How to Groom a Rabbit




 Hope y'all are having a great weekend! Today I'm going to teach y;all how to groom a rabbit, the rabbit in the pictures is my rabbit Snickers.  Grooming a rabbit can be difficult or easy depending on how cooperative your rabbit is.  In my case my rabbit can be difficult during this shoot she decided it would be nice to jump out of the bath tub 4 times and splash water all over the bathroom and some on the camera.  Though the washing the rabbit isn't even the hard part the hard part is drying the rabbit but we will get to that soon.
Lets just start out with what you will need.

What you need:
  • Rabbit Shampoo; $4.99 at most pet stores
  • Rabbit or cat brush: $5.00 at the most at most pet stores
  • Rabbit or dog nail clippers most people use rabbit but I find that dog clippers work best for me; rabbit clippers ar 45.99 at most pet stores
  • Two towels you will probably want to use ones you don't really care about

 First put a towel on the floor of your bath tub, and then fill it with 1 inch of water at the most, and then place the rabbit in the tub and wet the rabbit but don't get it on his?her ears like I did.


 Next put lather the shampoo through his/her fur .

 Then wash all the shampoo out of the fur, by the end the rabbit should look like a mop.


 Then slightly wring his/her fur on her feet,tail and body out.  And try to dry off her fur a lot, this could take a while so you might just want to blow dry it.
 If you blow dry his/her fur than put the heat on low or medium on high power. Make sure you move the blow dryer around so you don't burn the rabbit.

 Next after the rabbit is dry, brush his/her fur but don't press to hard because one time I cut her skin on accident :(.

 Lastly to trim the rabbit's nails, first at the rabbits nails so you know were the quick is if the rabbit's nails are light like Snicker's nails than it is easier, but if they are dark than shine a light through them and then you should be able to see them. After all this you could give your bunny a treat such as some banana or a strawberry.

 ~Hope you have a good week come back again~

How to sanitize your makeup

 Today I'm gonna teach you how to sanitize your makeup, sanitizing your makeup can not only be better for you it also makes the shelf life of your makeup longer. Sanitizing your makeup is very easy and takes maybe 5 minutes at the most. You can sanitize everything from cream to powder makeup, you can also even sanitize your lipstick and lip gloss. Now lets get to how you do it and what you will need.

What you'll need:

  • Makeup of course, this can include anything pressed(eyeshadow, blush, bronzer, powder, etc.), this can also include lip products, and creme eyeshadow, blushes, or eyeliner
  • Paper towels or toilet paper
  • Cotton Balls
  • Rubbing Alcohol I used 70% but you can also use 90%
  • Spray Bottle 
You can get all these things at Walmart for under $10.00
First thing you need to do is put the Alcohol into the spray bottle


     How to Sanitize Lip Gloss:

 First you will need to spray the applicator of the lip gloss with the alcohol, you can also spray the actual stick

 After you spray the applicator of the lip gloss wipe of the applicator and the stick with a paper towel or toilet paper.
Then leave the applicator out to dry until you don't smell any more alcohol this could take from 1-5 minutes.

                                                  

                       How to Sanitize your lipsticks(I also used this method to sanitize my Baby Lips):

 First open your lipstick and spray whatever part of the lipstick that has been used. After you spray the bullet tip the lipstick upside down so no alcohol gets into the actual tube, but if this happens after the bullet has time to dry which could take from 30 seconds to 1 minute, close this lipstick up and tip it upside down so the alcohol can drain out.
After you have sprayed the bullet dry it of and let dry for 30 seconds to 1 minute.



   How to Sanitize pressed makeup:

First wipe off the top layer of the pressed makeup to get oil off the makeup.
Next spray your pressed makeup with the alcohol and let the eyeshadow dry open for 5-10 minutes.


       How to Sanitize your creme makeup:

             First spray the makeup with the alcohol.


Then wipe the makeup with a cotton ball and let it dry for 1-3 minutes.


~Hope you try this out and leave a comment if you'd like.

Review: Seventh Generations Lavender Face Wipes


Today I'm reviewing the Seventh Generations Lavender Face Wipes, these wipes are free from parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrances and harsh dyes, and are infused with 100% plant-based cleansers. These wipes cost $5.99 at Publix, or $6.00 at Target.These wipes defiantly caught my eye when they said they had a lavender fragrance,all natural, and hypoallergenic and alcohol free. I used these wipes yesterday to take off my makeup after school, and decided I should make a type a review for ya'll. So lets get to the review.



First off the packaging is soo awesome the simplicity is so nice looking, and having the plastic opening makes the wipes stay wet, and on the covering you can press on the side and the wipes will open, which I think is a great feature.



The ingredients list on the back consists of a fairly long list of  ingredients, but not too bad I mean these are facial wipes most wipes have longer lists.  The back also states how the wipes are a USDA Certified Biobased Product and are not tested on animals and you can't see in the picture but they are also made in the USA. These facial wipes are also Gluten-Free
The texture of the wipe is very soft and gentle on your skin, and the color is just white.Sadly I can't figure out what the actual wipe is made out of:(.In the picture that is not the actual size of the wipe I didn't want to waste a whole wipe,so I cut some off, but the actual size is a 18 by 20 cm wipe. The smell is just a strong lavender fragrance, if you don't like strong fragrances than you might not like this. Though keep in mind the fragrance is not a paraben it is natural and caused by essential oils and botanical extract fragrance.



