DIY Lotion Tutorial.....Kinda!

I just wanted to try a DIY lotion tutorial that I had seen on Pinterest.  I don't like how this feels on my hands but I love how it feels on my arms, legs and feet!

The original recipe calls for 1 27 oz bottle of Johnson and Johnson Baby Lotion; 1 7.5 oz Jar of Vaseline and 2 4 oz jars of Vitamin E Facial Moisturizer.

Happy New Year EVERYONE!

This year I want to revamp my YouTube channel and update/use my blog more.  Every time I post a beauty related video, I will also update my blog page.  I have set some realistic goals for myself, my channel and my blog.  I feel that these goals are realistic and very much obtainable.  So here goes!!

2016 Goals

1.  My Best Body - I want to concentrate on being a healthier me.  I want to remove gluten from my diet.  I want to reduce my cholesterol.  I want to do some things to detox my system and any other things that I can do to improve my general health.

2.  Improve my smile - I will be visiting the dentist so that I can improve my smile and boost my confidence so that I can be in front of the camera.

3.  My hand - I have lock thumb.  I made an appointment to have it taken care of in 2015.  But about 2 weeks before my scheduled procedure, the doctor closed his practice.  I have to find a new hand specialist.

4.  My Knee - My knee has been hurting for more than 1 year.  I went to the doctor and he took x-rays.  He said there was nothing wrong with the bone and gave me a  cortizone shot.  My knee still hurts.  So I'll be looking for a new doctor.

5.  Re-Vamp my wardrobe - I've searched different websites and I have complied a list  of essential items that I will in order to achieve this.  This will be for work...to start.

     a.  Black Dress
     b.  Dress Suite (Navy, Black, Gray)
     c.  Versatile Tops
     d.  Versatile Bottoms (Navy, Black, Gray)
     e.  Jacket (Cardigan)
     f.  Black and Nude Pumps (flats)
     g.  Great Bag (Tote/Cross Body)
     h.  Dark Denim  Jeans
     i.  Scarf

6.  Giveaways - So far, I have several planned giveaways.  These may change.

     a.  Nail Care Items
     b.  Foot Care Items
     c.  Facial Care Items
     d.  Makeup Items
     e.  Body Care Items

7.     Signature Scent - I want to find my signature scent for day and evening.  I've picked them out already.  I'll be doing a video on them soon.

8.     Signature Makeup look - I will be developing my signature makeup look.  It will be able to transition from day to evening with minimal effort.

9.     Signature Nude Lip - To be worn alone or with my signature makeup look, my signature nude lip will look great.....day or night!

10.    Beauty DIY Projects - Stay Tuned
