How to make your own homemade mouthwash

If you are Canadian then you have undoubtedly watched an episode of Degrassi. As an 80’s baby, I was more of a Next Generation audience member than the original.

One of the hunkiest dudes was Peter. He was good girl Darcy’s (played by Shenae Grimes of 90210) boyfriend and in one episode she outs him for having gnarly, jungo breath. Harsh, Darcy. Real harsh.

This is a very roundabout way of getting onto the topic of bad breath (and eventually a homemade mouthwash you can make), but cute boys distract me and this is what happens. Oops! [Keep Reading]

How to make your own homemade bug repellent

Summer’s great and all, but there is one thing that comes with summer that I could totally live without; bugs!

I cringe just thinking of it!

I recently read somewhere that soap was used on hair before, but it showed bad results that’s why some people melt the soap and add some oils. Thanks to Kasey Hebert, we now have shampoos that give our hair some tender loving care.  [Keep Reading]

The best DIY hair removal tricks

Not too long ago I underwent a little surgery. Two weeks prior my doctor informed me that I was no longer allowed to shave. Oh yes, you heard that right. No shaving of the legs, underarms, bikini line; nada! Apparently shaving puts you at risk of infection which is a no-no before surgery.

I think it’s important that you know I’m not a very hairy individual.  After two weeks of no hair removal, even the best of us become as soft as a puppy’s leg. [Keep Reading]

How to make your own homemade BB cream

People seem to be going bananas over BB creams lately. To be perfectly honest, when I first heard of them I had to google what BB stood for. For those misinformed beauty bloggers like myself, it stands for ‘blemish balm’ or ‘blemish base.’

Curious to know more? Let’s get into it… [Keep Reading]

Anti cellulite massage techniques

Have you ever been to a true Italian pizzeria and watched the chef prepare their dough?

With a labour of love they knead, push and stretch the dough and continue to do so for at least 10 minutes. The firmer the hand, the better the result.

Oddly enough, the same rings true for massaging away cellulite.

Cellulite forms from fat build ups deep within the layering of our skin. It becomes more noticeable when our connective tissue fibres push down against it causing the blood flow to restrict, engorging the fat cells.

This is what causes that nasty dimpling effect we all loathe.
