DIY makeup remover

I have not bought makeup remover in probably 2 years. That's a long time now that I think about it. How have I survived?? It's a lot simpler than you think and way easy to make at home.
This is what my makeup remover looks like. I made this bottle about hmm...um...uh...maybe 3 months ago? Maybe. It lasts a while! And you only need a few drops to take EVERYTHING off. This is only a little 3oz travel bottle that I got from the dollar store. So here's the recipe. 

What you need:: 
some sort of container. 
water. 
baby oil. 
baby shampoo. 

Fill your bottle about 3/4 of the way with water. (That is where the #1 is). 
Fill almost the rest of the bottle up with baby oil. (#2) 
Add a few drops of baby shampoo. Literally a FEW. Like 4 max. 
Shake that shizz up! 

I give mine a good shake before I use it and just squirt a few drops onto a cotton round.
It has also been brought to my attention that if you put a few cotton rounds in a container and then add the mixture to it, just dampening them not soaking them, you would basically have those makeup remover pads they sell in stores. Which ever way you choose is up to you. This stuff works wonders!!!

The Help- Review

The Help is another book I read before it was about to be made into a movie. It is a very easy read. The chapters go between 3 characters; Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, Aibileen Clark, and Minny Jackson. Skeeter wants to be a writer and she decides, with the help of a New York publisher, to write about the help in the South. Skeeter is a white woman with a degree in English, she enlists the help of local maids  in secret. There is one way that they can't get caught and it happens to be in one of Minny's stories. 

The movie was pretty good, all of the details were there. I did not really see Emma Stone as Skeeter, I had imagined someone a bit taller. There were a few scenes that were left out but the movie was definitely hilarious but could make you cry. 



Water for Elephants- Review

I read this book a few years ago before it had been made into a movie. And I must say, it was a tear jerker. It is narrated by an elderly man in a nursing home and he is telling his circus stories. You really feel all the emotions that he feels. By the end of the book you will cry because it is very heartfelt.

It is a phenomenal book and was a great movie. I love a great book that gets made into a good movie. Watching characters come to life and scenes that you had only imagined being right there.  It is amazing. I can't even be mad that Robert Pattinson is the main character in the movie, that's how good it was.
