DIY Spa Aromatherapy Shower Tablets


Taking a shower can be just as relaxing as taking a bath. Unfortunately you can't use bath bombs in your shower but I made some really great shower tablets that I like to call shower bombs! These tablets dissolve in the shower and release refreshing scents of lavender and eucalyptus. They help transform a blah and typical shower into a rejuvenating spa-like experience. Plus they're extremely simple and cheap to make! Read on to see how I made mine :)

Materials:
  • 1 cup Baking Soda
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 TBSP or more of dried flowers, herbs, tea leaves
  • 40- 60 drops essential oils

How To Make Fondant - Marshmallow Fondant Recipe



Fondant is a colorful way to dress up your baked goods. But sometimes I find that store bought baked goods have TOO MUCH fondant on them. Also, store bought fondant tastes like cardboard that's just colored. So I decided to make my own fondant for some baked treats I'm making for Valentine's Day.



Look at how pretty the colors for my fondant turned out! Making your own fondant also means you can make WHATEVER COLORS AND FLAVORS you want. You can mix different colors + flavors together too. 


 Ingredients:
  • 1 package of mini marshmallows
  • 2 lb bag of powdered sugar
  • food coloring (optional)
  • flavored extract, such as vanilla, almond, raspberry, coffee etc (optional)

The One Trick To Keep Your Jewelry From Fading


I LOVE to buy jewelry from Forever21 and H&M! But I find that they often fade because they're made of cheaper metals. Well I realized there's one thing I can do to keep my jewelry from fading or oxidizing. By spray painting a clear gloss coat over my jewelry I can protect it from moisture and my "silvers" and "golds" will never fade. Some people use clear nail polish to do this but I've found that the nail polish will peel off after a few weeks of wear.


Don't forget to tape off the gems! Spraying over the gems may cause them to lose their luster. Also, don't worry about chains becoming stiff after spray painting over them. They may be stiff at first but just roll the chain in your hand.
