Beauty Secrets

Do you have baking soda and peroxide in your house? Do you normally use them in baking and first aid? I'm going to let you in on some beauty secrets that are inexpensive and effective. I think if you try these, you will find that they not only help you, but you will be surprised at how much money you save!

My first beauty tip is to use baking soda as a gentle exfoliator. I use baking soda on my face every other day. I mix a teaspoon in with my regular facewash, make a little paste with water, and scrub my face. I exfoliate for 2 minutes and rinse well. *I suggest using a toner afterwards because there might be some residue left from the baking soda.*

You will be amazed at
how soft your face feels! By using the baking soda regularly, it regulates the pH balance of your skin.

My next beauty tip is to whiten your teeth with peroxide! After you are done brushing your teeth, swish some peroxide in your mouth. Keep it in there for 5 minutes or so, and then spit it out.

The peroxide whitens your teeth and makes your gums healthy. Plus, it is a low dose of peroxide, so it is safe to do everyday.

What are your beauty secrets? Do you use household ingredients to make yourself beautiful? Have you used these before? Leave me a comment and tell me your household beauty secrets!!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer.

Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

Christmas/New Year's Recap

First, I just want to say that I have absolutely no pictures from Christmas. I'm terrible, I know. In my defense, I was sick all through Christmas and just wasn't feeling "it." I do however, have pictures of some of the gifts I received and New Year's. Christmas Eve dinner was hosted by my parents and I. We had lasagna, wedding soup, salad, bread, and Italian butter. I made a homemade alfredo sauce to go along with the lasagna. I also made the Italian butter, and attempted to make my homemade French bread. This year, the bread did not turn out. For dessert, I made white chocolate raspberry shooters. They were SO good! I will do a recipe on those when I make them again! After everything was cleaned up, we honestly just relaxed. I would have liked to have gone to Christmas Eve service at our church, but I was coughing, clearing my throat every 5 minutes, and blowing my nose every 10. I was a hot mess. My grandparents came back out to our house after church and w...
