DIY: make your own makeup remover wipes
Hey everyone, I'm back with another DIY! I found this on beautylish and it's a really cheap and easy way to make your own makeup removing wipes. I go through wipes really quickly and it would be so easy and cheap to make these at home, especially if you ran out. I can't wait to try these out! So if you do try this, let me know in the comments if you liked it and how it turned out.
1: In a microwaveable bowl, mix 2 cups of purified water, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and 2 squirts of baby wash.

Last minute Mothers day gift guide!
Mothers day is just around the corner! From all the stuff your mum would do for you, from feeding you as a baby, working for money to look after and how much she loves You, I think our mums deserve a little something. Whether its a card or breakfast in bed, will be those little things to show her you love her and to just say "thank you for all you have done for me"
(so sorry this is up so late, I have been busy and have not been to get around since I'm on crutches. I made this blog post days ago and have not had a chance to finish it!)
Breakfast in bed!

How to know what skin type You have
To determine what skin type You have is one step closer to beautiful skin, Because then its easy to know what skin care products You need for your skin. I found this simple and easy way to know your skin type a long time ago and it's awesome because it's something I bet You all have at home... Sticky tape!What You will need:
Clear sticky tape
Skin types: normal, dry, oily, combination
1. Wash your face with a cleanser, then pat dry btw make sure to remove any makeup.
2. Wait about 30-60 mins after washing your face so your skin goes back to its natural state.
3. Cut off 3 small piece of clear sticky tape (about 3-5cm)
4. Apply the tape smoothly to the bridge of your nose, centre of your forehead, and the centre of your cheek.
5. Now remove the sticky tape and examine the sticky side of it. If there's dry flakes, you have dry skin, if there's little droplets and feels oily, then you have oily skin, if there's a little bit of both, you have combination skin, if there's neither then You have normal skin.
Now you know your skin type! :)

Easter special: chocolate bird nests
So easter is just around the corner and i wanted to do another recipe for easter again. omg i can't wait try this! i have more recipes for easter coming up and hopefully a DIY. here's where i found the recipe: chocolate bird nests
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, for greasing the muffin pan
6 ounces (1/2 bag) of semi-sweet chocolate chips
6 ounces (1/2 bag) of butterscotch chips
1 cup creamy peanut butter
6 ounces (1/2 of a large bag) of chow mein noodles
36 mini cadbury eggs
Method:
1. Generously grease the wells of a muffin pan with the butter (this will help later when you are taking out the chilled nests).
2. In a large microwave-proof bowl, heat the chocolate and butterscotch chips in 30 second intervals until thoroughly melted, stirring after each increment.**It only me took two 30-second intervals.
3. Once melted, add the peanut butter to the chocolate/butterscotch mixture, mixing well until smooth and completely combined.
4. Carefully add the chow mein noodles, stirring with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, until completely coated.
5. Using a large spoon, mold the mixture into the wells of your muffin tin, indenting the tops slightly with the back of the spoon.
6. Chill the nests until hardened, about 1 hour or so.
7. Once chilled, gently remove the nests from the muffin tin.***I used a butter knife as a lever to pop them out-this seemed to work.
8. Place three eggs (or colored jelly beans!) on the tops of each nest.
