stretch your shoes with ice :)

every bought shoes are too small? 
try stretching them with ice.


all you need:
two plastic bags

 fill 1/4 with water

insert them in your shoes. this method works best on leather shoes

place the shoes in the freezer (freeze it until it turns into ice)

check the water if it's fully harden ice


leave it out to thaw for 20 minutes

time is up! remove the ice bags. It should slide right out!

this method can stretch the shoes out to a half or a maximum of one full size

wipe them dry (a little bit of water should not damage the shoes)

Finnish!

try them on to see if it fit
it should feel nice and snag

so if you see a good pair of shoes but bad it's too small, go ahead and get them, you can make it fit.

Good luck

how to clean your brushes


washing brushes = washing face

washing your brushes is very important because you have all the oils, old make up, the sebum, dirt, it's all trapped on an uncleaned brush. the next day of applying it on your face again your applying all that germ, all that bacteria back on your face and you can actually breakout from that ( it always happens to me, and this is a lesson learned ^_-) so washing your brushes is extremely important.

i'm gonna show you how to properly wash and care for your brushes and disinfect it too. 
this method is used by painters and it works extremely well :)

the supplies are super easy and extremely inexpensive

anti-bacterial dish-washing liquid 
it removes every single thing on your brush. it removes pigments, removes oil, removes dirt and it also kills bacteria so it does all in one. dishwashing liquid will dry the hair of its natural oil and it's gonna dry out the hair.

  virgin coconut oil
or you may use virgin olive oil

so you want to recondition your brush so that's where virgin coconut oil comes in it.

  wired hanger
wooden clips or plastic clips


let's get started ^_^ 

pour the dishwashing liquid in the plate 

pour just a little bit of virgin coconut oil

 stir the brush in  a circular motion



 wipe it back and forth on your hand
you are removing all pigments and killing bacteria



rinse your brushes
warm water is fine (hot water will damage the brush)
squeeze out until the water is clear

now that you brushes are clean you just gonna wipe them dry with a paper towel
blot out excess water with a paper towel


 dry your brushes upside down
clip your brush in place
you can put them on your bathroom

after a couple of hours
let's check your brushes if they are totally dry :)



  and wow... look at how clean my brushes are now!!!





good luck

and let it rain and clear it out

Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him. 
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how can still come out of it. When life offers you a dream so far beyond your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
