You Need To Read About Tungsten Wedding Rings

My husband and I really wanted to make a good decision on the right wedding rings, so we thought we should as around to our friends and family before we make any decisions. We got great feedback from everyone. A couple people told me to read about tungsten wedding rings which is just what I did. They have so much to offer and so much guarantee which makes anyone feel good about a purchase like this.  They are not only amazing quality, but they are absolutely beautiful. We have had them now for about 4 months and they are still looking as beautiful as ever, and some how there are no scratches. I have definitely recommended tungsten rings to all of my friends and family.

Tan With Tea? Yes You Heard Me Right!

Now that the summer has come to an end there isn't anymore sun which means we are all becoming super pale. It takes a lot of time and money to go to the tanning salon and keep up a tan. A lot of people are also against tanning because of the risk of skin cancer. Other take the approach of buying self tanning lotion, but sometimes they don't always turn out the way you want them to. There are also some people are against the chemicals they are allowing to soak into their bodies. So how else do you get a great tan when the sun isn't there? Try with tea bags. Boil some water and than let four black tea bags soak into the water for about 15 minutes. At this time you could rinse off your body to get rid of any oils. Fill a spray bottle full of the tea water and go into your shower and/or bath tub and start spraying. Try to do one part of the body at a time. Do two to three coats or even three to four if you are wanting to be at a darker shade. Make sure you are completely dry before you put you clothes on to get the best results!!

Massages In Huntington Beach Are My Kind Of Thing

All I want to do before I go back to school is to get a massage. I have been so busy this summer with working, nannying, and taking summer classes, and going back to school actually feels like it is going to be less stressful. Massages in Huntington Beach are definitely my favorite. I have gone to many different places because I wanted to find the perfect one, and I would definitely have to say Huntington Beach was my number one choice. I have no worries there and I don't have to lift a finger. They get me so relaxed I am practically dead! I love it! It is so hard to leave; I could stay there all day if I could. The best thing about the spa is that they have everything there, so it's not just massages, they do it all, and a one stop place is my kind of place.

New Frosting For Cupcakes

I always start my baking later rather than sooner. I always think they will be more fresh if I hold off on making them till the last minute, but then I don't have time to frost them! This little trick is amazing. It saves me so much time. It's unique and everyone loves it! Whenever I feel like spicing it up I carmelize just a little bit of the top the marshmallow. The steps to this efficient cupcake are easy. Just set a marshmallow on top of the almost bake cupcakes. Wait till there are 2-4 minutes remaining on the timer. They will melt right on and make a delicous frosting that you don't have to wait to cool down to apply!

Scarves Are Key To All Fall Wardrobe

Now that fall is around the corner it's time to go shopping and find a solid wardrobe. There are some clothes from your summer and spring look that can "fall" over into your fall wardrobe, but are you scared you will get cold  with just that? That's why I'm suggest you load up on the scarves. You can just see the warmth coming from the picture above. That outfit wouldn't be nearly as warm if she didn't have a scarf. So now instead of going on a shopping spree, use your old clothes and buy scarves!

Zit Zapped Gone

I'm sure you've seen those commercial about how someone has a big event later that night, but they have a huge zit that just popped up on their face. No one wants to pay for a professional to cleanse their face every time a zit pops up on short notice and you can't get into a treatment on such short notice. Instead of worrying about the cost of that treatment try this rapid action treatment cream. Within four hours your zit should be gone and you are ready to get on with your big night. Plus it's only a couple of dollars! go ahead and enjoy your night!

Turn Dividers Into Decorations

Do you have rooms in your house that are connected, but you wish you could treat them like separate rooms? Building a whole new wall can get spendy. That's why I've found an easy fix. Go out and buy a wall divider! There are different styles and lengths. Do you want to completely block off the two rooms? If so, go buy a few of the same and connect them. Personally I've put one with three sections on one end of the wall so it looks divided but you can still get through to the other room efficiently. You can find different styles that can match the theme of your rooms. Now not only are they there for a purpose, but also look like they are part of the decorations.

