DIY on the FLY No Sew Tutu Easter Basket

diy_tutu_easter_basket_julee_irelandClick here to watch the video tutorial: https://youtu.be/rDBgYeiuw2g

I love Easter because Spring is officially in the air and bright colored flowers are in full bloom. I also love seeing kids all dressed up in their Easter attire and all of the excitement that the Easter bunny and the Easter egg hunt bring.  For my daughter’s first Easter I started a tradition of making her an Easter basket each year. It is something that we both look forward to. I thought I would show you how to make this adorable removable No Sew tutu Easter basket so you can start a tradition of your own. It is so simple you won’t believe it. Here’s how you make it!

Supplies: Basket (consider upcyling a basket you already have), Tulle, Ribbon, Silk Flowers Hot Glue Gun, Spray Paint (optional), Scissors
Step One: Spray paint your basket your desired color (optional).
Step Two: Cut your 5/8” ribbon your desired length making sure to add extra ribbon to the total length to tie the tutu when around the basket and a waistline when finished. Cut your tulle in assorted colors into 20” x 1.5” strips.
Step Three: Double your strips and loop them around your ribbon, pulling the fabric back through the center and pulling tight. Follow this step around your entire basket.
Step Four: Glue a flower onto the center of your tutu as an embellishment.
Step Five: Tie your darling tutu around your basket and fill it with goodies.

What I love most about this basket besides the fact that it is adorable is that the tutu can be removed and used for play!  It’s a double duty gift that any child can enjoy. Don’t be afraid to get creative and have fun making your tutu Easter basket.

Argan Oils for Hair and Skin is a Moroccan Heritage

 

 

387867_5a8a2293a22343ffb96a67b78725c5d2-1

I recently had the opportunity to try a very luxurious skincare line, Moroccan Heritage. The majority of products in the Moroccan Heritage skincare line consists mainly of various types of oils. Each product is formulated with Vitamin E, Antioxidants, Essential fatty acids and Moroccan Essential oils. The unique blends of Pure Organic oils, Moisturizing Oils, Argania Spinosa Kernal Oils, Barbary Fig Seed Oil (Prickly Pear Seed Oil) and Opuntia Ficus Indica Seed Oils makes this skincare line amazing. I especially like the fact that Moroccan Heritage Skincare is an extremely versatile skincare line where the products can serve multiple purposes. This is an added convenience and a unique one as well.

As stated on their website,  “Moroccan Heritage™ is a beauty and skin care brand created from all natural Moroccan ingredients and century old beauty and skincare practices and traditions.Moroccan Heritage truly lives up to its name as most of the skincare line is manufactured in Morocco.

One of my favorites is the Orange Blossom Water,  a 100% Pure Organic Facial Toner. It is refreshing and invigorating to your skin. I imagine that this will be a staple for me in the summer months. Orange Blossom Water has a light citrus scent and any impurities that are left on your face after cleansing are sure to be removed after its use. I can’t wait to add Orange Blossom Water  to my bath water. You can also add it to your favorite Clay Mask like Ghassoul Clay.

Unlike most skin care, you only need a few small drops of Barbary Fig Seed Oil to moisturize your face and neck for ultra soft and moisturized skin. It won’t feel oily at all. Barbary Fig Seed Oil is an anti-wrinkle oil and works wonders on cuticles, hands and your body.

Argan Oil, another one of my favorites is perfect for your entire body. After applying on my body, I rub a little in my scalp and hair which helps if you have a dry scalp. With this dry cold winter we are having here in New England this year, any moisturizing I can get on my scalp the better. You will also be treating your cuticles and hands. Try covering your feet with socks after applying this therapeutic oil to your heels. You will be amazed at the results. I’ve also noticed immediate results after massaging the Argan Oil on my forearms and legs. They are the driest parts of my body and now they are the softest.

You might be thinking, OK, I don’t want to feel oily or spend time waiting forever to get dressed after applying the oil. That is not the case at all. The only time spent is the time it takes to treat your body to a pure Moroccan Heritage experience.

You can have Beautiful lips With TRUE Isaac Mizrahi

M7g0ARVo

Lip gloss tends to be a vital component for people that love makeup and very recently I have tried TRUE Isaac Mizrahi’s Satin Lip Shine in the shade ‘Rose’. Honestly, I’m not a person that tends to wear lip gloss/Lip shines of any kinds; I usually stick to matte lipstick if anything. But this lip gloss was very different. First off, I loved the smell of the lip shine. It was minty, which is one of my favorite flavors for any lip product because it tastes good, smells good and coming from a person with very sensitive lips/skin, it’s not too minty where it irritates your lips. Usually other lip glosses/shines are just tints That have almost no pigmentation whatsoever, so when I tried this one I was very impressed with the amount of rich color and pigmentation that was in this one particular product.

I tried it on my lips and the color ‘Rose’ is just so beautiful and perfect in my opinion. It is a light dusty pink that can work with any skin tone under the sun! Lastly, one other reason I don’t wear lip gloss too often is because the lip glosses that I have used in the past made my lips peel like crazy. This is because many lip glosses contain harsh ingredients like Menthol, Camphor, and Phenol and these cause your lips to dry out. Instead of those, TRUE Isaac Mizrahi’s Satin Lip Shine contains ingredients that will keep your lips full and soft and NOT dry and chapped. TRUE Isaac Mizrahi’s Satin Lip Shine is perfect your you if you’re looking for smooth beautiful lips!

Aloe twice a day keeps your skin looking gorgeous!

unnamed-4
Every time I see an Aloe plant, I recall being told that if you have a scrape or burn, break a piece of the aloe plant and rub the aloe on your skin for relief. It’s the Aloe Vera that works magic, and I have friends that still use their aloe plants faithfully for minor skin problems. They swear by it. Did you know that Aloe Vera was applied to a sunburn in 1971, long before the term SPF was invented?

With Skincare from Key West Aloe, you will get all the Aloe you need for all of your skincare needs using it just twice a day. One of the gift sets I received this holiday season is Aloe Twice a Day and I took this travel set with me on vacation. The girls and I thoroughly enjoyed each product in the set.

Key West Aloe skincare products are formulated with Lab Certified Aloe Vera. It’s the perfect skincare for starting and ending your day.

Gentle Aloe Facial Cleanser works perfectly with removing makeup and eye make-up. This is a pH-balanced gentle formula with 30% Aloe Vera and is perfect for sensitive skin. Its fresh citrus scent is soothing and refreshing.

Each morning we started with Day Moist. The girls liked it because it helped control shiny skin which is a major factor to consider since they are taking selfies all day long and want to look perfect. The 40% Aloe Vera it contains fully moisturizes and is perfect for normal to oily skin.

We ended the night with Night Moist. After being outside all day and in the sun, Night Moist was the perfect moisturizer with its 80% Aloe Vera. Night Moist is also formulated with antioxidants, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The Oatmeal Facial Scrub was an added treat. Our skin felt amazing after a light scrub of 20% Aloe Vera, Apricot seeds, papaya and apple extracts. Key West Aloe is staying put at my house, and the girls are welcome to share it when they are home. Hands off it for now!

Key West Aloe has an extensive array of products, too many to mention so will have to go to their website and check it out.