                        

                        How do they work?    
No Swipe
                                            


In the next 5 pictures I made a visual to show you how the wipes work against different types of makeup.

Here is a list of the products from top of my wrist to my forearm:
Great Lash Lots of Lashes Mascara:$4.49;Walmart
Great Lash Waterproof Mascara:$4.49;Walmart
Urban Decay 24/7 Liquid Eyeliner:$19.00;Sephora 
NYX Matte Lipstick:$4.50;Ulta
NYX Lipstick:$3.00;Ulta
NYX Lip liner Pencil:$3.50;Ulta
Jordana Twist&Shine:$2.99;Walgreens
Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer:$6.00;Walmart
Loreal Magic Souffle Blush:$12.95;Walmart
Benefit Benetint:$30.00;Ulta 


First Swipe
Second Swipe
Third Swipe
Fifth Swipe

 I noticed the face wipe didn't take waterproof mascara off well at all, when I used these wipes on my eyes that had waterproof mascara on I had to tug my lashes and still couldn't get all of the mascara off. But the face wipe did take of everything else of fairly well, over all I really like these wipes, and how they are natural and have no parabens.

Pros:
  •  Not tested on animals, Gluten-free, USDA Certified Biobased Product, no parabens,pthalates, synthetic fragrances and harsh dyes, and Hypoallergenic and Alcohol free
  • Smell really good
  • Good Packaging
  • Take off all makeup except for waterproof
  • So far hasn't broken me out and I have sensitive skin
Cons:
  • Don't take off waterproof makeup
  • Smell can be overwhelming for other people 
  • Have heard they have broken some people out, but not a lot of people, also heard they can dry people out, but haven't dried or broken me out; but you will never know until you try them out

DIY: Crayon Lipstick

Today I'm teaching ya'll how to make a safe, natural crayon lipstick that has no chemicals like traditional lipsticks. This recipe is super simple and easy to do. This recipe will take a short amount of time, you can probably have a new lipstick in about 5 minutes.

Now lets get to the recipe:
  • 1/2 of a crayon, or if you are mixing colors make sure the total amount of crayon is at least the same amount as 1/2 of a crayon
  •  1/2 teaspoon of oil, I used Trade Joe's Vitamin E oil, this oil has oils mixed in the Vitamin E oil, but if you aren't using this than you can use any other oils(Coconut, olive, almond, grape seed, etc.
  •  1/2 teaspoon of a butter or coconut oil, I used cacao butter you could also use Shea, mango, avocado, etc.; just make sure not to use cooking butter;).
  • 2-3 drops of vitamin E oil, I used on capsule of Vitamin E oil
  • Measuring spoons and a bowl
  •  Containers,I used containers I got at Walmart you could also use reused lipbalm or lipstick tubes or pans
  • Optional: 1/3 teaspoon of castor oil, lipbalm fragrance; I used mint extract,Pigment or mica 
 Step1: put the ingredients in the bowl and put the bowl in the microwave and nuke for 30 second bursts until melted, make sure after each burst stir well. I also ended up after these ingredients were melted I put a sliver more of crayon in the mixture and melting it again.

 Step 2: now is the time to add castor oil, pigments, and extract or fragrance, and if necessary you can nuke it again. Then pour the melted mixture into your container of choice, then put it in the freezer until hardened this shouldn't take long
This is a swatch of the color I made on my lips

This is a swatch on my wrist
Prices:
Crayola Crayons, 48 pack: $5.99 at Walmart
Vitamin E Capsules, 100 count: $2.80 at Walmart
Cacao Butter: $6.79 at  Vitacost, you can also get the kind I got at Whole foods but I can't find how much it is
Containers, 2 pack: $0.97 at Walmart
Vitamin E oil: $3.99 at Trader Joe's
Pigment: I got mine for $6.99 at Ross, but you could also use NYX loose pearl eyeshadow retailed at $2.99 at Ulta
Castor oil: $2.64 atWalmart
Mint Extract: $3.56 at Walmart

Review:

Pros:
  • Good Pigmentation
  • All Natural
  • Safe for the Lips

Review: NYX Love in Paris Eyeshadow Palette



Today I'm reviewing the NYX Love in Paris Eyeshadow Palettes, these retail for $9.99 a piece at Ulta. The two palettes I have are on the left "Madeleines and Macaroons" palette, and on the right "C'est La Vie". In my opinion these palettes are great, they give great color and apply well.Though some of the lighter colors can be very sheer. Over all though I think these palettes have great colors and are fairly nice.
Pros:
  • Great variety of colors
  • Good Pigmentation
  • Sturdy, cute packaging
  • Apply well on the eyes
Cons:
  • Some of the colors, mainly colors in the Madeleines and Macaroons palette, can be very sheer and hard to see.
  • Some colors can be chalky such as the pale pink color in the Madeleines and Macaroons palette
  • On some of the colors the eyeshadow clumps together in the pan and have to be scratched to get eyeshadow on your brush or finger
All the palettes available in the Love in Paris collection:
"A La Mode"
"Madeleines and Macaroons"
"Be our Guest Maurice"
"Love Affair with Louis"
"Parisian Chic"
"C'est La Vie"
"Pardon My French"
"Eat Cake"
"Mercibeaucoup"
"Je Ne Sais Quoi"
"Your are in Seine"
"Mon Cherie"
