Bandana


Ok, here's the scoop. I had to run out, but knew I was going to shower later in the day. My hair was a wreck from a funky style the day before, then being slept on. It's too short now to pull it in a ponytail. Solution? Bandana. This is how I do uber-lazy.

    Here in Wisconsin, although we are used to it, I am getting mighty sick of this cold weather. I figured if I start incorporating spring items into my current wardrobe, Mother Nature will take a hint and send some warm weather.

Blazer: $0 Christmas Gift (I think originally from Shopko)
Dress: $8 Walgreens (Yep, for real, Walgreens, lol.)

Cheap Beauty Trick!

    As you can guess...I am cheap. Not in a bad way...I just like to watch my money. WalMart? Yes please. Goodwill? Yes!

But, I do love a good body lotion...which can get a bit pricey (for me anyways...) I love Goldbond Softening with Shea Butter. It runs about $9 a bottle at Walmart. Not over-priced.... but more than a cheap generic brand. So when my pump stops pumping, but I can tell there's still plenty of lotion left in there (stuck to the sides, etc.) I add a magic ingredient and stretch the life of the lotion up to a month of daily use.

How? Baby Oil. This is not a secret, but many people don't know about this little trick. Unscrew the pump cap and pour in about 1 Tbsp of baby oil.  (And at under $3 for a 20 oz. bottle....you can get a lot of use out of it!)

Screw the pump cap back on and shake the dickens out of it.

When you think you're done....shake it even more. It has to be very well mixed otherwise it will separate after time. (Giving it a few shakes each time you use it can help prevent separation, too.)

That's it! Use as normal! (I use for body, but not face...don't need to add oil to my face.)  Leaves skin super soft, but not greasy-feeling.

I didn't want to take this outfit off ever! (I was just headed to my sister's house to hang out on the couch for a few hours....but who knows what else may have come up that I wouldn't want to be caught in sweatpants for! e.g. emergency stop at Walmart for a candybar!)
