So, one of my girlfriends started selling these wrap things. She asked me to host an online party. And since I love her, I agreed. Even if I was hesitant...
It ended up being a lot of fun. There were games, people participated, and I got to introduce some girls to a product they now love.
These things are pretty cool. It's not messy like nail polish and fairly easy to apply once you get the hang of it.
My only complaint? I'm bad at the whole filing off the excess bit so sometimes, the ends will start to peel up. Just apply heat and pressure and it will usually fix itself.
So I have some things that help without having to take drugs for it (because all that stuff does is make you sleepy and that's not fun on a roller coaster).
First of all. Sea-bands, you can get these babies at a gas station. Just follow the direction on the box, wear them while doing your sick-inducing activity and love that they take the edge off or stop it all together. (I know a guy who bought these for his pregnant wife and said that it did wonders for her morning sickness).
And of course, your natural goods. Essential oils.
You can either sniff the aroma directly, rub the oil on the bottoms of your feet, or put a drop or two on a cotton ball and keep it around to help.
Also, something I didn't mention in the video -- CAFFEINE! I get sick I go get a coke. That stuff is magic! Seriously. I went on spinning rides at a theme park (those actually DO make me sick) and it helped a lot!
Here is the list of recommended essential oils from most effective to least effective:
I love shopping, but I love getting bargain items even more!
Here are some of the cool items I found at the 99 cent store.
Just goes to show you don't have to spend a ton of money or even go far for some pretty cool and useful things.
$1. I love to cosplay and I needed a brown belt. Who woulda thunk that I'd find the perfect item for 99 cents at the 99 Cent Store?! Though not a high quality item, it serves it purpose and looks the part.
$2. Scissors. Though these don't say they're fabric scissors, they were in the "sewing section" of the store. Yes! The 99 cent store has that sort of thing. Most of it is safety pins and little on the go sewing kits, but it's no less awesome. And hey! They cut through all the fabrics I had to test em out on. Pretty good huh?
(I found this priced for $6.95 on Amazon).
$3. Super Dry clear nail polish. I picked this up just because I needed some clear nail polish to set my colored stuff. I didn't really know what super dry meant, and I didn't read the label because...who's got time for that? (I had my mom waiting for me outside the store so not me). Upon testing it out on a naked nail, I found that this stuff does dry super fast! Almost instantly in fact...until I tried it over wet colored nail polish. This stuff said that it would help dry wet nail polish in 60 seconds or less. Well, if you watch the video, you'll find that though this isn't exactly true, it does help speed up the drying process. I'd just give it more than 60 seconds. Most of the video is me trying to figure this dang thing out.
(I found this priced for around $3 on the internet).
$4. Nose strips. I love Biore's stuff, but sometimes, all you got is a dollar. These do a pretty decent job. And for a dollar, you get three. Not bad.
(These can come in bulk on amazon: 24 for $23.99 and various offers).
$5. Collagen mask. I kind of love this thing, and who would have thought you could get it at the 99 Cent Store?! It comes off leaving your skin brighter, softer, and just looking dang good. It comes with two and is totally worth the buck.
(On Amazon the listed price is $13.98 and marked down for $6.99).
So those were my five bucks. But I've shopped at the 99 Cent Store before, so as a bonus I show you two lip glosses I got from there and use. Watch the video and you can be the judge if they're worth it or not!
Of course we do. There are obvious ways to prevent yellowing of teeth (avoid dark sodas, coffee, smoking etc.) but what about teeth that are already yellow or just not as bright as we would like them to be.
Here is an inexpensive way to give your teeth a boost.
Activated charcoal!
How To:
Break open a capsule.
Put half a capsules worth of powder onto your toothbrush.
Brush your teeth with the charcoal for 5 mins.
Wash and rinse.
The more often you do this the whiter your teeth can become!
