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 ...

What is the difference between dreadlocs,sisterlocs and brotherlocs?

DREADLOCS Dreadlocs are simply hair that has been matted together and can be formed using various methods. SISTERLOCS They are smaller than dreadlocs and their installation takes longer than that of dreadlocs.Probably twice or thrice longer. BROTHERLOCS Brotherlocs are similar to sisterlocs but are a bit larger although smaller than traditional locs. Can you unlock dreadlocs,sisterlocs and brotherlocs? Some people claim its possible but in real sense its difficult and leads to too much breakage.Most people just chop off their locs when they don't want them anymore. So what kind of locs do you have? Stay blessed!
