Kids

Two Ingredient Sensory Play Putty

Wednesday, January 20, 2016

My kids love this easy D.I.Y. sensory play putty, made with two ingredients you already have in your kitchen.

2 Tablespoons of Dishwashing Liquid

4 Tablespoons of Corn Flour

Teaspoon

Bowl

Add the dishwashing liquid and corn flour into the bowl.

Mix together with the teaspoon.

Start kneading until you have the right consistency.

Voila. You are done.

**TIP** If the mixture is too runny add more cornflour and if the mixture is to dry add more dishwashing liquid. I used blue dishwashing liquid but you can use any brand or colour you like.

I would love to hear from you. If you like this post please comment and share.

Series - 5 Affordable Beauty Products at Clicks

Monday, January 18, 2016

I'd like to share with you 5 affordable beauty products that actually work.

#1 SALON SKIN DAILY SKIN POLISH POWDER

This exfoliator from Sorbet is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Instead of using micro beads that harm your skin this is a powder that you mix with water to exfoliate your face and neck. If used sparingly it should last you about 2-3 months.

Price: R220.00

#2 CARIBBEAN TAN BODY SHIMMER CREAM

I have been using this product for the past 10 years and I cannot live without it... It makes your legs look like a supermodels'. You can wear it when you are going out or like me everyday. (be sure to wash your hands with soap directly after use and wait for it to dry before putting your clothes on.)

Price: R49.95

#3 LEE STRAFFORD BLEACH BLONDES SHAMPOO

If you bleach or hi-light your hair you have to get this product, unlike other silver/purple shampoos this one has a pink undertone and your hair doesn't come out grey with a blue shades. I have tried every professional brand of toner shampoo on the market and this one is definitely my favourite for a fraction of the price.

Price: R109.95

#4 ECO-TOOLS MAKE-UP BRUSHES

There is nothing I hate more than applying foundation and ending up with hair bristles on my face. Yes, you can go to MAC and buy brushes for about R500.00 each or you can try eco-tools which are earth friendly plus as an added bonus they never lose their hair.

Price: from R49.00

#5 TRESemme INSTANT REFRESH DRY SHAMPOO

We all know our hair will be healthier if we can skip a few days of blow drying... but no one wants to walk around looking like they were frying donuts in their sleep.

I use this dry shampoo every second day in between washes for oil control because it is translucent brunettes can use it too.

Price: R54.95
