cotton ball, dip it in a natural oil you have lying around the house. Vitamin E, coconut oil or olive oil work best and are great for your skin.
Next, place the cotton ball on your eyelid for 5 seconds, then gently remove the mascara! Not only are you removing makeup, you are also adding products that will improve the condition of your eyelashes and skin.
No nail polish remover?
Simply put another heavy coat of nail polish over your old nail polish.
Wait a few seconds and take a tissue to remove it. You may have to do this several times, but eventually, you will remove the nail polish. Works like a charm!
Mosquitoes and flying bugs just won’t leave you alone!
That’s because our melanin is just so sweet! Create your own insect repellent with lavender oil. Mosquitoes and all their crawling and flying friends absolutely despise it!
Take three tablespoons of lavender oil and add it to a spray bottle with one cup of water. Shake and that’s it. You can spray your plants, your window seal, your doors and your clothes.
Pro Tip: To prevent flying creatures from breeding, get rid of standing water and put food trash in a sealed plastic bag before you put it in your in-home trash can.
They won’t be able to smell the food or gravitate toward the moisture. Also, use lemon to create a fresh scent in your kitchen. Insects hate the smell of clean and will likely pop up less and less.
