DIY Polka dot pants

Let's get started! 

1- Start off with solid colored pants

2- You will need fabric paint and you can either use a chapstick lid or a pencil eraser. 

3- I wanted bigger dots so I decided to use a chapstick lid. Dip the chapstick lid into white paint and ligthly press down into pants. You can re-dip if your polka dots don't turn out how you want on your first try.

4- Keep repeating this step, let paint dry ...

and they're ready to wear!

Happy Monday I hope you all had a great weekend! Here is an outfit that I put together on Saturday to go have Sushi and drinks with my love, sister, and her boyfriend. We had such a great time on Saturday, it's always nice to spend time with the family. I have been wanting to work on these DIY polka dot pants for a while and I finally had the chance to do it. I know they did not turn out perfect, but aren't they fun? I have so many ideas on other DIYs, I can't wait to show you guys. Hope you're all having a lovely day. 

DIY banana/avocado hair mask

Ingredients:

1 banana

1 half of an avocado

3 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

1. In a bowl smash the banana and avocado together and add the 3 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil. 

(The mixture is supposed to turn out looking very smooth and creamy. Make sure there are no chunks of banana and avocado in the mixture when you apply it to your hair.)

2. In the shower wash your hair with shampoo and instead of applying your regular conditioner apply the mask. 

3. Clip hair up and leave the mask on for at least 30 minutes. 

4. Rinse the mask off and conditioner hair with regular conditioner. 

My experience:

I decided to make my own hair mask the other day because I noticed that my hair was looking very dry. I smashed a banana and an avocado together added olive oil and applied it to my hair. I didn't make sure that the mixture was smooth and creamy first. I applied the mixture with chunks of banana and avocado. Well, when I attempted to wash the mask off I had trouble. So make sure to mix the ingredients together with an electric beater or even a blender. After I washed it off and let it dry I did notice that my hair looked a bit more shiny and healthy. 

Coffee body scrub

Happy Friday everyone! I know that I have already told you guys how much I love body scrubs! In my post I love Kiwi I mentioned that I had been using a body scrub by Tree Hut. Since I recently ran out I am now looking into making my own body scrub. After doing some research on DIY body scrubs I found a recipe that involves mixing coffee, sugar, and massage oil together!

Most body scrubs are expensive and that is why it is nice to be able to make your own body scrubs from ingredients in your own kitchen. Caffeine can actually help eliminate varicose veins and decrease cellulite formation. At the same time it tightens skin and stimulates circulation. 

The recipe: 

The recipe is very simple the three main ingredients are coffee grounds, sugar, and massage oil. You can also use baby oil, olive oil or vanilla extract instead of massage oil.

How to apply it:

Apply the scrub while in the shower.  Massage the scrub into your body in a circular motion. Leave on for about five minutes or as long as you would like and then rinse off.
