caraknightley asked: So with the baking soda and warm water thing, you said you should mix it with your normal face wash, but could you just use that as a scrub itself?

Favorite drugstore products:
I am seriously the pickiest person ever when it comes to makeup and skin care products, I really lean more towards high end makeup and stuff but there are some drug store products that are WAY cheaper, and work just as well if not better in my opinion.
glycerin mixed with 75% water works as a very good overnight moisturizer for your face, you can get vegetable glycerin at whole foods for only a...

tunaturner asked: hey, Linnea, I just made that honey and sugar lip scrub and my lips feel absolutely incredible! :) I thought I'd ask though-I made a pretty decent sized batch and I was curious, should I refrigerate the leftover scrub for later (like, next week, not too much later) or should I just toss the ingredients and remake when I need it since it's pretty inexpensive to make?

Whether you are trying to grow your hair out from a bad haircut or just dying it too much so its fried as shet, these things will definitely help.
1.)- STOP dying your hair! This causes SO much breakage and damage. You should ONLY be dying your hair at home if you are going DARKER!...

Olive oil
OKAY so I watch a lot of beauty videos and when people make their DIY face masks and stuff they usually use extra virgin olive oil….
Personally, I hate olive oil more than anything. I feel like it doesn’t moisturize it just sits on top of your skin and makes your pores look HUGE. It doesn’t clog your pores because the molecules are too big to get into them and actually clog it,...

Teeth whitening / keeping teeth white

- Crest 3D White professional effects advanced seal (these are the best,...

Chocolate body mask

After combining the yogurt and the cocoa powder, mix until it is all smooth and looks like this:
This is SUPER easy and...

Vanilla orange sugar scrub
What you’ll need:
-3/4 cups sugar (I suggest organic sugar if you are going to be using it on your face, but if you are just going to be using it on your body or as a lip, scrub don’t worry about it!)
-1/2 of an orange
-1/2 tsp of a good vanilla extract (one that doesn’t smell too alcohol-y / mexican vanilla extract is my favorite for the smell)
You can also totally skip out...
