GOT HARD HANDS & WANT TO TRANSFORM THEM? #DIY #HOME #SPA
Think of all the great things you did to get these hard hands, now you deserve the pampering that will get rid of them 馃檪 You go girl – I’m on your side and I’m proud you’re taking the time to do this for yourself.
Ingredients
– Cleanser (liquid or regular solid soap)
– Coarse sugar
– Water
– Olive Oil
– Bowl
Night time – brush your teeth, wash your face, get completely ready for bed. Turn on some music you really like and then follow these instructions…
1) Heat some water in a saucepan AND a cup of olive oil in another saucepan – don’t make it too hot though!
2) Wash your hands at the tap with a cleanser so they are clean.
3) Put the WARM water in the bowl and soak your hands in it for 5 minutes.
4) Dry carefully using a clean towel.
3) Put a tablespoon of warm olive oil in your hands and then two heaped tablespoons of sugar.
4) Rub your palms together, really go for it. This is the exfoliation your hard working hands need!
5) Rinse your hands off with luke warm water and dry your hands.
6) Put the warm olive oil in your bowl and soak your hands for 15 minutes (you may have to move your hands around to make sure they are covered by the olive oil).
7) Don’t wash the olive oil off! Put cotton socks on your hands and go to sleep…
IN THE MORNING:
Press play on your music again!
8) Take the cotton socks off your hands and wash off the olive oil.
9) Marvel at how GORGEOUSLY, SOFT YOUR HANDS ARE NOW!
You just got an A-list spa treatment for a fraction of the cost!
Smile smugly to yourself and DANCE to your music 馃檪
And remember, I’m here rooting for you.

Here’s the question from the wall that got me to write this article: <<Wat about people with hard palms,even ladies,wat can someone do???>>
'No one can help you' vs 'No one can stop you'… Which would you prefer?
“If you are not willing to learn, no one can help you.
If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.” Anon

GOT A SMELLY CLOTHES EMERGENCY but no time to wash and dry? Homemade Febreze… :-)
If you have vodka or rubbing alcohol in your house… you can solve this problem in no time. 聽Here’s a cheap Febreze alternative.
1) Get an empty spray bottle
2) Add 1 cup of water
3) Add 1/4 cup vodka or isopropyl (aka rubbing) alcohol
4) Do a spot test on your chosen item of clothing and allow it to dry.
5) If all is well with the test then spray your outfit with your homemade Febreze…
6) Put the outfit out to dry outside or in some other well ventilated area.
HOW IT WORKS
The alcohol is an anti-bacterial… 聽It kills the bacteria that cause those stinky clothes smells.
BUT WON’T I SMELL LIKE A LIQUOR STORE???
No. 聽When the alcohol dries, it won’t smell at all. 聽The alcohol totally evaporates and it’ll take all the naughty smells with it 馃檪
Take care Ms Low Maintenance and I hope this tip helps!

DEAR LIFESTYLISTA: MY KID SISTER HAS A BODY IMAGE DISTURBANCE PROBLEM…
DEAR LIFESTYLISTA: “Hi der, my kid sis has a body image disturbance problem n it hurts me so much to see her cry abt it.though am a nurse i cant help..she is got da coca cola shape n very pretty buh she has big thighs which rub as she walks thus causing her inner thighs to be dark…she loves to wear shorts buh cant wear them cos it just keeps pushn up as she walks… wat do you advice pls help as soon as possible…”
LADIES – PLEASE GIVE YOUR SUPPORT TO OUR LIFESTYLISTA FRIEND [NAME DELETED]. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? WHAT HELP CAN YOU GIVE FROM YOUR OWN LIFE EXPERIENCE?
Here’s the answer I gave:
I am so, so sorry to hear about your kid sister and what she’s going through. I can hear it’s tough for you too. Truth is, i sounds as if what your sister needs more than anything is someone to talk to. I have the same thing with my thighs rubbing together and shorts! ( and so do lots of A list celebs and they have it erased in photoshop for magazine shoots etc. – tell your sis that!) The only thing that fixes that is becoming much thinner and for those of us with naturally bigger thighs (even when we are slim) this is something that we often live with.
Truly, the advice I’d give is to see if you can help your sister find ways to feel better about herself, to feel beautiful. I have a scar on my knee that for ages made me sad & self conscious when I was a teenager). I never spoke to anyone about how it made me feel, I just suffered in silence. Your sister at least has you! Someone who cares soooooo much. it’s obvious.
See if she’ll talk to you or if there’s someone in her life she feels she can talk to. Here’s me owning up to how I felt about my scar (and when I made the video, I hadn’t even told my other any of this – and this was from when I was a teenager!)

Junejane Noah Ask your kid sister 2 rub powder between her thighs dis wil help reduce d burns n she should wear under-tides whenever she wears a free cloth like-skirt or wrapper, this wil prevent both thighs 4rm directly rubbing 2geda thereby preventin burns.. Al d same, she should feel beautiful wit or without scars.
