How to Remove those Nail Stains!

Nothing is more embaressing than stained nails. If you're paint your nails very often or maybe just left your nailpolish on your nails for too long, you will end up with yellow stains on your nails! Instead of double damaging your nails and painting over them; you can try the following:

Peroxide:
Just use some Hydrogen peroxide to whiten your nails! Mix one part peroxide with three parts water and soak your nails in the solution for 10 minutes. Use some hand lotion once you're done because peroxide will dehydrate your nails. Use an old toothbrush to brush your nails.

Lemon Juice:
We use it to brighten the tips of our nails,why not use it to brighten those yellow nails? Just dab few drops of lemon juice on your stained nails and let it set for several minutes. Buff the surface with a dry washcloth.


For future reference; always wear base coat on your nails! That way you'll avoid future discoloration.


P.S You can use some vitamin E to keep your nails and hands moisturized too. It'll do your nails better than just a regular lotion.

EOS Organic lip balm Review

EOS stands for evolution of smooth! I love the package, it's like a tiny ball and the application is easy plus i don't have to use my fingers to apply the lip balm so i'm in! It comes in a bunch of " flavors". I haven't actually tasted the lip balm but it smells strong & sweet!

I bought the strawberry sorbet lip balm. You can smell it but it's not overwhelming. This lip balm is :

• Long-lasting moisture
• Shea butter & vitamin E
• New smooth sphere precisely glides on to lips
• Twist-off top
• Gluten-free
• Paraben-free
• Petrolatum-free
• Phthalate-free

DIY : Nail polish & Vaseline

You'll need:

• Vaseline
• a Brush
• cotton swab 

Dab the brush in Vaseline & then apply it on the skin around your nails. Mistakes can be wiped off using the cotton swab when mistakes are made! Plus the Vaseline will soften your cuticles. Two in one.

How To: Remove Gelish!

I decided to make a tutorial about how to remove Gelish Nailpolish! Its pretty easy, perhaps not so quick but it could be because i did one hand at a time haha.

You'll need:

• Cotton Balls
• Acetone Nailpolish Remover
• Nail File
• Foil strips cut 5 cm by 3cm
• Orange Stick
• Nourishing nail oil Or Any kind of treatment for your nails as they will need it! I decided to use -Essie Feed me " intense hydration treatment" 

Step 1 - Roughen the surface of the nails with a file . This will break the seal on the top coat and will allow the Acetone Nailpolish Remover to penerate.

Step 2 - Apply Cotton soaked in Acetone Nailpolish Remover on your nails

Step 3 - Wrap your finger with foil & make sure to tighten the foil to make sure that the Nailpolish remover is always in contact with Gelish

Step 4 - Wait for 15 Minutes

Step 5 - Remove one foil & scrap surface of the nail with the wooden stick/orange stick. Repeat for all nails

N.B  If you find that you still have some uneven surfaces on your nail from the Gelish, just put back the foil you used the first time, soak your nail for few minutes and repeat the scraping stepStep 6 - File nail LIGHTLY, to remove any excess polish

Step 7 - Apply nourishing Nail oil or any other Treatment you can use. I used Essie - Feed me treatment

& Voila! You're done

Hash brown Omelette patties

So these are one of my favorites! They're super easy to make and they're tasty! 

You'll need:
Two Medium pieces of potatoes
Parsely
Two/Three eggs
Pepper
Salt
Cinnamon

Step 1- Wash the potatoes and then peel them ( you can choose not to peel them since you'll be grating them anyway but i like to peel). Next step is to Grate the potatoes using a coarse grater.

Step 2- In another bowl, Crack the eggs and whisk! I added few drops of vanilla extras

Step 3- Chop parsley finely or however you like to. I was in a rush so I just cut off the parsley leaves and threw them in a bowl along with the grates potatoes and I added one tsp of salt & pepper, half tsp of cinnamon ( the more cinnamon you add the sweeter it'll turn out)

Step 4- Mix Mix mix, then add the eggs!
Step 5- Butter up the pan & fry those babies!


And you're done!! If you use two medium sized potatoes you should end up with around 4 Pieces of this HashBrown/Omelette patty

Bonne Apetite
