Coconut Oil Lotion Bar
Coconut Oil Lotion Bar
EquipmentSaucepan
Lotion mold, muffin pan or tins
Ingredients
1 part Coconut Oil
1 part Pure Beeswax
Essential Oils (Optional)
Directions
Heat coconut oil and beeswax together in a saucepan over low heat. It helps if you break up the beeswax into small chunks because it takes a while for the wax to melt. Once the beeswax and coconut oil are melted add essential oils. I like to use vanilla and lavender. I’m sensitive to strong fragrances so I only add a few drops.
Pour melted coconut oil and beeswax into lotion bar molds or muffin tins. Let them sit until cool. You can also place them in the refrigerator if you need to speed up the process.
How to Use Lotion Bars
The first time I used a lotion bar I had some trouble. No one explained to me how to use them. I ended up bringing it into the shower with me and used it like a soap bar. It worked pretty well as a moisturizer, but a lot of it would wash off in the shower. Later I figured out that you’re not supposed to use it in the shower (though I still keep one in my shower because we like to use it the wrong way). Instead you need to rub the bar until it’s warm and then apply it on your skin like lotion.

Ten tips to help parents and children get through the exams
1.
Know your childs entire exam schedule.
Pin a copy of the examination timetable on the kitchen notice board. You should also note the date and time of each paper. Make sure you are at all times aware when your son or daughter has to be in the examination centre.
2. Ensure your child is present for each paper.
Yes, its sounds ridiculous, but with both parents working in many homes, it can happen that someone forgets to wake the student. Make sure they are up and dressed each morning before you leave the house.
3. Make a checklist of daily requirements, based on each days papers.
Make a final check each morning before you leave home that your son or daughter is fully prepared for the days exams. Writing instruments, along with the other requirements such as rulers, erasers, calculators etc should be checked, along with reading glasses etc.
4. Listen to the story of their day and move on.
After each days examinations, allow your child to recount to you their daily story. Do not be tempted to review in detail the errors or omissions they may have made in answering the paper in question. Such a process achieves absolutely nothing, other than to increase stress levels. Simply allow them the time and space to tell their story and move on.
5. Help them to focus on the next days papers.
It can be helpful to review the next paper. Simple questions, such as What is up next?, Are there any compulsory sections?, Are there any predictable questions? and so on, can be useful in helping students devise their study schedule for the time available before the next exam.
6. Help them to maintain a balanced daily routine.
You should ensure your child maintains a proper balance between study and rest. After an exam, they need time to rest and recharge before they can do any beneficial study for the next paper. Remember that this is on average a two-week process and they need to be as sharp on the morning of their final paper as they are tomorrow. Late-night study sessions should be avoided.
7. A good nights sleep always improves examination performance.
All study should end at least an hour before bed to allow the student to unwind. Falling straight into bed from the study desk means the students mind will be buzzing for hours as he/she attempts to fall asleep.
8. You are what you eat.
What you eat and drink affects your performance in any field of activity, especially one involving mental sharpness. As a parent, you should try to ensure that your child eats and drinks nutritious food during the coming weeks. Grazing on junk food is very tempting at times of increased stress. Avoid this.
9 Dont overhype the importance of any examination.
Make it clear to your kids that your love and regard for them is in no way dependent on how they perform in the Junior or Leaving Certificates. This affirmation is the best gift you can give them on the eve of their exams.
10. Make sure your child continues to mix with friends and family.
Dont isolate them in the study room upstairs. Contact with their peers is very important to maintaining their spirits during the coming weeks. You can also support them and lift their spirits when they are taking a break from their studies.

8 Tips for oily skin this summer
Eyeliner
Waterproof liner you say? I’m safe if I go swimming, but that’s about it. I have used almost every brand of waterproof liner, and within a couple hours it is sliding off my oily eyelids. So how do I fix this?
1. Put on your eyeliner as usual, then trace over it with a high-quality eyeshadow. For extra staying power, add another layer of your crayon, gel, or liquid liner. I know, it seems like a lot of work. However, it’s only a minute longer, and it saves you from bringing your liners with you everywhere you go.
Eyeshadow
Ugh… creasing eyeshadow. Creasing eyeliner. Is there no cure?! I have yet to find a primer that solves this. So what can you do?
2. Use a long-lasting cream shadow, like Maybelline Color Tattoo or e.l.f. Smudge Pot, as a base for your other eye makeup. Cream shadows that promise long wear will also lock on whatever products are layered on top, meaning that your eye makeup will last all day long. Bonus: Use a white shade to make your shadow color pop.
Foundation
Foundation is the bane of my existence. I have yet to find a foundation, other than the Physician's Formula Super BB All-in-1 Beauty Balm Powder, that does not slick off my skin and leave me with a blotchy face. My number one tip for oily skin is using Rimmel Stay Matte Primer. Even compared to many high-end brands, it is simply the best. For those of us gals that need even more grease-fighting power, here are some more tricks.
3. You’re going to wince when I say this. Prepare yourself. Here it is... apply a light dusting of powder on your face after your moisturizer, and before your foundation. It’s ok! You can! It actually works wonders. Apply your foundation as normal, and then gently pat on more powder to finish.
4. Never skip moisturizer. It will make your skin even more oily. You don’t want a heavy cream, but most lotions are fine. Or you can use a mattifying moisturizer. If you aren’t prone to breakouts, do not be afraid to use oil either. Just a tiny bit of an oil, like jojoba. It negates the production of oil from your skin.
Now, for the actual tip. After you’ve applied your moisturizer and let it set, take a tissue, and gently blot your face. It just gets rid of that little bit of extra moisture, and it helps to extend your foundation.
5. Makeup setting spray is a must. But not after all is said and done. Spray it on your face after moisturizing and priming, but before concealer and foundation! Let it dry, and apply your foundation as usual. My favorite setting spray is e.l.f. Studio Makeup Mist & Spray. This is my holy-grail makeup setting and prolonging trick!
6. I use this all the time when I’m going to be outdoors: waterproof/sweatproof sunscreen sprays. They are seriously amazing. Nothing is budging under that veil. It’s also my go-to when I travel to hot, sunny destinations. Simply spray it on your face after you’ve finished your makeup routine, and you're ready to go.
7. Last but not least, this tip is for use in extreme situations. Do not do this regularly, as it will dry out your skin. Mix a little bit of a clay mask with your moisturizer. Massage it into your skin, and let it dry. Add primer, and then foundation. Your oil will be absorbed by the clay, and your foundation won’t see a hint of it.
Concealer
Along the same principle of foundation, but this usually comes into play when covering an imperfection. Blemishes generally do not hold on to concealer very well. This is not necessarily for under eyes, as that can lead to noticeable creasing.
8. Tap your concealer onto the blemish, then tap on some powder. You can use a sponge or a brush, just layer on these products gently. On top of the powder, add more concealer. Lastly, finish with a dusting of powder to make sure any harsh lines are blended out. And voila!
Note: I always use primer. These tips may or may not be more beneficial with the use of a primer.
Good luck out there! Summer will never know what hit it!
