BEAUTY YOU CAN AFFORD!

E.L.F. COSMETICS

With lipstick or mascara costing close to $20.00 for department store lines, and about $8.00 for drug strore lines, looking good can really put a dent in your budget.

Thanks to E.L.F. or Eyes Lips Face you can get quality cosemtics at great prices. Their original line is $1.00 per item with the exception of kits, of course. They have a professional line and a mineral line both have items priced between $3.00-$5.00 an item.
$1.00 per item is not an introductory or special one time only price. $1.00 is the everyday regular price for their full sized products.
I have tried and use E.L.F products and have been very please with the products. The mineral line is as good as the pricey Infomercial brand.

At $1.00 an item, you can really have some fun.

HOMEMADE HAND SANITIZER

I have been neglecting this blog! Things have been a little hectic latey and I have found it too easy to say "I'll get a post up tomorrow". Well we all know how that turns out.

Anyway, since cold and flu season is here and the News has been reporting stories on Swine Flu (H1N1) and providing advice on common sense ways to avoid spreading disease.

One suggestion is to use hand sanitizer. This does not replace good old fashioned hand washing. Bacteria reside in the oily layer on our flesh and good old soap and water removes that layer, bateria and all. Hand sanitizer are used with not in place of hand washing. One last note hand sanitizers use alcohol (62%) to kill bacteria only. Virus's are a different "kettle of microbials".

.

Since the top bands of hand sanitizer use 62% acohol any Isopropyl Alcohol with 70%-99% will be good.

.

1 cup 70%-99% Isopropyl Alcohol

1/2 cup 100% Aloe Vera Gel

.

Empty 12 ounce hand sanitizer container

.

Mix together alcohol, aloe gel and using a funnel pour into empty had sanitizer container.
