A must try! Homemade "Satin Hands" by Mary Kay replica

Once upon a time I sold Mary Kay. They make a product that i love love LOVE, called "Satin Hands." Satin Hands is a 3 step system with a "hand softener"(moisturizer), a scrub and a hand cream. Using it made your hands feel baby butt smooth, LOL.

Yesterday my best friend in the whole world shared a post with me on facebook for a homemade version of the scrub. I was intrigued. It consists of 2 ingredients and takes about 3 minutes to make. So i figured i would give it a try. Oh my goodness! I used the scrub, which felt and smelled amazing, and then my favorite hand lotion and my hands are now baby butt smooth. It is, in my opinion, just as good as the satin hands set and it didn't cost me $34. (YAY)

I cannot verify the origins or creator of this recipe. I traced it back to a post by a nice looking lady named Holly (https://www.facebook.com/holly.capron.5) but i couldn't find out if she created it or just found it online. If anyone knows this info feel free to let me know, i love to give credit where credit is due. Now, on to the good stuff.

Knockoff Mary Kay Satin Hands Sugar Hand scrub

Fill a mason jar 3/4 of the way full with sugar. Then add dawn dish soap until it reaches just below the mouth of the jar. (She recommends using the Olay Hand Renewal, which i did) Stir the sugar and soap together until it is paste like. If it seems to be too runny, add a little sugar at a time until it is the desired consistency.


I recommend keeping this is an airtight container, to keep any stray ants out. (It is made with sugar after all) In a small mason jar with a cute ribbon and homemade tag this would be a great gift.

I used mine as soon as it was made. Again, my hands are so soft and smooth. And the scrub really smells so good. And it's pink! I made a label for mine and have it next to the bathroom sink.

Oh. My. Gosh. I sold MK for about a minute a few years ago and by far the best thing was Satin Hands. I am giving this a try and making some for my son's teacher. Just in time for Teacher Appreciation Week!
Thanks for posting!

Old Factory Candles review and giveaway

Image
  Thanks to Red Rover Naturals I have had the pleasure of trying out and reviewing their old factory Candle set. The set I got was “Happy Holidays” which contains 3 different 2 ounce candles; Christmas Tree, Candy Cane, Gingerbread. These candles smell AMAZING! I could smell them the minute I opened the box. They are made in the USA with natural soy wax and have self-trimming cotton candle wicks. They burn clean for over 20 hours. They are small, only 2 ounces, but don't let that fool you, they pack a powerful scent. When lit they fill the room with their wonderful aroma, and the scent lasts for hours after they have been blown out. They have 12 unique themes to choose from. The jars have a kind of rustic look and are very cute. These would also make a great christmas gift, and with the "man cave" set the would even be good for the men in your life. Every purchase is 100% guaranteed. If you are not completely thrilled with the fragrance or appearance of these candles...

ASUS and my fight for them to be honorable

This blog is about my fight with ASUS computer company to get them to honor my warranty and replace my laptop. If anyone wants to share this page on the ASUS facebook page i would appreciate it. It also would be great if people could please go to this tweet and re-tweet it. The story In February of 2013 I purchased an ASUS brand laptop. The salesman highly recommended the brand, and it had several features i was looking for, including windows 8. $400 later, i left the store with a new laptop for school and a happy spirit. Flash forward ONE MONTH, and i started having an issue with the laptop. The sound would stop working, both on files and online. After contacting both geek squad and ASUS, they determined that i had gotten a virus in the audio software. I uninstalled the software, ran a comprehensive virus cleanup, purchased a new "better" anti-virus program the ASUS tech recommended and re-installed the audio drivers. Problem solved...or so i thought. Over the next ...

Why i stayed...

Image
In light of the recent video that has come to light showing ex-ravens player Ray Rice knocking then fiance, current wife Janay Palmer unconscious in a elevator, i have seen a lot of people asking "why did she still marry him?" and "why do woman stay with men that beat them?" I'd like to take a moment to offer some insight, as a survivor of domestic violence myself. The day i was married, sept 2nd of 2005, 8 months pregnant and so naive, is the day my ex-husband first hit me. One of my male family members had said something incredibly rude to him, which caused us to argue after the wedding and reception. I made the "mistake" of defending that while my uncle was wrong, he said what he said because he loved me. I didn't even see it coming when he backhanded me. I locked myself in the bathroom, holding my stomach, thinking of my son, and sobbing. But he apologized...he was stressed, hurt by what had been said to him, and so sorry. He worked hard ...
