beauty...on the cheap

I LOOOOOOVEEE Pinterest. Sure, I spend most of my time on the site convincing myself I have the domestic superpowers of Martha Stewart instead of admitting the fact that I get easily distracted and would probably NEVER finish that DIY earrings holder.

But I'm a step up from some of my friends. I have never set a toilet on fire (true story) nor I have burned the kitchen in the dormitory with easy mac (also true story...). In comparison, I'm a domestic genius!

But that's besides the point. So...favorite thing on Pinterest has to be the beauty pins. Which is how I happened upon the Real Simple website. Some of these aren't new to me (lemon in hair, sugar as a scrub) but some were super interesting, although I don't know if I could bring myself to slather my hand in cooking spray.

• Cooking Spray as Manicure Setter 
• Cornstarch as Makeup Setter

• Baking Soda added to Shampoo to remove product buildup in hair
• Baby Powder as Dry Shampoo
• Lemon juice as hair lightener (flashback to the 80s right?)

• Vaseline as Mascara/length enhancing shine by Petroleum Jelly
• Sugar as a Lip Scrub
