DIY COCONUT + ROSE BODY SCRUB Few things smell better than coconut and rose so let’s combine them, shall we? In this Kitchen Beautician DIY, we’re making a “Spring Time Scrub” to help you exfoliate and get your skin super soft for the coming summer months. Bathing suit season is just around the corner and nobody wants to be the ashy girl! Here’s my new favorite way to get rid of dry skin caused by winter dryness: You’ll need: a mason jar, coconut oil, raw cane sugar, almond or jojoba oil and one fragrant rose (here I used sterling silver roses because they’re my favorite AND they’re one of the most fragrant roses ever.) Use a small mason jar or any clear jar with a lid. When you (or the person you’re giving this to as a gift) are ready to use it, take a spoon and mash it all up. NOTE: all measurements are subject to the size of your jar. Related posts:
DIY - Paperikuusi / Paper tree Tulosta oma kuusen kaava tästä: Print your own Paper Lace Tree -template here: Mini eco I Don't Know How She Does It NAILED IT! photos/post/design: Kristin Ess (wood floor insert photo from remodelista.com) You gotta love those magical moments when you’re just minding your own bizz and inspiration jumps out and smacks you right between the eyes. Not long ago I was looking through floor patterns for a home project. NOTE: Before you start, use one of your polish colors as a base for your nails about an hour before (or the night before) so they have plenty of time to dry before you apply the nail strips! Take a section of nail strips from the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails French Manicure kit and cut them in half long ways.
Christmas pixel popup cards Firstly I just wanted to say a Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers. Hope you all have a wonderful time ^_^ I have had quite a few requests for Christmas pixel popup cards. There are three designs below if you fancy having a go at making some. I tried lots of designs out. Some were a complete disaster! Speaking of which I am going to hang lego trees up in our Christmas tree this year. Text based designs work really well too.

Sélection de tutos vidéos : fringues, chaussures & accessoires Pondu par Flo le 17 juillet 2012 Les tutos DIY ne se font pas uniquement en photos, parfois de fraîches blogueuses et professionnelles se lancent dans le tuto vidéo.
