Cloud nail art

For today we have another pair of nail art, which is: clouds.

This type of nail art is really fast and easy to do, so therefore: here you go!

You’ll need:

A dotting tool
Blue nail polish
White nail polish

Start painting all your nails blue

Now take your dotting tool and put some white dots after eachother in a pattern that makes them look like clouds. I usually take some nail polish out of the container and on a piece of paper to better use it with the dotting tool

There you go!

I hope you all have a happy life, one day at a time!

Cat nails

For today we will be cute. For today we will make cat nail art!

You’ll need:

A dotting tool- to make paws
A base color (mine is kind of nude- Loreal number 855 called oyster bay)
A black nail polish (mine is with a small brush to draw the lines- if you don’t have one, you’ll have to use something like a small brush to draw with)

Start painting your nails in your base color- I know my fingers are blue, that’s from another nail art idea 😉

Use your brush to draw cats with the black polish- I made one fat and one with pointy ears just to make them different. I used the dotting tool for the nose and eyes.

Use your dotting tool to make paw like prints on the rest of the fingers

Voila!

You are now pawlicious

I hope you all have a happy life, one day at a time! ❤

Deadpool nail art

Who doesn’t love a superhero? Today we will make another pair of nerdy nails with one uhm… pretty special superhero. Deadpool, that is.

I’ve seen both the movies and they are so unique I could not miss to make Deadpool nail art

You’ll need:

Black nail polish
Red nail polish
White nail polish
Dotting tool

Start painting the town red- well at least your nails

Now make some fancy Deadpool stripes on all fingers beside one- that one will be the mask- then take the chosen finger and paint on two diamond shapes for his mask with the dotting tool or the pen from the black polish

Please give him some eyes too – just two dots would be fine

And that’s all! Now you are ready to take over the world AND look good while doing it!

PS: I know I missed my thumb, but it’s just like the three other fingers with stripes 🙂

I hope you all have a happy life, one day at a time ❤

Pokemon nails

I absolutely adore pokemon and right now especially Pokemon GO (yes yes that might be a little geeky, but that’s just how I am)

So today, we’ll get a little nerdy with some quirky nails!

You’ll need

Red nail polish
Black nail polish
White nail polish
Top coat
Dotting tool

First paint your nail red, make sure the nail polish is dry before applying more nail polish.

Afterwards paint about half the nail white- don’t worry about being messy, you can just clean it up afterwards with a cotton swab

Paint a black stripe in the middle of the nail

Use the dotting tool to make a black dot in the middle of the black stripe

Now use the dotting tool to make a smaller dot in white, inside the black dot

Finish with a top coat

That’s easy, huh? 😉

I hope you all have a happy life, one day at a time ❤

Homemade lip scrub

Ever feel like your lips need a little love and tenderness? Well you can give them some, and it’s cheap and incredible easy 😊

I gathered 5 different homemade recipes for lip scrubs, and they are all ready for you to choose from.
All five recipes are great for exfoliating and creating blood flow in your lips. Just take a little from the jar and rub it on your lips, then wash it off with warm water.
Which one you want to make is entirely up to you.
They can last up to 3 weeks stored in a cool and dry place, out of direct sunlight 😊

Chocolate lip scrub

3 tablespoons cane sugar
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon vanilla aroma
½ teaspoon of honey

Just mix it all together in a small bowl and put it in a small container.

Lip scrub with cinnamon

2 tablespoons of brown sugar ( I know I also put cane sugar on the picture- that’s my bad)
½ tablespoon olive oil
½ tablespoon honey
½ tablespoon cinnamon powder

Combine all in a small bowl and put in a small container.

Honey lip scrub

½ tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons cane sugar
½ tablespoon olive oil

Mix everything and put it in a small container

Mint flavored lip scrub

1 tablespoon of petroleum jelly
3 tablespoons of cane sugar
1-2 centimeters of a scented and flavored lip balm (mine was mint, but you can use any kind you want)

Just put everything in a small bowl and mix them, then put it in a small container

Lip scrub with licorice

3 tablespoons cane sugar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon of licorice essence

Mix all together in a small bowl, and put it in a small container

For all of these recipes. If you don’t feel like using brown sugar but instead regular white sugar, just do it. Both the sugar and the oil can be replaced with another kind of sugar or oil.
Beside this, if you want the honey to be easier to work with (if you have a firm honey) just heat it for a few seconds in your microwave 🙂

I hope you all have a happy life, one day at a time! ❤

Why you should start peeling or dry brushing

Peeling is a very popular spa treatment that has a lot of benefits for the body.
I myself love peeling, and I do it around once a week with a sugar scrub from Green People (it’s the one in the picture, taking directly from their website) and it feels amazing while also hydrating and softening my skin.

First of all, a normal peeling is a little wet since it is often mixed with either water or oil. It’s done with sand, sugar, salt or the alike, to get the dead skin cells of the skin. After peeling with this kind of peeling, you need to wash the rest of the products off, so it might get a little messy. I recommend doing it in the shower.

Second, a dry brushing is done with a glove or brush with a rough surface to brush the dead skin cells of the skin. To get the best outcome, you should always brush your body towards your heart. This might be better for you if it is your first time or if you don’t want to do so much work, since this type isn’t sticky. It is easy and fast, doesn’t need water and is good if you have allergies for products.

Before I tell you the benefits of these, there are some precautions to take.
Even though it is not deadly (I’m sorry it sounds so dramatic, but it CAN be dangerous), I would strongly recommend you do not peel or dry brush without taking precautions when you:

Have allergies for the products used
Have skin cancer
Have extreme psoriasis or eczema
Have Phlebitis
Are sunburned
Waxed within 24 hours
Are pregnant in your first three months

Now to the fun part! Why YOU should start either peeling or dry brushing:

It removes dead skin cells
It strengthens the cell renewal by stimulating the lymph and your body circuits
It softens the skin
It Improves the skins complexion
It can seem calming
It relaxes the muscles
It calms the nerve endings
It detoxifies the body

All in all, I feel more alive after peeling, and it helps me feel calm and refreshed.

Now. Have you ever tried peeling and dry brushing and why do you do it?? 😊

I hope you all have a happy life, one day at a time!
