Get It Gorgeous

Hey lovelies!  Citrus is a great scent.  It reminds me of summer and outside and happiness.  Which is normal, right?  Well I found a great recipe for you to soak in citrus! 

Citrus Bath Soak:

Makes: 4 cups
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Shelf Life: none, keep refrigerated

Ingredients:

• 3 cups and 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1 cup dried milk
• 1 lemon
• 1 orange
• 2 drops orange essential oil
• 3 drops lemon essential oil

How to make it:

• Slice the orange and lemon into thin slices into a bowl.  Discard the ends.
• Add the essential oils onto the slices.  Mix well.
• Add 1 teaspoon sea salt. Stir well.
• Let marinate for about 5 minutes.  This will encourage the fruits to release more of their juices.
• Use a separate bowl to combine the 3 cups of sea salt and the 1 cup of dried milk.  Stir well.
• Add the dry mixture to the fruit and stir well.

How to use it:

• Pour into your bath.
• Sit and enjoy!

As always, tell me if you do this!

xxoo,
Claire.

As you can see in the title, I have a lot going on.  In 6 days is the fashion show at school. I plan on finishing up the two dresses and jacket that I've been working on.  I should be walking 3 times.  I can't wait!  I already know my hairstyle and make up that I'm doing for it.  Don't worry, I should be tutorials on both!  And I will post pics of the fashion show after it happens!

Then I have my Sweet Sixteen to prepare for.  My mom decided to set aside some money, and we're able to go back to my original idea!  It's in 15 days and I need to get everything in order soon, otherwise it might not go very smoothly.  I got the dress, which is one of the things I worried about.  So now I have to figure out what to do for my make up (luckily I already know what I'm doing for my hair).

Oh and on top of all of that, my history teacher decided to start our research papers.  I have 35 notecards due on Wednesday!  It's insanity.

I definitely plan on making a full comeback after my Sweet Sixteen.  I'll try to post as much as possible until then though.  I may change up the schedule too.  I'm not sure yet.  If you guys have ANY ideas of what you would like to see more on here, don't hesitate to comment! I loveeeeee getting feedback. :)

xxoo,

Hey guys!

So I won't be blogging much over the next week because I'm getting surgery on Valentine's Day.  I haven't been blogging much lately because of what's going on with me too.  I'm still really sick and the surgery will change that.  So I should be back by the end of the month. I'll miss you guys!

xxoo,
Claire.
