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!

This week’s tip is how to avoid that dreaded gap between your eyeliner and eyelashes…

While there is no “wrong way” to do your makeup, and if you like the way that something looks go for it and do what makes you feel pretty!…All that being said…

I remember when I was a junior in college I had a friend that always had a gap in between her eyeliner and eyelash line.  For some strange reason, it seriously drove me nuts!

When eyeliner is done correctly your lashes will look fuller and your liner will make your eyes stand out.  To achieve this is as simple as wiggling your eyeliner directly into your lash line.  Yup, that is it!   If you need to you can even lift your upper lid and tight lining underneath you lashes.  This way your eyeliner with be an enhancement and not a distraction from you beautiful eyes!

Instead of using a pencil, gel, or liquid liner to line the lower lash line use  eye shadow.  Take a small eyeshadow brush and a coordinating eyeshadow and apply it to the outer two-thirds of the lower lash line. Blending the darker color with the inner corner color will create a beautifully seamless look along the lower lash line.  This simple trick will give dimension and depth to the eyes without looking too harsh. Don’t forget to blend blend blend!

This week’s tip is to use coconut oil as a makeup remover

I have mentioned before that I have to wear waterproof mascara if I want my lashes to stay curled.  Since it is waterproof most regular cleanser will not remove my mascara.  I like to remove every single little bit of my makeup every night, so I needed to figure out a way to get all my waterproof mascara off.  That is when I discovered coconut oil as a makeup remover.

Coconut oil is great for so many things, but one of my favorite things to use it for is a natural makeup remover.  A small amount goes a very long way, so a jar or bottle will last a long time!

I start with my eyes since it takes a little while for the oil to breakdown the mascara. I use take one pump of fractionated coconut oil or one tiny scoop of organic unrefined coconut oil.  I rub it gently on my eyes in a circular motion.  I let that settle in while I remove the rest of the make up from my face.

To remove the rest of the rest of my face makeup, I gently rub coconut oil in a circular motion all over my face. I wash it all off with a warm wet wash cloth*.

*You don’t want to let the coconut oil filled water that you rinse off your face with go down the drain.  Over time it will harden and clog up your pipes.  Pretty gross!

I love to wear long dangling earrings!

It is so annoying to be looking amongst your jewelry for the perfect pair of earrings and only being able to find one of them.  One way I keep all my earrings organized and easy to find is with buttons.  I insert the earrings into the button holes and have a simple yet ingenious way to keep my earrings together and organized.  Now whenever I am looking in my jewelry box for a pair of earrings they are already together and easy to find.

Baby wipes are not just for babies!

If you are a mother, you will already know all about this tip, I am not telling you anything new, but baby wipes are amazing for so many things. One of my favorite things to use baby wipes for is removing my makeup.  Since the wipes are made for delicate baby skin they are also great for the more sensitive skin of the face.

I usually get the scent free and sensitive skin ones.  Not only are they  gentle, but also efficient at getting the job done.  Also, baby wipe cost so much less than the wipes that are specifically labeled as “makeup remover wipes”.

This weeks tip has nothing to do with beauty or makeup, but it is still a great tip!

I was using my microwave the other day and what I was heating up exploded all over the inside.  So gross and so annoying to clean up.  This weeks tip is a simple way to effortlessly clean your microwave.

Look at how gross and dirty the inside of my microwave is! Yuck!

Fill a microwave safe bowl with 1 cup of apple cider vinegar and 1 cup of water. Put the mixture into the microwave and heat it on high for 10 minutes.  Let it sit in the microwave for an additional 5 minutes.  Remove the bowl and wipe down walls, top, bottom and door of the microwave.  (Be careful when you take the bowl out, it will be hot!)  The steam from the vinegar water mixture will have loosened everything from the inside of the microwave making it quick and easy to wipe clean.  It is like magic!
