DIY Thursday: Brown sugar & vanilla sugar scrub

 This year for Christmas I ended up giving my sister in law and one of my sisters this sugar scrub. Sugar scrubs are really easy to make and you can make some really yummy smelling ones. Homemade scrubs work just as well as store bought ones at making skin super soft. Sugar scrubs work great on heels, elbows, anywhere you want to soften your skin. This particular scrub only needs 3 ingredients: sugar, coconut oil and vanilla. Simple enough right? I had fun making this and it really does leave your skin nice and soft. I'm excited to experiment, try new scrubs, and share with you.

Vanilla Brown Sugar Scrub:
 1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1-2 tsp vanilla

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and add more brown sugar if needed. Put in a jar/container and wrap with ribbon or whatever else you may like.

*Tip-You can save containers and reuse them instead of buying new ones by just removing the labels off of them*

Munchkin Monday: Kids wavy hair

You see all the cute hair styles out there and they look like they take forever to do.

This was way easy and looked cute.

After washing her hair and getting ready for bed, I braided it in 8 different braids.

When we took them out in the morning it was all wavy. 

We put a bow and we were done.

 She loves it! Child approved and we will be doing it again.

Munchin Monday: Play make up

My 2 year old loves to watch me put on my make-up and always has to have some on. 

I have been collecting my empty make-up containers so I can make some for her to use.

Step one: empty out all the make-up, clean and dry well

Step 2: decide what colors you want your make-up to be(I just used what nail polish I already had) Dump enough nail polish in each container that is covers the bottom.

Step 3: What little girl doesn't like sparkles, so I sprinkled some sparkle on top. Let dry over night. Mine way really strong smelling so I put it outside or use the garage.

Step 4: get some brushes and let the PLAYING begin

 I even saved some empty lip gloss so she could have a complete set of make up. 

She had played with them for hours and LOVES them!

Wild card Wednesday: Sock bun curls

Sock bun curls

I keep seeing all these soft curls on Pinterest so I thought that I would start trying them and see how they work. You will need a sock and cut off the toe. Put your hair in a high pony tail and get it damp. Take the sock and  you will roll it up in your hair and sleep in it and in the morning it should look something like this.

This is the video that I watched and It is so much easier to watch that then to explain it.

 This is me and our little girl. We are exited for her to come. She might already be here by the time this post goes up. Just thought I would share my last pregnancy picture with you.
Hope you enjoy your sock curls.
