One of the big things about keeping your skin healthy looking is exfoliating. And sometimes, this can cost a small fortune to keep your face looking good.
You can go out and buy some expensive scrub, or you can raid your kitchen.
1. Sugar scrub: Mix a 2/1 mix of sugar and water, just enough to wet the sugar and use it to buff out your face, rinse off and moisturize.
2. Baking soda: Make a paste with baking soda and water, its super mild and leaves your face feeling fresh!
3. Honey and sugar: Honey makes you glow and sugar is an exfoliant. It'll be sticky, but will feel amazing.
4. Salt scrub: This is going to be a 1/1 ratio, as salt as sharper edges in the crystals, but it will work as a quick exfoliant.
Good luck sin-lessers :]

Soften your feet
Every girl get it... rough heel. Some spend time scrubbing it in the shower, some try soaking their feet for hours and some, get sinless.
The process is so easy, you'll flip. You need two things, and I'll bet my left toe you have one of them at least already.
1. Lotion. If you don't have lotion, I revoke your girl card. Actually, if you don't have it, message me, and I'll send you one of my 30 bottles. Yes, I collect lotions. So make sure you've got it.
2. Really soft socks. You might already have these. If not, Wal Mart has them for as little as a Dollar. The ones I used have aloe infused into them, and I got them at Bath and Body Works, on sale, for $.50. I'm talking the fuzzy comfy socks that you don't want to wear out. Yes, those are the ones.
So now, for the soft feet.
Step 1: Cover your feet in a THICK layer of lotion. I found this hard to do seeing as every instict I had told me to rub it in, but no. You want that super thick layer.
Step 2: Slip on the socks. Again, Kind of weird, but after they are on, you won't notice how weird it was.
Step 3: Head off to bed, yes, just sleep with those super comfy socks on with the layer of lotion underneath, and you'll wake up with super soft, good smelling feet.
I'm guessing you could do this however many times you want. I just started last night and I used my Twisted Peppermint lotion for Bath and Body Works. I love the way my tosies feel today and I will be making this a regular part of my week.
Remember, Being sin-less from head to toe is acceptable!

X-mas gets Sin-Less
Its 10 days until the biggest gift giving holiday of the year, and if you don't have a gift for someone, its time to get creative. I have some ideas to cover multiple people and won't break you in the process!
1. You have some girls who love make-up, check out the pre-made gifts at stores. I found some make-up kits at Wal Mart for $5 and a deluxe kit for $15
Hopefully you can get everyone on your list for a good price and maybe do a little Sin-Less spending of your own :]

2. HOT CHOCOLATE! Everyone loves a good. warm cup of hot chocolate, and I found a really cute idea that makes about four gifts
3. Going along with that idea, coffee. Me and my Husband went to Winco and they had single packs of flavored coffee for $1.25, grab two, throw them in a mug you picked up at the Dollar Store and wrap a bow around it. That's a gift for less than $5, and it will please anyone who drinks coffee.
4. Candles, candles, candles. They are everywhere, and you can find them for a good price.

Double up!
Find yourself running low on money and products? Need something and don't get paid till tomorrow?
You need to learn the art of Double up! Many products can be used in different ways, and ways that give you a little clearance until your next pay day.
1. Eye shadow as eyeliner.Any one of your eye shadows can be used as eyeliner. Yes, you need a eyeliner brush, but those are like $3. Wet the brush and run it over the eye shadow, apply in a line either below or above you lashes, and you can wait an extra day or two until you have to buy new liner, or on the day blue liner would be amazing, you've got it.
2. Concealer as eye shadow primer. You shadow likes to fall? You use primer every day and now your out, use any liquid concealer or foundation on your eyes and your shadow will stick.
3. Brown eye shadow as eye brow definer. The brown pencil you use everyday is out, and you have dark brown eye shadow, your in luck, apply in to your brows and have darker, fuller brows in no time.
4. Lipstick as blush. Blush out, bronzer washes you out, and now you look like an alien. Take your lipstick and put a little on your finger, then rub it into the apples of your checks. Apply face powder over it so its not to dark and you no longer look like something from check-less planet.
Now you know how to make everything you have work overtime :]

Quick-up!
One of the most useful tools any girl should have is the ability to do your make-up in less than three minutes. We will refer to it as "Quick-up". You only need 4-5 items and you can get them all cheap.
You will need:
1. A cream eyeshadow. (Available at the Dollar Tree)
2. Eye- Liner (If you don't have one... wow, but you can pick up any kind you like)
3. A Powder compact (Again, if you don't have one, find a cheap one. Wal-mart has them for like $2)
4. Blush (A tool all girls need, Get it at the Dollar Tree)
5. *Optional* Mascara. (There might be time for it)
Lets get started!
Step 1. Get the cream shadow all over the lid, I always just cover the lid
Step 2. Line your water-line and lash-line with eye-liner, If that's too harsh then just the water-line and hit mascara to the top
Step 3. Cover your face with powder
Step 4. Blush!
The total cost of a quick job? If you have the face powder, blush, liner and mascara (Which people should be using almost daily) Just $1-2 for the cream shadow!
If we are adding it all up? $8 for all the supplies, and you get.... 50? uses out of it, so $.16 a use!

Meet your New Freinds
Having the right tools is a huge part of pampering yourself. You don't want to use crappy tools, at any cost. So here are a few tools that I've found for the best prices.
1. Make-up Brushes: You would think that to get good brushes, it would cost you upwards of $10 a brush. Nope. Right now, the Dollar Tree is selling E.L.F brushes for $1! I've gotten the all over face brush, the bronzing brush and the "C" shaped eyeshadow brush there. And another great place, the Grocery Outlet. I got the foundation E.L.F brush for 99 cents. In addition, if you want any of their brushes, they are only $3 a piece on their website.I am a huge E.L.F fan, so be prepared to fall in love too!
2. Make-up Remover: Again, another pricy thing. You can buy liquids and cotton balls, you can buy really expensive soaps, or you can drive down to the Dollar Tree and buy their 40 pack of make-up remover wipes. I use these everyday and I have never had an issue with them. Wal Mart has similar products for around $3 as well.
3. Storage: Now this one I'm a little guilty on. My make-up storage trunk cost me $30. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. I also have the Mary Kay roll-up bag which was $35. I do love it though, it has four really big pockets and they all are velcrowed in. Other options do include a basket from any store, a cute bag someone gave you, or you can shop thrift stores and find something you love.
4. Pallets, Pallets, Pallets: Most "pros" do not recommend pallets because you have to buy a new one every time you run out of one color. I love them because all the colors will blend together nicely and you have tons of looks in one place. Want a new one? Go to http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ and type in "27 piece mini collection" at checkout, use the code "BRIDESMAIDS" you'll get the pallet for only the shipping cost, which is $6.95
Stay tuned for the next installment :]
