Everyone knows I am a Pinterest junkie. When I have a problem, I search pins and try out the most pinned solution.

Baking Soda Facial Mask:


This Works Really well. Your skin GLOWS! The first time I used this mask, my face did burn a bit and when I washed it off, my skin was red for a minute or 2, I like to think it dragged out all the toxins, but who knows! After that I felt like friggen tinkerbell, all glitery and shiny as shit! :) I do this once or twice a week!

Vinegar to remove cat pee odor

This is utter bullshit. My boyfriend’s little kitten (my red headed stepchild, as I call him) had a little whoops on the feather duvet the first night we got him :( I googled and looked on Pinterest for home made cat pee odor remover, because the stuff you buy in the store are over priced and also dont work, so you waste money. A feather duvet is a nightmare to rid of kitty pee. I soaked the peed upon spot night through with a vinegar and water solution. Kitty-boo peed on the duvet every time as soon as we took our eyes off him I washed the duvet over a dozen times.So best is just to buy a whole new duvet and cover!

Baking Soda Peroxide Teeth Whitening

This really works! As a newly non-smoker (f*cking proud, I say), I wanted to whiten my teeth. I found this interesting recipe on Pinterest my Mom actually told me about. I thought it wont work, but wow! It does. After the second time I did it, I could see a really big difference! You have to be careful though, cos it bleaches your gums too! And if you accidentally swallow, you will get a really bad tummy cramp! But totally worth it :)

Cinamon and Honey to knock out a flu
This works too, but I obsess about all the sugar of course, cos I am a girl. But this remedy is a very tasty concoction to work in a day or 2 and klap that flu in no time.

Removing Candle Wax from carpet

One day I spilled candle wax on my flatmate’s rug. I was hopping around not knowing what to do because she could be a raging lunatic, especially at that time, because we had a fight and were not talking. I found this and never looked back. Boom! After I have done it, I wanted to wax candle wax all over the carpet and do it again!

Epsom Salt for sore muscles and ridding your body of water retention.


After a serious workout day of running for 2 hours, weight training for an hour and also a yoga class, I was broken. This recipe I originally got in a James Duigan book came to great use! My muscles were relieved and I all of a sudden rid myself of so much water retention! So it is a really good idea for models especially before a shoot or fashion show :)

Breaking in new shoes

 

Shoes a bit tight? Try this :) Like all people (Or I hope so), my one foot is a cm or something bigger than other one, or a toe is longer or whatever. One shoe is always tighter on my left foot. With this trick its sorted in 2 minutes!

White Nails


Last but not least, white nails. I am not a big fan of nail polish, or I dont always have the time to paint my nails. (I know mom, I should make time) but this easy foot soak, makes your naills look white and just pretty.
