DIY Sugar Scrub

What can you make with granulated white sugar and Dawn dish soap with Olay Hand Renewal???

                                                    The simplest sugar hand scrub ever!

                                       Step 1:
                                       Fill your container about 3/4 full with sugar.

                                       Step 2:
                                       Fill it the rest of the way with Dawn/ Olay Hand Renewal.

                                       Step 3:
                                       Stir together until it has a thick, icing -like consistency.
                                            (Make sure that the sugar isn't fully dissolved)

 I know this isn't the greenest recipe (I'm working on making some of those!), but it is super simple and works so well!

                              I made this for Mother's Day for my mom as she has super dry cracked hands!

Update: She has been using this scrub for over a month now and said that her hands are no longer cracking  and that they are much more moisturized now!


                             

Cheap, DIY Jewelry organizer

I have an issue with taking my jewelry off in random places and losing it! I will take earrings off by my nightstand, bracelets off in the bathroom before I take a shower, etc. So after seeing several different versions online, I decided to make a jewelry organizer to keep on my dresser.

This is the end result- It is largely empty still because most of my jewelry was stolen! I decided to hang my most used necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings on it. I've seen some that were just earrings though.

                                                               To make this, I used:

                                                   
                                        *Foam board

                                     *Decorative tape- I used a decorative clear tape, but you can use the printed duct tapes as well.

                                      *Tacks

 I used the tacks to make holes for the studs and to hang the hook style earrings as well as the necklaces and bracelets.

To hold all of the earring backs, I just used one of my Juicy boxes- You can make a little earring back holder on the actual foam board, but I just found this way to be easier :)
