This is my all-time favorite DIY cleaning recipe! You can make it in about a minute and completely customize your scent or leave it unscented. Citrus or floral scents are fun for spring and summer, while spice and pine tree oils are cozy for winter....
Even though the surface area of our eyelids is small, its skin is extremely thin and delicate. This results in our eyelids absorbing even more of what's put on them than other parts of our bodies. Both good and bad stuff. Most eyeshadows are full of ...

👗 For most of my life, my only consideration when picking out new clothing was whether I liked the way a piece looked and fit. I had no idea that there are other important considerations -- even life and death situations -- to think about when sele...
Let’s be truthful… no one wants to stink! Most of us were taught to deal with underarm perspiration in one of two ways: Stop it from happening with an antiperspirant. Cover it with heavily scented, conventional deodorant. Neither of these is good for...
