Funky Polka Dot Nails



These nails are super cute and fun to do. Not to mention very easy. And you can change the colors as well. Try it!
What you'll need:

  • Pale pink polish
  • Dark pink polish
  • White polish
  • Dotting tool
  • Top coat
  1. Start off by painting all of your nails a pale pink. I used Essie's Eternal Optimist. 
  2. Using a dotting tool, make one row of white dots along the side of each finger. I used Sally Hansen's White On.
  3. Then, make one row of dark pink dots next to the other. I used Sephora by OPI's It's Somewhere in My Purse.
  4. On the fourth finger, continue making rows of dots, alternating colors. 
  5. Apply a top coat and you're done!
Have fun and thanks for reading! <3 Jazz

What can I make out of my fabric scraps?

So you have all this old fabric, bits and pieces, odds and ends. And you say i don't want to throw this away, what do i do with it? Make little plushies! Like these! (left and right) One is a mushroom and the other is Peppermint Butler from Adventure Time, my favorite character! You can give them as presents, or make them for school projects, you name it!
Thanx for Reading! <3 El

Lemon and Sugar Face Scrub

Lemon and Sugar Face Scrub
This is a fresh and summery scrub, I use it very often. May I say i don't get very many blemishes, maybe this is the cause?


  1.  Grab a medium sized bowl and pour 1/2 a cup of bakers sugar into the bowl
  2. Take about a table spoon and a 1/2 of honey a drizzle it into the sugar
  3. Stir well
  4. When stirred, add the juice of half a lemon
  5. Stir well 
  6. Spread evenly around face 
  7. Gently scrub your face with a warm wash cloth
  8. Finally, rinse your face!
You might be wondering, "What  are these things doing to my face?"
Well, honey contains potassium, and bacteria cannot survive in it, so it rids your face of all bacteria. Honey is also an antti-irritant, it is used in sunscreen because some of the chemicals are irritating to the skin. Lemon juice helps get rid of blemishes because it is so acidic (don't use too much, you might burn your face!). And lastly sugar makes for good scrubbing!

I hope your face feels fresh and clean after this!
