How To Make a DIY Glass Spray Bottle
Have you heard that when using citrus essential oils in any recipe (like Bug Off - Extra Tough) that you need to use a glass spray bottle instead of plastic? It's true. Citrus essential oils leach chemicals out of plastic! If you already knew this you may have gone searching on Amazon or your local store for a glass spray bottle only to find that they are kinda crazy expensive! Stop the madness and make your own DIY glass spray bottle with what you have in the house. How To Make a DIY Glass Spray Bottle Clean any glass bottle that originally contained a natural ingredient (white vinegar, Bragg's vinegar, Perrier) with a narrow screw top opening and clean and dry it thoroughly. KEEP CAP! Fit with a clean and dry plastic spray trigger. The bottles above fit spray triggers I had in the house from other cleaners/projects. If you don't have any you can (affiliate link) buy spray triggers from Amazon here. Do NOT store the plastic trigger spray in the bottle. Cap it off with the original lid so that your spray trigger is not sitting in essential oil mixture leaching chemicals for long periods of time. Remove the original label with a little bit of Lemon Essential Oil (Young ...
Easiest Way to Remove Jamberry Nails
I love Jamberry Nail stickers. I don't sell them or anything....they are just a ton of fun to use as accents to a manicure or pedicure. I usually wear them over gel nails and they honestly only last maybe 5 days on me this way so I needed to figure out the easiest way to remove Jamberry nails without ruining my manicure underneath. This also works just as well on natural nails. Easiest Way to Remove Jamberry Nails-Step 1: Take an orange stick and gently lift the sticker around the outer edges...its usually peeling up there for me anyway when I am ready to remove. Easiest Way to Remove Jamberry Nails-Step 2: Drop a very small amount (like half a drop) of Lemon Oil under the lifted area. Lemon Oil comes in the Young Living Premium Starter Kit which is a great value (hint: I also have a coupon code there to save you $25). Easiest Way to Remove Jamberry Nails-Step 3: Let the oil sit about 30 seconds on the nail. Slide nail off and rub with a paper towel to remove any excess oil and adhesive residue. Voila! That's it. No damage. Super quick and easy way to remove those cute little nails! Disclosure: I don't sell Jamberry but I linked you to the person who ...
