Cleaning nail polish from carpet

1
Mistakes happen. When you’ve just spilled a bold colored nail polish on the floor, it probably seems like things can’t get much worse. If you’re stuck in this clean up situation, don’t despair, here’s how to handle it:
Absorb as much of the polish puddle with a paper towel as possible-ensure you’re blotting not rubbing, which will set it in and spread it around.

Then get an old towel and blot the carpet using some acetone remover on the towel. If you’ve gotten the stain saturated with the acetone, use a dry part of the towel to press hard atop the stain. Ideally a lot of the color will be extracted thanks to the acetone treatment.


Once the towel isn’t picking up colour any longer, use a traditional carpet cleaner to finish things off.

2014’s Makeup Trends

We’re nothing if not lovers of all things beauty-and makeup is a huge part of that.  A quick flip through a magazine, or a few moments browsing on pinterest and you’re sure to find heaps of inspiration. Here’s the makeup trends of 2014 that have caught our eye so far:

Orange lips- a trend that we saw pop up at the end of 2013, it appears orange lips are here to stay for awhile. A fun and flirty way to mix things up from the traditional red or pink lip.

Blue of a certain hue- We mentioned it being a great color for brown eyed beauties, but cobalt blue eye shadow (and liner) have been popping up everywhere. It’s undoubtedly this season’s trendiest color- so deep and moody!


Petal pink lids- a light pink eye shadow, no liner, and mascara gives an amazing soft ethereal look.

Brown Eyed Beauties


There is something so lovely about a pair of chocolaty brown eyes. So sweet and seductive, you should play into that! Here are a few eye shadow options that are perfect for the brown eyed beauties out there.

Because your brown eyes are mix of all the primary colors, you’re lucky to have lots of option! For a fun change, a vibrant blue shadow (like cobalt blue) will bring out the richness in dark brown eyes, and will really help them to pop.


Try applying eggplant colored mascara next time you’re headed out for the night. The purple shade enhances your brown eyes and makes the whites of your eyes look whiter. Other great options include green, gold, or copper shadow. The warm metallic colors make brown eyes glisten and highlight a hint of sparkle.

Beauty Myth De-bunked

Have you ever heard the myth that eating chocolate gives you skin spots? If so, we’re guessing you’ve wondered if it’s true. Who could say such shocking things about chocolate!


Plenty of studies have shown that there is no direct link between chocolate consumption and pimples (whew!) yet it could be the sugar to blame. Dermatologists now believe that rapid fluctuations in blood sugar levels affect the function of sebaceous glands, which could potentially cause acne.

Detox Bath

Have you ever tried a detoxifying bath at home? It’s soothing and easy- making for a great way to incorporate a little ‘self care’ into your evening.

To begin: Fill half your bathtub with warm water. Add 1 cup of Epsom salts and 1 cup of apple cider vinegar to the water. This combination will draw dirt and grime from your pores and also works to relieve joint pain.


Try lighting a candle and dimming the lights to increase your level of relaxation. Ahhh, does a body good.
