Simple Beauty Tips

Over the years I have come across and searched for a number of beauty tips. Not just any beauty tips but ones that I could do at home with materials that I would just have in my home already and wouldn't have to go out and buy. I've tried a lot of different beauty tips over the years but I have found these few to work the best.

For Whiter Teeth: Baking soda is an awesome natural teeth whitener and most people already have it lying around the house! All that you have to do is put a small pile on the palm of your hand, wet your tooth brush, dip it in the baking soda and scrub your teeth like usual. After about a week you should start to see a difference! Hydrogen Peroxide also helps in whitening teeth, but if you use this, just dip a  q-tip in the Hydrogen Peroxide and rub it on your teeth BUT be sure not to swallow any! Try one of these tips and you'll have a rad white smile in no time!

Natural Highlights: To get natural highlights in your hair in the summer time take some fresh lemon juice and rub it in the ends of your hair and sit out in the sun for a while (remember to protect your skin though!) and eventually you will notice your hair will start to lighten after a week or two of doing this almost everyday.

Smooth, Flawless Skin: This may seem absolutely disgusting but it works extremely well! Putting apple cider vinegar on a cotton pad and applying a small bit to your face and leaving it there for about 10 mins will make your skin flawless. Not right away though! It smells absolutely horrid when it is on your skin, it burns a bit and it makes your eyes water and your probably wondering why in the heck you would ever want to put it on your face or how I came to find out it works so well but it does. After a day, once my skin has settled, it looks refreshed, soft and clear. Although its gross the results are worth it, I recommend you try it!--it has to be apple cider vinegar though, no other kind!

Lighten Freckles: Lemon juice and apple cider vinegar both lighten the look of freckles. Lemon juice takes a bit longer to show results, but it definitely smells better.

Softer Ends: If you have "crispy" hair ends try putting a light, non-greasy face moisturizer on your hair before you go to bed a night. This way if it rubs on your face while you are sleeping it won't give you zits. Wash your hair in the morning and you'll notice your ends will feel a bit healthier.

Get Rid of Yellowed Nails: If you are an avid nail polish wearer like me, you may have experienced yellow nails. Yeah, I know, they're super embarrassing and gross but I have some tips to help! Make a mixture of lemon juice and baking soda and create a paste, so use more baking soda than lemon juice. It will fizz a bit but don't worry that will settle. Once the paste has been made put it on your bare nails and scrub it in a bit, leave it on your nails for about an hour then wash it off. Do this for about a week and you'll see the yellow go down. Sunlight also helps, so maybe sit in the sun for a while to expose them to some much needed Vitamin D.

Coconut Oil: Eating a spoon full of organic coconut oil a day is great for your hair and skin and overall well-being!

Clear Skin: Another remedy to get clear skin is real/organic maple syrup and crushed aspirin mixed together to make a mask. Yes, it's super sticky and a weird combo but the maple syrup is good for circulation and the aspirin gets rid of inflammation of the skin. It has to be aspirin though, no tylenol, no advil or anything like that, only ASA.


Hope you guys like all these beauty tips and that you try them out! If you do let me know what you think of them! 

Cheers!
