DIY Sea Spray

*Poll down at the bottom of screen*
Let me just say this week has been the most awful week ever. So to get away from it all I decided to write on this blog. It only makes me more depressed to know this blog only has 17 views since I posted this. Those were probably from me editing it. And I have no poll votes, not even one. So here is how to make your own DIY salt spray, that is super cheap and actually works. This seriously worked for me, you can also alter the amounts of product in the sea spay to get the best results with your hair.

What you'll need:

  • A small plastic spray bottle
  • Sea salt
  • Hair get
  • Spoon
  •  Warm water

First take your spray bottle and fill it with water, leave a little bit of room at the top. Next, pour your sea salt into a spoon, and pour it into the bottle. I used 2 heaping spoon fulls for my spray bottle, and it was pretty small. Screw the top on your spray bottle and shake for a minute or too until the salt is dissolved. Open your spray bottle up and squeeze a little into your spray bottle, not too much depending on the hold you are looking for, I did a dime sized amount. Screw the top back on your spray bottle and shake. Tada, you have your very own sea spray. You can spray this on wet or dry hair, I sprayed it on damp hair, and scrunched a bit, then re sprayed when it was dry and scrunched. Keep in mind I have very fine hair, so I dunno if this method will work for you. Always shake before applying to hair.

DIY Pore Strip

So one day I decided I wanted some pore strips. Once I got these pore strips, I followed the directions on the package and I found out that these did not work at all. These pore strips were fabric on one side and sticky on the other. The pore strip was supposed to dry on your face, and then you were supposed to peel it off. When I stuck this thing on my nose it immediately started peeling off my face, only sticking on my face for about 10 seconds. By the time I was supposed to peel it off, it practically fell off on its own. So as you can see they did not work for me, at all. So I decided that this easy trick would work better than a pore strip from the store, and it does.

What you need:

  • Elmer's school glue
  • A q-tip
  • Disposable cup
First squeeze a few tablespoons of Elmer's glue into the cup. Don't measure, I just eyeballed it. Next take your q-tip and apply a thick layer of the glue anywhere you want pore stripped. I know you're thinking this will irritate your face or make you break out, but it doesn't trust me. Wait until the glue is no longer white and wet. The glue should be completely dry. Finally peel it off and rinse off your face or apply your favorite cleanser!

Diy Lip Stain

It was a boring afternoon. I was watching youtube when bam! A diy filled the screen. It was how to transform old, dry cakey, broken lipstick into a lip stain. I didn't even finish the video to see if it worked. I shut the screen and got to work. This project is seriously so easy. I had everything I needed.

What you'll need:

  • A candle
  • Your broken lipstick (This works better with darker and brighter colors)
  • A large metal spoon
  • Vaseline
  • Something to light your candle with
  • A toothpick
  • Something to put your balm in (A small screw top container works best for this, but if you don't have that you can use an old chapstick container, etc.

Fist put an equal amount of vaseline and lipstick in your metal spoon. Next light your candle and melt the vaseline and lipstick over the candle. Do not put your spoon directly in the flames, or ash will gather on the bottom of the spoon. If you do it's okay just scrub the spoon with a pot scrubber to get the ash off after you're done. Once the mixture is melted stir with the toothpick to make sure there are no clumps in the liquid. Then carefully blow out the candle and pour your new lip stain into the container. Make sure your container is empty before you start this project, trying to take chapstick out of the container while holding hot lipstick is really stressful. Then stick your lipstain in the freezer for a few minutes so it can solidify! Take it out of the freezer and you are done! You have a wonderful new lip stain! Store in a cool dry place.
