My Pinterest Summer: Project # 8, 9, 10, & 11

I figured I'd cluster these four together because they are all in the same category of 'beauty'. 
Sadly, I do not have any pictures to go along with these projects, however, they are all extremely handy!

So here we go!

My eighth Pinterest project:

Soft Feet!

Here's what you need:
-Epsom Salt
-Apple Cider Vinegar
-Water
-Four-in-one foot paddle or pumice stone
-A bucket/bowl big enough for both feet

Here's what you do:
-Fill bucket with warm water
-Add 1 cup epsom salt (let it dissolve before putting feet in)
-Add 1 cup apple cider vinegar
-Let feet soak for 15 minutes
-Rinse feet
-Scrub feet with the foot paddle or pumice stone


I did this one night after a long day and it was not only nice and relaxing, but it also made my feet feel so soft! Once I finished this process, I took it a step further and lathered my feet with some Aveeno lotion and put on some socks to make my feet extra soft!

My ninth Pinterest project:

Dry Nail Polish Quick and Easy!

Here's what you need:
-Nail polish of your choice (the prettier the better!)
-A bowl
-Water

Here's what you do:
-Paint your nails to perfection!
-Fill bowl with cold water
-Immerse wet nails in cold water for a few minutes
-Remove hands, enjoy your dry nails


This little trick works so well! I use this almost every time I paint my nails. I was skeptical at first, but decided to give it a try and was happy to see that it dried my nails pretty well! I would suggest giving your a nails a minute after removing them from the water to fully finish the drying process.

My tenth Pinterest project:

Make Your Mascara Last Longer!

Here's what you need:
-Your old, dry mascara
-Saline solution or eye drops

Here's what you do:
-Put a few drops of the saline solution or eye drops in your dry mascara
-Insert your mascara wand and stir
-Put some mascara on those beautiful lashes!


I did this with one of my mascaras a while back when I noticed it drying out and it seemed to work for a little bit longer!

My eleventh Pinterest project:

Pearly Whites

Here's what you need:
-Toothpaste
-Baking soda
-Toothbrush
-Water
-Bowl

Here's what you do:
-Combine some toothpaste, baking soda, and water in a bowl
-Mix it up
-Brush your teeth with it once a week
-Enjoy your pearly whites


I made this and am currently doing it once a week. I have noticed that my teeth appear to be whiter. I will be honest, it tastes kind of funky (it's a bit salty), but it's not too bad. I prefer using this instead of whitening paste or strips, cheaper and more natural!

Well, there you have it! A few beauty tips and tricks, thanks to Pinterest, to keep you looking your best!
