Wire Bracelets From Old Spiral Note books

    The tools you will need are: Pliers, jump rings (optional),old spiral note book wire, beads, & clasp of your choice. First, begin tearing off the unwanted paper from the note book. Once that is done uncoil the wire as straight as possible for beads to slide on. Use your flat pliers to do so.  Then measure enough wire using your wrist to determine the length right for you. Leave enough wire for bending the ends of the wire closed to keep beads on & for attaching jump rings & clasp. Now bead your wire the way you desire. Close off the ends using your needle nose pliers. Finally, add your jump rings & clasp to both ends & you are done. Note: When using thicker wire you can bend in the ends& leave it without adding jump rings & clasps.

Using Milk To Help The Face

     All you will need is milk. Milk helps to soften up the skin. It also helps to get rid of bumps (or) pimples & blemishes. How to use: Use vitamin D milk. It will give you a better result. First, apply milk to face using your hand. Once somewhat dry apply a second coat of milk onto the face. Wait until completely dry. When dry it will feel tight to the face. Let sit on face for 10 minutes after it has dried. Finally, remove with water using your hands. Blot face dry with towel. You will see results in the second or third application.

Tangled Hair

     The product you will use is Olive Oil. Put Olive Oil on dry hair. Leave on for thirty minutes or for an hour. Wash out with a shampoo that does not contain sulfate. Sulfate dries out the hair.

Did You Wake Up Expecting The Best?

     How many times have you gotten up in the morning and did not feel like getting up or just not wanting to do nothing at all? Pull yourself out of that rut! Get up & make your bed, clean your house, get cleaned up, put your best clothes on even if you are just going to the grocery store. Are you expecting the best for yourself ? Shake off that frown! Put all of you in good & being happy & expect the best out of all that seems bad. It may be hard a lot of times to do but dig deep down inside & become determined to have the best & be a better you. Negativity is always around us for now  which  makes it much easier to choose good & do better. Don't make it hard to do better or expect the best.

How To Make Earrings Out Of Bangles

     The tools you will need are: Pliers, Earring Hooks, Jump Rings, & Bangles (old or new). For the new bangles you will need to open your jump ring wide enough to put bangle in. Then, put bangle into the jump ring & slide the earring hook onto the jump ring. Finally, close the jump ring so the two ends of the jump ring meet. Your done with the first one. Now repeat with second bangle then you are done. Note: For old bangles that have lost color use a strip of fabric or ribbon to wrap around the bangle tightly. Cut off excess. Glue the end of fabric onto the bangle. Add your jump ring & earring hook. For leather Liquid Stitch Fabric Glue works best. You can purchase them at Family Dollar & other Craft Stores.

Who Do You See? Words Of Encouragement

     How many times have you looked in the mirror & did not like what you saw? Deep down past the make up & the clothes. The "Real You". Which brings me to this question. Do you love yourself ? Most people do not love themselves due to low self esteem or other things that may bother them. When you look into the mirror who do you see? Do you think you are beautiful? Do you like your weight? Do you have the right clothes? Are you a good person ?  I challenge you to stop looking in that mirror of yours and seeing someone who has no worth. God made us in His image which is full of greatness. That means you have greatness in you. Make steps to change to become a better you. Start loving yourself the way God loves you.
