diy: bubblegum lip scrub.

I love diy's. I have always loved crafts. Now as a 'grown up' if I can find ways to make things myself and save money it's a win-win! I heard that LUSH had an amazing bubblegum lip scrub. And although I would like to call that a beauty essential I just couldn't justify it. So I created this recipe to subside my longing for bubblegum anything and a great lip exfoliate. 

I used Olive oil, sugar, food coloring and LorAnn bubblegum extract. 

My recipe is kind of like Rachel Ray's. I put in around 1/8 cup of sugar and then I added a slight amount of olive oil. I mixed it up really well. If it is too 'wet' then add more sugar. You want the sugar to stick together but not be saturated. I then added 1 single drop of pink food coloring. I would only use pink just because if it stains your lips it would be pink and not some nasty green color! I then added a little less then a cap full of LorAnn bubblegum extract. I ordered mine off of eBay since I couldn't find it here in Canada. I worked great!

I then filled my little jars, that I also ordered off of eBay. 

Ta Da! And done! They are so cute, smell GREAT! And really work! 

I just finished 3 uni finals yesterday and have a bit of a break before summer classes (x2). So I am hoping that this 'free' time will allow me some time to update the long awaited diy that I have planned! Jetting to Phoenix in the next couple of days so I hope as well that I find some great deals to share!

here's a show.

Here's a runway show I did! Then a photo shoot, amongst the runway show.

Exhausting. Heavy. And COMPLETELY worth it! I love modeling, more than school. That's not good.

 Oh well!

new year.

 

Happy New Year! It was a great New Year/Holiday season that seemed to just fly by! Filled with many laughs and tonnes of great food. I am back to the books and the workout regime hoping that the season didn't sway my eating habits too badly. Chips and dip at 11:30 last night? No biggie! 

I hope everyone had a great holiday season! I had ordered a dress from asos and it came, fit like a glove and I couldn't wait to wear it for new years. Here a few pictures of the night!

christmas baking.

so Christmas is SOON! Who knew? Crazy. And it will be crazy until the 23rd of December seeing as I am writing finals until the 22nd. Fun. 

Anyways! Every Uni student is complaining but in reality it's a small fraction of what I would do for a solid career (and income). So in the mean time, you know when I should be studying or writing this final ancient Greece essay I figure, hey why do I tempt myself with all these amazing baking ideas, that I can use for Christmas. 

Needless to say, my mind is elsewhere. 

Rainbow Cake

I'm thinking red and green m&m's for Christmas!

Angel Food French Toast

I'm thinking Christmas morning! Yum!

Flaming Strawberry Cupcakes

Ok. Now. These. ARE UNREAL! Come on, such a simple idea that is sure to blow your guests away!

Happy Holiday [Baking]!
