How to upcycle an old fan


Supplies needed:
Acrylic Paint (one color for each panel, optional middle color)
Paint Brush
Fan

It's just as easy as it looks!

Remove the front cage and wash the fan

**MAKE SURE FAN IS UNPLUGGED**

Paint each panel, two coats for lighter colors



The best part is that to dry it you just turn it on :) Different speeds create different effects




Great for kids rooms, experiment with different colors...you can always paint over it

Do It Yourself At-Home Facial Tutorial



These days, it costs an arm and a leg to get a quality spa treatment. By getting some of these products you will save yourself a LOT of money, and be able to pamper yourself more often. 

Below I have provided the steps, products and links where to purchase the products. The end of the post explains the importance of each product!

OKAY, let's get started:

Begin by preheating the facial spa 


You can purchase the product above HERE for just $23

*Another way to get similar results is to boil a pan of water



While your water is preheating, wash your face with your normal cleanser, preferably an exfoliating product

Now, steam your face for 15 minutes



When your time is up, dab your face dry with a towel and apply the masque immediately to your face and neck...never neglect your neck

You can purchase these products HERE for about $8

You want to apply the masque in circular motions in various directions, making sure that you get the product into each pore and line in your skin



Now wait 15-20 minutes while the masque dries and hardens

You will begin to feel disgusting as the Mint Julep pulls out the nastiness from your face

*This is also a great time to apply cucumbers to your eyes to eliminate tired eyes



Now, take a small towel and get it wet with hot water. Being to wash off the masque this way, rubbing somewhat hard to make sure you get it all off

After it's all been washed away, disgard the towel and change the water to cold and instantly splash your face with cold water a few times! Pat dry with towel

Now it's time to exfoliate AGAIN with your cleanser

Follow this by yet again splashing your face with cold water, and then apply the miracle product...ROSEWATER as a toner

You can buy this product HERE for just $4

Let the Rosewater sit for a few minutes, and then apply and oil-free moisturizer

There you have it...at-home facial that is of spa quality. Your skin will be glowing and SUPER soft!

If you try this at home, please comment and let me know your rating of it on a scale of 1-10 :)

Now, some frequently asked questions...

Why Purchase a Facial Steamer?

Steam helps to loosen the cellular cement that binds too many dead skin cells to the surface of skin. The steam also softens blackhead plugs so they will easily and gently release from the follicular opening. The buildup of sebum inside the follicle can then flow naturally.

Why are those two Masques recommended? 

Mint julep masque is the original natural home treatment developed by a dermatologist that helps dry up acne pimples, rinse away blackheads and shrink enlarged pores. Simply apply mint julep masque to your clean face and neck. Within minutes it firms and hardens, drawing out impurities from your pores. After the masque is removed, your skin will feel clean, refreshed and smooth

Mud pack masque is the original old-fashioned, time-tested earth facial treatment with imported natural English clay that works wonders for your skin. It's not only an effective pore cleanser, but also helps tighten loose, sagging skin on your face and neck and relaxes tired facial muscles to soften lines and wrinkles. It helps you look your best and your complexion will have a clearer, smoother, more youthful looking appearance.

What is Rosewater and how will it help my skin?

Rose water is a byproduct of steam distillation, the process that's used to isolate the plant's essential oil. Some of your beauty products probably contain rose water, but you might want to consider adding a bottle of this ingredient in its pure form to your bathroom inventory, too.
One of the main benefits of rose water is that it acts as an anti-inflammatory, soothing irritated skin. Some people also use roses as a rich source of antioxidants, which can help strengthen skin cells and regenerate skin tissue. These properties, proponents believe, make rose water particularly beneficial to people with sensitive skin.
