DIY: Beauty Day

-
Today I made a few homemade, beauty themed type products. I made two sugar scrubs and I had some pumpkin left so I used the rest for a face mask. Caffeine is known to stimulate blood circulation. The pumpkin moisturizes and tightens your skin wonderfully! Don't forget to put these in airtight containers!




Mocha Spice Sugar Scrub
  • 1 cup sugar (any kind)
  • 1 tbsp ground coffee
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch of nutmeg
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil (or other light oil like grapeseed or jojoba)
Pumpkin Face Mask
  • 1 cup pumpkin
  • 2 to 3 tbsp ground almonds
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp milk
*Don't forget to refrigerate this because it has milk in it!
I soaked my almonds in water overnight before doing this so that they would be softer and easier to grind.
Leave the mask on for about 10-15 minutes, wash off with warm water and you will be glowing!
Pumpkin Body Scrub
  • 1/2 cup pureed pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • you can also add a small amount of powdered cinnamon, clove, or a few drops of vanilla

As you know I am on a spending ban. Before this spending ban started I ordered some Detour limited edition "Just Say Yes"- Zoella sunglasses online and they just came in on Friday so I was super excited to get my sunglasses since I haven't been shopping at all recently! They were only $35, which is awesome because normally I just end up losing or breaking sunglasses fairly quickly. I also wear them in my two most recent videos on YouTube so if you want to see me wearing them click here>>>>  http://www.youtube.com/user/HannahBananasLife Have you gotten your Zoella sunglasses? Comment below! If you have questions or suggestions you know where to leave them!:) Lots of love,  Hannah Connect With Me: Twitter  |  Facebook  |  Pinterest  |  Instagram  |  YouTube

**CHECK MY 2015 POST HERE  http://hannahgomezofficial.blogspot.com/2015/04/bridal-shower-dress-ideas-for-guests.html ** It's so difficult to find the right dress as a guest of a wedding. You'll be able to go about finding the perfect dress when you find out the time, location, weather, and style specifications (should be on invitation). If it is outdoors it's probably pretty casual. Be mindful of the fabric so that you don't look too formal. The invitation usually specifies what style is expected of the guests. If not, assume semi-formal so that you are safe. Don't ever dress to compete, after all, it is not your day. Please, don't wear something that looks like you are going to prom, or a club. The most important thing to remember, never wear white! Even though it is necessary to tone it down you can still look great. If you want to look like a million bucks but don't have much to spend, think about renting.

Fashion Pick of the Week: Polka Dot & Floral Peplum Top

-
Image
I know this post is late but I had to wait to find the perfect pick of the week. This week I picked a peplum top! It is different than the peplum tops I've seen before. This one is more casual and not so structured and dressy. Don't get me wrong, you could make this dressy but the structure of it allows for the top to be casual as well. This would be perfect to add to your back to school wardrobe if you're going to be back in school in the fall. I found this online at Forever 21 for $17.80. The direct link will be below the photos. Let me know if you're linking these type of posts. Just leave comments below:) What do you think about this top?
