Simple and Homemade

So because of tight budget and unwillingness to go to Target or make a product order, I've been really into making my own homemade face wash/ exfoliates/ healthy hair products...But with things I have in my own pantry. I like the idea of there being just a few ingredients, but ingredients I already have. I'm sure you have all heard of taking things like egg whites and putting them in you hair because it is said to make your hair shine and more healthy. (If you haven't, just keep reading and I know it sounds weird-->gross and maybe a little cray cray but hear me out) So I have a couple of recipes I'd like to share because I am currently trying each one of them out..at this very moment I have the baking soda/ water mixture on my face right now. 

This is the first recipe (which is so simple):::

Exfoliating Face Mask

2 Tbsp Baking Soda

2 Tsp. Water

and that's it! Mix it together in a little bowl until it is a nice thick paste, add more paste or water if you think you need more to cover all of your face. I would recommend starting with a clean face and hands. Cover all of your face in a gentle circular motion and leave it on for about 10-15 minutes and rinse away. After I usually just put a little moisturizer on my face and your done!

So this 2nd recipe I found where? None other than Pinterest (no surprise there, pretty sure these recipes are all over Pinterest) And I wouldn't be surprised if you've already seen or heard of this recipe either but here it is::

Teeth Whitener

Tooth paste

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. peroxide

 Put a tiny bit of toothpaste into a small cup, mix in one teaspoon baking soda plus one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide, and half a teaspoon water. Thoroughly mix then brush your teeth for two minutes. Remember to do it once a week until you have reached the results you want. Once your teeth are good and white, limit yourself to using the whitening treatment once every month or two.

Let's talk Coconut Oil:: this can be used in so many different ways but the two ways I use it is::

Eye Makeup remover (+plus side makes your eyelashes grow longer and healthier)

Hair conditioning treatment

I mainly use it as a deep conditioner/ hair conditioner treatment ^^ :: 

I massage a couple tablespoons of coconut oil into my hair and (if I don't have anything very important the next day) I leave the oil in my hair overnight. If you can't do overnight? I massage in the oil and wrap my head in a warm towel for a couple of hours. Then I shampoo and my hair feels silky smooth.

This is the infamous Egg Yolk treatment (yes. you can officially call me crazy. but as of being home I have a little bit more time on my hands)

I first heard of doing this from one of my friends in like the 7th grade, no joke it was a long time ago, I thought she was crazy and it just sounded gross. And here I am years later telling you all that I am indeed making it a goal to do this often. Long hair here I come.(Desperate? Maybe a little.) so here's the recipe::

 

Simply mix 2 egg yolks with 2 Tbsp of olive oil, dilute the mixture by adding a cup of water and then slowly and thoroughly massage this mixture into your scalp. Give it about 15- 20 minutes to absorb all the nutrients and then rinse off.
