TOOTHPASTE FOR PIMPLES?!

***THIS IS NOT A MEDICALLY PROVEN METHOD TO RELEIVE PIMPLES, IT ONLY SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED WELL TO CLEAR PIMPLES***
 
YOU WAKE UP AND YOU RUN OUT OF ACNE CREAM.. OR YOU'RE OUT IN THE WILDERNESS CAMPING AND YOU SEE THE FIRST SIGNS OF A PIMPLE. WHAT DO YOU DO?!
 
GRAB SOME TOOTHPASTE!
Sounds weird, right? But this quick-emergency-fix may work for you! Give it a try!
Not only is it shown to work, but it's also COST efficient!
 
 
HOW DOES IT WORK?!
Ingredients within toothpaste work to dry out the skin to reduce pimple size, redness, and notability.
 
Since it dries out the skin, you only want to use it as a SPOT treatment. Be
careful with where you place the toothpaste--some ingredients such as menthol (minty flavor) and flouride may irritate your skin if applied in excess.
 
TWO STEPS:
1) Place a small amount of toothpaste on your problem zit
2) Sleep!
 
 
This method is cost efficient, easy, and it requires no trip to your local Target! Grab some toothpaste you have laying around and have instant results! 

PUFFY EYES? TWO- 2 MINUTE FIXES!

EVER WAKE UP IN THE MORNING WITH PUFFY EYES?
If you're anything like me, this happens all the time...
and I usually have only a few minutes to fix it,
or I'll be late for school/ work.



Here are two 2-minute remedies that cost close to nothing,
all you need are spoons and tea-bags!
Chances are, you already have them lying around your kitchen.
Let's get started!
 
REMEDY#1: SPOONS
 
Step 1) Grab two spoons from your drawer
 
Step 2) Place them in your freezer for about a minute
 
Step 3) Remove them from the freezer and place both spoons on your eyelids/undereyes for 30 seconds to a minute
YOU'RE DONE!  
 
REMEDY #2: TEA!
Step 1) Take two tea-bags, and place them in some hot water
 
Step 2) After letting the tea soak in the warm water, you can place them on your eyes for a soothing minute or so
(enjoy some tea while you're at it!)
 
Step 3) If you don't want your tea-bags to be warm, place them in the freezer for a minute and place them on your eyes cold!
 
YOU'RE DONE
