I love ideas that save money and make a season more fun at the same time.I spent a large part of the 4th of July weekend going through a tall (and I mean TALL) stack of magazines.
I found a couple of great money saving beauty tips. Don't get me wrong -- I love getting pampered at the spa or salon, but in between visits -- a girl needs to take care of herself - right?
Tip 1 from InStyle: if you want your face to start the day with a little glow -- simply mix a drop of self-tanner into your night cream the night before. Be sure to let the mixture dry before you pull on your PJs or touch your skin to the pillowcase.
Tip 2 from Natural Health: mix your own body scrub. Combine 1 cup of sugar (use white or brown sugar with medium size granules) with 3/4 cup of oil (the mag suggests fractionated coconut oil), and 2-3 drops of the essential oil of your choice (simply pick your favorite scent, like lavender or peppermint). Stir to combine and use like the body scrub you normally purchase.
BUT be sure to treat yourself to a relaxing body scrub or facial at your favorite salon or spa (using a discounted gift certificate, of course). There's nothing finer during a stay-cation than a little local pampering!
