Exfoliate - BY FANTASTIC CAT

I went to walmart and bought some Sara Michael's oil spray. It's like six bucks for a pretty good sized bottle. Then I took one of those hinged lid jars with the rubber thing on it (I guess it's a canning jar or something) and poured some table salt into it. I added oil and stirred, then repeated that until the jar was almost full. At the end, you want just a little more oil than salt, so that there is a thin layer of oil on top of the salt. This exfoliates and moisturizes at the same time and leaves your skin smelling YUMMY! Cheaper than that stuff you buy in the mall, plus, you get the satisfaction of knowing YOU made it! Great gift idea as well. One caveat: Clean the tub out really well after using it, because it really makes the tub slick. Also, it's better to use it on your skin BEFORE you take a shower, while your skin is still dry because it works better. I don't why. Leave it on for about 5 min then rinse it.

Soft Hair, Toned Skin On Face And Body - BY PARROTTKE

Cheap and easy. After showering, pour 1 T.-2 T. Apple Cider Vinegar into large plastic fast-food cup, dilute by filling the cup with warm water and pour over hair, face, and body. Make sure it's the real 5% acidic vinegar, NOT WHITE vinegar. Keep your eyes closed until you rinse the vinegar water off. Thoroughly rinse your hair, face, and body. Softens your hair better than greasy conditioners, keeps skin from dryness caused by soaps. Soap and shampoo strips the oils from your skin and hair. We tend to oil them back up with moisturizers and conditioners. Apple Cider Vinegar merely neutralizes the effects of soaps. The heavy vinegar smell dissipates almost immediately. Feel cleaner than you've ever felt before!

Long Lasting Eyeshadow - BY HEDGEHOG19

Want your eyeshadow to last all day? It's simple and inexpensive! Before you apply your favorite eyeshadow, put a thin layer of Vaseline on your eyelids. Another great way to use Vaseline: mix with a little lipstick for tinted lip gloss.

My nails have always been weak and fragile.I have tried everything that has been sold in the stores to strengthen them. A friend suggested to take a Biotin (vitamin) once a day. Within, two - three weeks my nails are hard as rocks. It is truly amazing. An extra benefit, it also makes your hair grow nice and thick.