Clean That Gunk

I use various products when I'm flat ironing my hair.After awhile I start to see a build up that does not look pretty. I didn't think it was a big deal, but after awhile it got so bad there needs to be something done about it. Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide seem to be the go to thing to fix any beauty related problem. Well, there is nothing different here. Mix those together and apply the paste onto your iron. Work it in and watch it harden and your gunk fall right off. It an easy fix instead of going out and buying a whole knew straightener!

Need Protein In Your Life?

When I went to the salon the other week my hair was in dire need of some protein. My stylist suggested I buy this protein product. You apply this all over your head after every other shower. I'm working on nursing my hair back to health and this stuff is really helping! Now I get my protein fix without having to pay for a protein treatment once a week. It really has been a life saver and a great bargain! The best routine is to apply this every other day after showering and the days you don't apply this apply a leave in conditioner or split end protector. There is never a need to put both in at the same time!

Unique Photo Frame

I always love finding new crafty ways to make my home look more unique. This is beautiful. I have a lot of CD's in my home, but now I use my iPhone to listen to music so I no longer need them. When I found this I went out and bought a thick frame from a craft store and started clear the clutter of my CD's. Of course I saved the classics. I broke them up into medium size pieces and glued them to the frame. I hung it up right under some lights and the colors is reflects are so neat! It looks great in dim lighting with just the light above glowing. If you try this yourself feel free to get even more creative with it. Add some glitter in the cracks or some writing! The possibilities are endless!

Weave Your Way To Looking Good

Like any teenager and young adult my daughter likes to keep up with the latest fashion and find way to stay original. She liked to have things other people don't have. It can get very expensive trying to keep up. When I found this idea I couldn't wait to tell her about it and try it out. I wasn't completely sure she would go for it but she loved it! She has a lot of old sweaters that could use a tune up. So she grabbed one of them and we went to the thrift store to get some cheap designed fabric to weave through. We just did this basic shape, but I think she is going to get more creative with it with her friends. I really enjoyed being able to spend some time with her doing this and it was super cost effective.

Where Are The Bobby Pins?

This looks so silly, but it comes in handy so much! Whenever I'm doing my hair bobby pins are hard to keep track of and when I'm in the middle of doing my hair it messes everything up when I have to pause, hold my hair and scavenger for a bobby pin. This bracelet is just a simple slap band with a magnet attached to it. All I do is attract the pins to the magnet and when my hands are already in the air from doing my hair so are my bobby pins! I'm sure if you get one of these for yourself or even a girlfriend that it will come in handy for more than just doing your hair! Just remember to take it off before leaving the house!

Temporarly Color Your Hair

These are easy at home temporary hair colors. There are select colors and you can get them at your local beauty salon. They are colored powder and you just apply to your hair. You can try the Ombre look, color a whole strand of hair or give just the tips some color. They come out after your first or second wash. Than you can switch it up and try a different color all the time! A little trick I've learned is that if you apply heat, like straightening your hair it holds the color longer. It's fun for any ages of girls!

A Body Wrap Is A Quick Fix

I had my class reunion this past weekend, and I really wanted to impress. I wanted to show up looking and feeling amazing. Quick solutions are hard to find, but I realized I could get a body wrap. It was quick weight loss for just enough time that I needed. It got rid of toxins in my body and cut inches away that I have been trying to do for some time now. When I showed up I got so many complements. Feeling amazing made me look that much better as well. Getting me to look like this jump started my weight loss goal. I have been eating healthy and working out a lot more now. I would suggest a body wrap to anyone!

Get Rid Of Pit Stains

 I know this does seem a little weird to be sharing, but how much is this a frequent problem for everyone? My boyfriend gets horrible pit stains on his white tee's. Usually he will walk around wearing them underneath his regular shirts, but lets get serious that is disgusting. So I always end up buying his white tee's more often than mine. I found this nifty trick and now he doesn't have to walk around in his gross t-shirts and I can wait to buy his new shirts till it is time to buy mine! So next time your about to pour straight bleach on a white shirt, instead mix one part dawn soap with two parts hydrogen peroxide and baking soda. Scrub them thoroughly and let stand for an hour. Than continue your regular washing routine and they should be as good as new.
