Hi! Allow me to introduce myself. So I have been a licensed Realtor in NJ since 2004. The post I put up the other day cause some questions from some people. Those who "really" know me, know.

Storing your natural beauty product correctly is a

Storing your natural beauty product correctly is an essential part of the process of going natural. After all, everyone would want to get the most out of everything one creates at home from scratch. Although we have spoken about cleanliness and the importance of choosing the right kind of containers, it is also important to keep in mind about batch sizes. This is especially true if you are creating things such as face masks or scrubs or any other beauty product using food items. I had to call this out here because I have written a lot about ingredients that are easily available in your kitchen and that you can easily mix to create your own skincare products. In some cases, you may refrigerate these mixes and keep using it for a week or so. But in most cases, you won’t be able to use it beyond that. This is an important bit to keep in mind.Photo: @lauramillerofficialClick link in biohttps://femmenaturelle.com/how-to-preserve-homemade-natural-beauty-products/#1femmenaturelle #1fna #naturalbeauty #naturalhair #natural #beauty #homemade #cleanskin #naturalskincare #homebeauty #freshskin #beautiful #gorgeous #loveyourself #beautyproducts

Although this might sound strange, but water is no

Although this might sound strange, but water is not your best friend when you are trying to preserve your homemade beauty products. Bacteria love a wet and damp atmosphere and so does yeast and mold. However, the catch is, many beauty recipes are water based. Think of those with aloe vera gel, witch hazel extract, tea or water infusions, etc. So, when you have to use water, make sure that you use either distilled or boiled water. When using the latter, allow it to cool completely before you add it to any recipe. For aloe vera gel, hydrosols or witch hazel extract, it is better to refrigerate them. Doing so will ensure that they have a longer shelf life. A good idea is to go for smaller batches when you are using water-based recipes. Apart from ensuring that you reduce the chances of the products going bad, you will also have the satisfaction of using a fresher product, and that’s no mean satisfaction at all!Photo: @lauramillerofficialClick link in biohttps://femmenaturelle.com/how-to-preserve-homemade-natural-beauty-products/#1femmenaturelle #1fna #naturalbeauty #naturalhair #natural #beauty #homemade #cleanskin #naturalskincare #homebeauty #freshskin #beautiful #gorgeous #loveyourself #beautyproducts

Their is hardly a point in creating something from scratch only to find that it goes bad in a few days. Here are a few ways to extend the shelf life of your natural recipes and some tips. Disclaimer: I didn’t try all of it but I have researched quite a bit to bring you a few important points.Photo: @lauramillerofficialClick link in biohttps://femmenaturelle.com/how-to-preserve-homemade-natural-beauty-products/#1femmenaturelle #1fna #naturalbeauty #naturalhair #natural #beauty #homemade #cleanskin #naturalskincare #homebeauty #freshskin #beautiful #gorgeous #loveyourself #beautyproducts

The key with credit cards is to respect your limit

The key with credit cards is to respect your limits. Stick with 1-3 credit cards depending on your family needs (one being an emergency credit card) and stay away from store credit cards which are unnecessary in the grand outlook of things. If the goal is to have as little debt as possible, store credit cards are not your friend. There is so much hidden in the fine print, ultimately making these credit cards not worth it. So take a day or an entire weekend to determine the pros and cons of the bank credit card options that you are approved for (interest rates and annual fees vary, for instance) and go from there. Don’t apply for too many credit cards either, just two or three to start, as applying for a credit card may have a minimal negative effect on your credit score. This way, if you only apply for 2-3 credit cards and you are approved for two, you’re all set.Photo: @mr_serran0Click link in biohttps://femmenaturelle.com/how-to-manage-your-credit-cards/#1femmenaturelle #1fna #creditcards #empowerment #finance #money #moneymanagement #selfcontrol #bills #women #bank #credit #work #rewards
