DIY Cuticle Cream

Love this DIY recipe from Kym Douglas of the Hallmark Channel!



Ingredients for All-Natural Cuticle Cream

1 Tablespoon beeswax pellets
2 Tablespoons Almond oil
1 drop lavender essential oil
2 containers, at least 2 oz



Directions

1. Put beeswax, almond oil, and essential oil into a glass bowl.

2. Melt these ingredients together over a double boiler. Alternatively, you can cook for about 1:30 in the microwave, taking the mixture out and stirring it every 10 seconds. Stop once it is fully melted.

3. When fully melted, pour into a clean container. I used some old chapstick applicators (and a small funnel) so I could roll it on easily. This recipe filled about 3 chapstick containers.

4. Let it cool and harden completely then roll it onto your cuticles daily!

How to make nail polish stay on longer

After reading the article on one of my favorite blogs, All Women Stalk, I tried to remember the last time I actually went to a salon for a manicure.  It has been so long I don't remember . . . my frugality gets the best of me.  I'd rather spend the money on a good supply of nail polishes and manicure supplies.
