DIY: Velvet hands- Take care of cuticles

So all of us ladies like to take care of our hands and nails so we often get manicures. Even on your own, you can take care of your nails, get a coloured or a french manicure. But you also need to tend your cuticles as well, in order for your hand to look perfect and for your manicure to pop up!
Here is the best way to tend your cuticles, all you will need is some petroleum jelly and a pair of disposable gloves. Below you see a picture of my hand and cuticles before the treatment..



 Apply vaseline all over your cuticles and nails...



..and put on your gloves

The more you stay like this the better. For instance i do this before i go to bed and let it work all night.
After you take the gloves off your cuticles will be smooth aand easier for you , if you want, to push back and remove.


Good luck and Thank you! :*

DIY: Lighten your Hair NATURALLY with Chamomile and Lemon

So, summer is here! Sea, sun, drinks and friends!
Many of us (girls) feel like changing something in their appearence for the season ( i know i do) and most of the times this is our hair. We usually want to lighten it but we don't want to dye them because this would damage it even more along with the sun and the salt.
So here is something you could do to get natural highlights.
 NOTICE: This will work best for natural blondes who want to get even lighter highlights.

All you will need is chamomile, a lemon and a spray bottle.

First, you boil the chamomile until it gets this golden hue.Then you put it aside to cool off.



You cut a lemon in half, you squeez and strain so as to keep only the juice, without the pieces because they will jam in the bottle's tube.





 Then you pour the lemon juice in the spray bottle.


 Finally, you pour the chamomile.


And there you have it!!
HOW TO USE: This won't work on its own. It needs the sun. So there are 2 options.
Option No1: You spray your hair and you stay under the sun for 30 minutes. Then you come inside, wash your hair very well and don't forget to use your conditioner because lemon will damage your hair if you don't by making them fierce and dry.
Option No2: This is the one i use. I don't wanna waste my time by staying on the porch for half an hour under the boiling sun without doing anything else. So here's what i do; when i go to the beach i take the bottle with me and i spray my hair and let it work while i'm sunbathing. So i get a tan and some highlights! Plus that you can stay more than 30 minutes without even noticing!


Have a great summer people!!
