Next up we have an all natural pick me up spray. Ever feel like you are lacking motivation and energy. Do you tend to hit that 2PM midday slump? Mix up a bottle of this to keep with you and spray on when you hit that slump for a pick me up. The other way I like to use this is spray it into the ends of your hair for a pick me up that last throughout the day!

Finally, if you are like me you rarely clean your makeup brushes. But lets face it ladies, you need to keep those brushes clean to help keep your skin as clean as possible. So for our final recipe today, I have a quick, easy, and affordable make up brush cleaner.

Make Up Brush Cleaner
