This Chicken Broccoli Alfredo is easy, easy, easy! Easy to put together, and easy to cook! My favourite kind of meal. 🙂 It’s a family-friendly meal that goes from the freezer to the slow cooker, making dinnertime a breeze. The recipe calls for a bag of frozen broccoli, but I find a bag of broccoli and cauliflower is just as good! It’s delicious served over pasta or rice.

7 Creative Beauty Hacks

Take a look at these 7 creative beauty hacks that you can start implementing into your daily beauty routine today!

1. Use your lipstick as blush.

Many blushes are of the creamy variety these days, much like lipstick. When you're in a bind you can use lipstick as blush just as easily! Start small as it is easier to add then to take away. Just dap a little lipstick on your fingertips and blend into the apples of your cheeks. Perfect!

2. Use Dawn dish soap to clean brushes.

Dawn dish soap is gentle on your brushes yet still cleans away make up, grease, and bacteria. Create a dish of warm soapy water, let your brushes soak for a few minutes, then rinse clean and allow to air dry.

3. Dry nails with ice.

A quick way to set nail polish is to dip your fingers in a bowl of ice water. The nail polish will quickly  harden, reducing your drying time drastically. The polish may still be soft to the touch, so take caution. It will however be dry to the touch and won’t transfer.

4. Make faux eyelashes last longer by cutting them.

Chances are, faux eyelashes are too long for your eyelids. Instead, snip them in half and just use the segments on the outer corners of your eyes. Not only will you get two pairs out of one, but you might find this method looks more natural.

5. Behold the power of coconut oil.

Coconut oil is fantastic for removing eye make up, moisturizing skin, soothing rough feet and elbows, and it can even be added to your hair conditioner. Keep a jar of coconut oil on hand for these beauty uses and many others!

6. Reduce eye puffiness with hemorrhoid cream.

This is an old beauty pageant trick that works great! Add a few dabs under puffy eyes in order to soothe swelling and reduce redness. You will notice results quite quickly. Just take care to avoid getting any of the product in your eyes.

7. Use lemon juice.

Lemon juice can help lighten and brighten skin, lighten and brighten nails, and even lighten hair. Add a few drops to your moisturizer or hair products to achieve these results over time.

Keep these creative beauty hacks in mind when performing your daily beauty routine. You should find that they can come in handy often!
