regular coffee helped to kill cravings.

I absolutely love these Folgers coffee singles*!  They have such a great flavor and are so simple to make just one cup of coffee in the afternoon!

Do you hate wasting money on spoiled produce?  I definitely do!  Here are a few tips to keeping your produce fresher longer.

wp-1459775479025.jpg

Keep your squash, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions and garlic fresher longer by storing them in a cool dry place.  Separate them into squash, and potatoes in one bowl or basket and the onions and garlic together. Store them in a dark cupboard or closet.

Want to keep your potatoes from looking back at you?  Store them with an apple.  An apple will prevent the potatoes from sprouting eyes.

Wash fresh strawberries, raspberries and blueberries in one part vinegar and three parts water to make them last longer.

Want to keep your bananas fresher longer?  Wrap the tip in saran wrap, preventing the release of ethylene.  The stem of the banana releases a lot of ethylene, so store bananas away from other fruits to keep the other fruits fresher longer.

Let me know if you try it and if it works for you!
