Freeze Dry

This is a great quick dry nail tip for my fellow impatient women out there! I have the hardest time sitting still and waiting for my nails to dry after I paint them. Not to mention as a mom, down time to sit and allow the proper time for my nails to dry is few and far between. Plus I will admit it, there are few things as frustrating as taking the time to paint my nails only to discover 5 minutes later that one is smudged or dinged. I discovered this fabulous little trick a couple years back and it has become one of my favorite beauty short-cut. 

Before you paint you nails get a bowl, fill it up with cold water and some ice cubes. Let it sit while you paint your nails. Once complete with the painting process submerge your nails in the ice water for 2-3 minutes and whallah. Dry, smudge free nails!!

All Natural DIY Face Mask

 All Natural Coffee Facial Mask

This here is one of the best all natural coffee facial masks. (clarification in case you were wondering what that brown goop face picture is, haha) I try to do this mask about once a week myself. All the ingredients have such great nutrients in them that are incredibly beneficial to the skin.  Every time I rinse this off my face I am amazed at how clean, fresh and even my skin looks (as you can see in the bottom pic, no make-up and no touch-up at all!!!)

I hope you try this at home, I guarantee you will be hooked after one try!!!

Here is how to do it:

1 Tbsp Coffee

1 Tbsp Pure Cocoa Powder

1 Egg White

1/2 Tbsp Honey

Mix all the ingredients together until a paste forms, spread onto face and let dry (usually takes about 15 minutes), rinse off with warm water and follow up with your favorite moisturizer!!

                                                                       

                                              Simple ingredients.

Afterwards. Fresh looking' skin!
