DIY Tutorials

Hey there ladies! Here is post number one for the DIY tutorials for the Modest Fashion Challenge that Sadie Abigail and I are hosting.
Pinterest is a wonderful place to find awesome tutorials. 
For this first day I thought I'd share some fun facials and natural beauty tips. The following two tutorials were found here, and here.

LEMON HONEY MASK
» Why It Works: Lemon’s citric acid closes pores and keeps skin’s PH levels in check, while honey’s enzymes and nutrients add an antibacterial factor to zap zits and moisturize.
» You’ve been warned: There’s a serious sticky factor, so make sure your hair is tightly pulled back.
» What You’ll Need:
- 1 tbsp organic honey
- 1 fresh lemon
» What To Do: Squeeze the juice from the lemon and remove any seeds. Mix in honey and apply to damp face. Massage into skin for several minutes, then rinse with warm water.

BAKING SODA BLACKHEAD REMOVER
» Why It Works: This gentle, quick facial uses baking soda’s acid-neutralizing alkalinity and milk’s lactic acid to clear out pores and lightly exfoliate.
» You’ve Been Warned: After years of store-bought lotions and potions, this seemed almost too simple to work — but it did.
» You’ll Need:
- 1 tbsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup milk
» What to Do: Mix all the ingredients together. Rub into blackhead-prone areas using a soft makeup sponge. Rinse and repeat if needed.

I also found this neat tip from Natural Secrets for Beautiful Nails

Do you have bad nails and want a natural way to improve them?  Here's a simple solution for you!  Soak your nails in olive oil for a few minutes every week. The olive oil will soften your cuticles and moisturize your nails without making them weak.  It also prevents “hang nails” caused by dry skin.
