Pamper your Locks!!

Ladies, these frigid temperatures have not been very kind and its leaving our hair and skin so dry and thirsty. Let's give our hair a little love this weekend, It’s exhausted! This do-it-yourself home mask will leave your hair shinny, soft and hydrated and the best part is it’s SO simple!

What you'll need:
•Half an avocado {rich in vitamins and minerals}
•Half a banana {Potassium, vitamin B6}
•1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil {vitamin E}
•1 egg {Rich in fats, proteins & naturally moisturizing}
•A shower cap/or a plastic bag
•20-30 minutes of spare pampering time

**WARNING. I would skip the Banana!! It left chunks in my hair and I had to wash my hair three times to get it out!!! Other then that my hair was left soft and silky.



1. Crush the avocado in a bowl, mix in the other ingredients and combine until you have a smooth creamy texture.


2. Massage into hair from roots to tips.


3. Cover you hair with a shower cap or plastic bag { I know classy right! }



4. Leave in your hair for about 20-30 minutes.
5. Repeat twice a month to maintain healthy hair.

Saw it, Pinned it, Did it!

Candle jars!!

Step 1: Once you've burned the candle completely, it'll have a little bit of wax left at the bottom. Put the jar in your freezer, leave it for at least an hour or even over night.



Step 2: The cold temperature will cause the wax to shrink and loosen from the sides of the jar. Using a knife carefully poke the wax to break it apart some may even come out whole.




Step 3: Peel off the label. If there is a label on the bottom of the jar, peel that off as well. They should come off very easily.


Step 4: Clean the remaining wax and glue out of the jar using a paper towel with a small amount of vinegar or olive oil on it. Rinse out with soapy water and dry with a paper towel.


Step 5: Now you have a cute jar to store jewelry, cotton rounds or anything else you want. Enjoy!
