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 ...
Bug Off – Extra Tough
*Disclaimer: With the rise in Mosquito born illnesses I want to make it absolutely clear that this is MY experience with this recipe. This was written at a time when there was not as much threat. I have no studies that back up the effectiveness of oils in regards to repelling insects. You absolutely need to use your common sense when finding recipes online and talk to your health care practitioner before choosing how to proceed in protecting your family. Mosquito's love me. Really. Really love me. The feeling isn't mutual. Bites for me swell to almost quarter sized. So last summer I went looking for something that would help keep the creepy crawlers off of my skin. I found a great bug recipe that I have shared many times and you all have loved it as well so I hear. Fast forward to a trip we are taking this summer to Alaska--where the state bird is the mosquito. I can't risk letting them near me and while the old recipe works great for me at home I am Alaska sizing it this time just in case. Here is what I came up with: What You Will Need for Bug Off: 8 oz glass bottle (affiliate link). I like the trigger spray kind for this. Hint: do not store the plastic trigger ...
Ningxia Red Smoothie Recipe | Green Goodness with a Shot of Red
I recently bought a Vitamix and have been happily blending up my entire kitchen (maybe a slight exaggeration). I came up with a green smoothie recipe using Ningxia Red that I love and feel good about sharing with you all! Don't know what Ningxia Red is yet? NingXia Red® is a powerful antioxidant drink that contains whole Ningxia wolfberry puree—a super blend of blueberry, aronia, cherry, pomegranate, and plum juices, natural stevia extract, grape seed extract, pure vanilla extract, and orange, yuzu, lemon, and tangerine essential oils. You can learn more about it here. Ningxia Red Smoothie Ingredients: 1 whole orange peeled 1 small banana peeled 1 small handful washed spinach leaves 1 1/2 rings fresh pineapple 1 scoop unflavored protein powder (optional) 1 tablespoon chia seeds 1 shot glass Ningxia Red 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt 1 1/2 cups ice Ningxia Red Smoothie Directions: Throw everything in a Vitamix. Turn the preset button to Smoothie and hit on. That's it. If you don't have a Vitamix you will have to adjust for however your blender works--and PS save up for one. SO worth it. This will make approximately 3 16 oz servings. Looking for a discount ...
Panaway Whipped Body Butter
Old Man Winter is a jerk! The cold weather and the snow shoveling that comes with it makes my joints achy and stiff. I needed a way to warm up my bones this week and so I turned to one of my favorite essential oil blends, Panaway, for some help. According to the Young Living site "PanAway® was created by Gary Young following a severe injury to the ligaments in his leg. Containing wintergreen essential oil, which is often used for massage, PanAway is soothing to the skin while providing comforting warmth to muscles after exercise." I needed a way to really work it into my skin and so I decided to whip up one of these super quick and easy blog recipes for whipped body butter. Ha! What I discovered is that whipped body butter is not really quick or easy nor does it turn out like the pictures on pinterest. At least in my house. Maybe I did something very wrong but none of the recipes I tried worked out for me. They were all either too greasy or too hard. So I set out to come up with my Panaway DIY Recipe. I wasted a lot of ingredients and oils in the process but finally have something that works for me. Warning (or things I may have done that you shouldn't): Do NOT ...
