Here is an DIY Easy Nail Polish Remover Jar you can make yourself. I found this at LikeaLady.net
They aren’t any written instructions but it looks simple enough to make just by looking at the step by step pictures! I am going to make one for my niece.
Today’s frugal living tip is to cut your facial wipes in half! I know I definitely do not need to use a whole facial wipe when removing makeup. I mostly use them to remove eye makeup as I find it’s gentler on my eyes and removes more than eye makeup remover. I use both sides to get the maximum benefit. My mom cuts hers into quarters extending it even further. I find I do need at least half for myself.
It’s really easy to do though I would advise washing your scissors before hand to make it more sanitary. Cutting them in half will double your savings and one pack will last twice as long. It’s also less wasteful.
You can also apply this tip to fabric sheets and even to cotton square pads. I prefer to use cotton balls and stock up when on sale with a coupon. I normally buy the store brand as I can get better deals such as CVS or Target.

I wanted to discuss some hair color tips that I have found help me to get the best color possible. I get lots of compliments on my hair color and looks very natural.
Many people are very afraid of coloring their own hair at home. I can definitely understand those concerns.
I use Natural Instincts Hair Color which gives me great color at a very affordable price. I can afford to color my hair a little more often by doing it myself.
I am not going more than a shade or two darker than my natural hair color.
I like to use a nice auburn which adds in dark red highlights to my dark brown hair. It looks great in the sunlight.
Then I allow it to process, rinse it out and condition. I hope some of these tips help you to color your own hair.

I am not getting any younger over here with 40 knocking on my door. It’s important to me to take care of my skin now before the signs of aging begin to really show. I was thrilled when I was given this great éclos Skin Care sample kit to try for a week!
What makes Eclos unique is their skin care line features Apple Stem Cells extracted from a rare Swiss apple which have shown tremendous ability to stimulate skin stem cells, encouraging aging skin to behave like younger skin. Plant extracts, vitamins and anti-oxidants combine with the Apple Stem Cell technology to help minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and tired skin.
Even better is how affordable this skin care line is and it’s available at stores like Walgreens and CVS! Plus you can save money with their coupon! Get department store quality without the department store price tag. It does not contain harmful petro-chemicals, parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances or dyes.
I tried all the skin care products in the sample kit! I loved all of them and they smell so good. I have to say my favorite was the éclos Anti-Aging Instant Radiance Facial Scrub! It warms up as you put it on your face. It smelled so good and felt great. It doesn’t stay harsh like some scrubs. It works into your skin and is more like a gel after it begins to dissolve. I loved it and felt like a spa treatment.
Facial Cleanser Skin Prep- lathers to remove makeup and daily debris which refreshes skin and purify pores. Use once morning and again at night.
Radiance Facial Scrub- exfoliates dry, dull dead skin cells. Restores radiance plus evens out skin tone. Use once daily- every other day. It warms up as you apply. I used it at night before bedtime.
Cellular Activator Face Serum– promotes collagen production giving skin a more youthful look. Helps visibly reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while protecting against environmental damage. Smooth serum over clean, dry skin in morning and evening. For optimal effects, use under éclos Moisture
Therapy Regenerative Cream.
Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream- Revitalizes skin stem cells, helping to tighten sagging skin and postpone wrinkles. Use once daily, morning and night. For optimal results, apply over éclos Cellular Activator Face Serum.
Restorative Eye Cream– visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Gently pat under, and around, eye area morning and night.
Renewal Clay Mask– cleanses skin, absorbs impurities, and helps unclog pores. Smooth a thin layer of mask over clean face, avoiding the eye area. After mask hardens (between 5 to 10 minutes), rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use twice weekly for maximum benefits.
My skin feels so much cleaner and brighter. I have noticed my pores are smaller and even the discoloration on my cheeks has lessened. My skin just feels so much smoother. I have noticed I was having a bit more acne than normal, but I think it was because it was bringing out the impurities to the surface. My husband has even commented on how much nicer my skin looks. I do find the moisturizer is a little thick which is fine for at night, but not for daytime wear. I have combination skin and it just felt too heavy on my face in this heat and humidity. I love to use it at night.

*Note: I was given a product or sample because I’m a Klout influencer. I was under no obligation to receive the sample or talk about this company. I get no additional benefits for talking about the product or company.
I received another great Klout perk in the mail yesterday. I was really excited to receive this package of two full size Simple Skincare beauty products. Not one but two full size products were in the box. This was a nice surprise for me.
I have only recently started seeing the Simple Skincare products advertised online and in stores. The company is originally from the UK. I was intrigued to try a product that states it is free of unwanted dyes and perfumes and perfect for people especially with sensitive skin. I do find the older I am getting, the more sensitive my skin is becoming so I do try to find products made for sensitive skin.
The two products I received are the Facial Cleansing Wipes and the Replenishing Moisturizer. I tried both of these products last night. First I used the cleansing wipes to remove what little makeup I had left on my face. The wipes do not have a perfume scent at all, and were lightly moist. I have used some wipes that had a strong scent plus were very wet. The wipes are a generous size so I was able to completely wipe my face, eyes, and even my neck. I did use both sides, but it took off all my makeup. My face felt clean though I do admit not as clean as it does after using a facial wash. It did take off all my eye makeup and was not harsh or pull on my eyelids. I wear contacts so it is important for the wipe not to irritate my eyes.
Next I used the Replenishing moisturizer. It is not a thin moisturizer and a little thicker, but not overly thick. Some reviews I have read said the products are more for dry to normal skin which made their skin oily. I have combination skin and is more on the oily side especially living in a hot and humid climate most of the year. It did not feel oily or very thick and I was able to work into my skin very quickly. It felt so nice afterwards and silky. I used it again this morning after washing my face, and it still feels nice on the cheeks.
I have to say overall I am very pleased with the Simple Skincare products. I will probably not buy the wipes again, but I am definitely going to purchase the facial wash.
