10 Vaseline hacks that you should know.

Hey there

We have all grown up using vaseline in one way or another. Either as babies or before we knew about lotions and creams. If you are a mom you know that vaseline can be used to prevent diaper rash.If you have had a common cold you know that vaseline is applied on the nose to prevent your nose from getting sore. You also know that when you cut or burn yourself in the kitchen you apply vaseline on the affected area to prevent infection. This shows that indeed vaselise is a 'power jelly'

However, there are other several uses of VASELINE that you may or may not know.

1. Removing matte lipstick

If you have tried using huddah,sleek, black opal,kylie and afeiya matte lipsticks/ lipgloss (among others), you will know that they are sticky and stubborn to come off. Simply apply vaseline on your lips then use a cloth or tissue to wipe it off, the lipstick clears intantly.

2.Vaseline as a  Facial moisturizer.

No, vaseline does not clog pores. It is a non- comedogenic (meaning it does not cause black heads by blocking the pores of the skin) and is very effective in moisturizing your face.

3.Vaseline for eyebrows

For eyebrows that require a trim or get unruly, dab a little vaseline on each brow to keep them in line.

4. Vaseline as a eyelash glue remover.

If you are a fan of adding false lashes to your real ones, avoid pulling off the real ones when getting the false ones out. Dab a little vaseline on your thumb and use it to unstick the glue.

5. Extend perfume/ deodorant staying power.

If you sweat a  lot or your perfume just won't stay for as long as you want it to, apply a little vaseline on the area e.g wrist, neck, armpits depends on you.

6. To open nail polish when the lid is stuck

When you use your favourite polish and find it hard to open it the next time, apply a little vaseline on the lid after using it. This will make it easier to open it the next time. This applies to all things with screw lids.

7. To remove candle wax stains

Candle wax stains can be irritating. Apply some vaseline on the candle wax stained surface, let it sink in for a minute or two then wipe off with a cloth.

8. Vaseline to treat dry feet.

Vaseline is excellent in treating dry feet and cracked heels. Rub your feet with vaseline and put on a pair of socks overnight. Your feet will be very soft.

9. Softens dry and cracked elbows.

Rub a small amount of vaseline on your elbows to keep them soft.

10. To treat dry lips

Rub a small amount of vaseline on your lips to prevent them from drying out or cracking. It works wonders.


*I have been using vaseline baby jelly for a very long time for my face. It's my little secret for a flawless skin. 

I hope you get to try one or two vaseline hacks!!

Lots of love,
Mesh.

5 BABY LOCS STYLES

Hello peeps. I must admit this rain and the cold got me really bad. My fingers get numb everytime I start typing. Just kidding. I missed you anyway. So this past two days I have been having a rough time trying to keep my baby locs down. I know, they just want to stay up. So I came up with a few styles to get you through the awkward stages of baby locs.  This is a simple style.Just hold up a few locs at the back then use a head band to hold them in place.You don't have to stress over your one month or two months old locs.   Another style for baby locs is the mohawk. This one is pretty simple too and will go with any outfit for many ocassions.  Another style is using head bands to accesorize. You can have them in different colours. This will go well with starter locs.  You can  also use  a head band with a bow to add style to your locs. Especially if you have thick hair or locs.   You can also simply put a flower on the side to bring a simple ...

How to remove dark spots and make your skin tone even.

Hey good people! We all want that beautiful skin right? We constantly visit the stores looking for skin lighteners,scrubs,cleansers and we end up getting frustrated when they don't work to our expectations. Well, I have some good news for you. Potato. Yes,potato. It has a property that is capable of making your skin tone even, free of acne and clearing dark spots. So take a potato and grate it, sing the finer side. You want to get as much juice as possible.   The end result will look like this. Pour it in a small bowl, slice a lemon into two and squeeze it in to form a mixture.   Apply the mixture on the prefered area. Face, neck, hands,dark thighs and dark knuckles snd let it sit for 30 minutes then wash off with cold water. Apply twice a week for better results. This works 100%. It is safe and natural. NB*: If your skin is sensitive use honey instead of lemon.   Click here to watch the video

HOW TO STYLE YOUR NATURAL HAIR

Hello there. When I styled my natural hair for the first time, it was very fulfilling to accept and embrace it.

Well, sometimes we have limited styles to try on natural hair and I am here to help you add to your favourite style so that you can have a variety to choose from the next time you want to style your hair. My personal favourite, and my first ever natural hair style that actually made sense is this : It was inspired by this one and I guess I nailed it, don't  you think? hehe. Anyway, this one is good especially with short and medium hair. It will add length and volume to your hair.Use a slim head band to make a wide bun.Then tuck in the hairs on the bun using a pattern of your choice. *  This one is a simple one t...
