3D lashes? Yes please!!

Alright ladies I am sure that you are making big bucks with mascara and eye shadow let alone lip gloss.  My dear friend Stephanie Guzman is a make-up sales rep for a company for Yonique.   Stephanie also has a private Facebook page plus a make-up consultant at Yonique.  But let me tell you all, I am inspired by the 3 D mascara.  With all the pictures of mascara I am going to say,"Good bye"to Cover Girl or other mascara that you use on a daily basis.

So I am giving my friend Steph the opportunity to explain and give you make-up tips on what to do with your make-up. But please, if you would like to order from Stephanie, just inbox her your info from Yonique.

She will be the guest speaker on my blog so you and your friends can spread the word on the 3-D Lashes.

Until next time

Home made moon sand

The past summer week has come and gone.  But that does not mean that there isn't enough time to be creative with your kids, especially on rainy days.

About a year ago I needed a recipe for something for my preschooler's/kindergartners on a rainy day.  So 4 nights before I was teaching the class, I went on Pinterest to see what can make a 4 and 5 year old happy for more than 45 minutes.  If you have your own molds you can use those or any cookie cutter molds.  The sky is the limit, use your imagination.

So I typed in "Home made Moon Sand". On Pinterest there was many blogs that had recipes that just used baby oil and flour.
Yes friends, just 2 things that you really need to make moon sand: baby oil and flour.  The only thing I would suggest is combine baby oil with essential oil and flour.
If you are using your favorite essential  oil, make sure you use a drop or two until the fragrance is to your liking.

The only thing that I did was using 1 cup flour with a half cup of baby oil with a 1/2  teaspoon of essential oil.   
While mixing the baby oil with flour; add 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup flour until the mixture sticks together.  If the flour does not mix with the oil add more oil or flour.   Once the flour and oil holds together, the kids are ready to have fun.

If you have a play dough mat that you have laying around, let the kids have fun.  The "homemade moon dough" would last for months.  Please add different colors of food coloring to make your child's imagination take flight.

What other things can you make with flour and water or oil?

Till next time: Happy Crafting and use that imagination
