Do It Yourself Dry Cleaning

If you have a piece of clothing that must be dry cleaned and it is made of polyester, rayon, or cotton then I have the solution for you!!!! Take an old pillow case and cut little slits into it or use a mesh laundry bag. Place your item in the bag (i.e. Blazer). Tie a knot at the top of the bag so the item doesn’t fall out. Place the bag into the washer on the most gentle cycle. Add a little bit of laundry detergent and make sure the water is cold.

Once the wash is complete take the item out of the bag. Lay a towel on the floor and place the item flat out on towel. Add another towel on top of the item and roll both towels up soaking up any water that is remaining. Now hang the item up to dry. DO NOT PLACE IN DRYER. This is such an inexpensive way to clean your delicate clothing. Please bring silk items to a dry cleaner.

 

Lidcare as an Eye Makeup Remover

I have extremely sensitive eyes so I am very careful with the eye makeup remover that I use. Back in my early 20’s I worked for an Optometrist. He always sold so many boxes of “Lidcare”. Technically, this is used for people with blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelid). But then I learned that it was a fantastic product for eye makeup removal. You can buy this in a bottle or wipes. I prefer to buy the moistened wipes. Make sure to squeeze the individual package a few times before opening the wipe. This will activate the solution. No more scrubbing your eyes. This takes makeup off easily. You can also use the wipe as a facecloth afterwards by rinsing it under water.

Find this at most grocery stores and pharmacies. Shoppers Drug Mart, Walmart, Superstore

How To Get Beach Hair

If your hair is anything like mine, it is pin straight and hard to scrunch. I tried Bumble & Bumble Sea Salt spray and that did nothing for my hair type. On a recent trip to Cabo San Lucas I was using my spray sunscreen on my face. I accidentally sprayed some in my hair and it was the best accident ever!! Spray sunscreen is an excellent tool for getting that wavy, scrunched look. When your hair is almost dry (works best when damp) spray the sunscreen throughout your entire hair and scrunch with your hands. Bam!! Instant awesomeness!! #youarewelcome
