Life Hacks that Every Girl Should Know

Hello ladies! I haven't done a bonus post like this in a while so I thought, what the heck, and decided to do one for you guys. :) Here are 4 life hacks that every girl should know. ;)

1. How to Fix a Broken Compact 

Coming from a big family having my compacts of makeup broken is a very regular occurrence. :P Find this handy trick was literally a life saver. I have done this one or two times with a bronzer that was dropped (more like thrown across the room) by a sibling  and it worked! Not going to lie, I didn't expect it to work at all, but it did!  Talk about a very pleasant surprise. :P

Steps:

• Wrap broken compact with Saran wrap
• After you compact is securely wrapped smash it up some more. :O
• Add alcohol.  (I used an alcohol with a 10% concentration, and it worked. Not sure if it makes a difference or not. :P)
• Then I used a spoon to press the compact back together. after you do this, slowly smooth the surface over to make it look new.
• Next take a small brush and clean up the edges and you're done! :)

2.All Natural Teeth Whitener 

I don't know about you ladies, but during the summer there is nothing I like more than a nice white smile! Summer, we are all traveling, enjoying ourselves at the beach with friends and so on. So pictures are to be expected. And who wants a less than perfect smile for all those selfies we all know you are going to take?! ;) This easy-to-make whitener is a perfect solution. ;)

Ingredients:

• tooth paste
• tooth brush
• hydrogen peroxide
• baking soda
• medium sized cup
• water

Directions:

• Put a tiny bit of tooth paste into a cup and mix with one teaspoon of baking soda, one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide and half a teaspoon of water.
• Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together.
• Next put your toothbrush into the mixture and brush your teeth for about two minutes.
• Make sure to whiten your teeth once a week until your teeth reach your desired whiteness then limit yourself to using whitening treatment once or twice a month. Because whitening your teeth can slowly weaken your enamel. :)

3. All Natural Lip Exfoliator 

Along with having a vibrant white smile, why not have some healthy lips as well?  This scrub will make your lips silky soft! And not only is it SUPER easy to make it smells amazing as well.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 1/4 tablespoon of olive oil
• spoon
• plastic container

Directions:

• Mix your honey, brown sugar and olive oil in a plastic container until you have a light brown grainy consistency.
• Next apply the scrub to you lips using a toothbrush, spoon or you finger. 
• Leave your scrub on for about a minute and then wash off with warm water.

4. Whole Made Dry Shampoo 

We've all been there, we are about to leave for a specific event and our hair is a bit oily and we notice to late to have time to take a shower! You go to put on some of the dry shampoo you keep handy.......only to find out that you are all out! WHAT DO YOU DO?! :O Well here is a simple and super quick fix that is just as good as dry shampoo. (Not to mention that it is way cheaper. :P) 
Ingredients:

• baking soda
• hair dryer
• comb

Directions:

• Sprinkle a bit of baking soda into oily areas of your hair as a dry shampoo, if you don’t have time to wash with regular shampoo. Comb the baking soda through your hair gently to avoid clumps, and then blow-dry with cool air for several seconds.
