I could not count the amount of money I have wasted by throwing away makeup that I thought was trash, when I could have fixed it. There is no need to throw your money away on perfectly good makeup! If you happen to break your powder makeup, you can easily fix it with alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and patience!  This works for any kind of powder based makeup, such as bronzers, blot powders, eye shadows, whatever! All you need is a few drops of alcohol into your broken powder compact. Usually it would be said to use 75%+ based alcohol, but this is because the more alcohol concentrate, the faster it dries.

Objects like shopping carts, gas station pumps, restaurant chairs, door knobs, and bus handles don’t get washed very often! Say “no” to sugar and alcohol. It may be tempting when it’s cold outside, but that baked treat and spiked hot cocoa are your immune system’s worst enemies....

 I will wrap my hair up at night. As a hairdresser and weave wearer, I hate seeing and doing weaves that are ‘laid for the Gods’, but the next day look like they took a trip on the Underground Railroad.  Ladies we must do better.  I will drink water! And not just when I am brushing my teeth, but actually try to get down 8 glasses a day. As it purifies your body by pushing harmful toxins out, water also moisturizes your hair, skin, and nails, they will thank you when you are 60! I will endorse the “its quality not quantity” mindset. 8 bundles of Peruvian weave for $100 sounds crazy. You get what you pay for ladies, spend the extra on good...
