Minimal Makeup for Fall

Tod is back and better than ever in a brand new tutorial featuring fresh skin, a softly shaded eye and peachy everything else.  This is a light, almost no-makeup makeup look that takes five minutes and makes her look more awake, put together and fresh.

September will always feel like the start of a new year, so I'm on a mission to reorganize my life -- decluttering, streamlining, routine-ing, you name it, I've got a plan for it.

Who's ready to start fresh?

DIY: Saltwater Toner

My brother was browsing my YouTube channel the other day and came across my Tanda Zap review.  He's a longtime sufferer of acne -- two rounds of accutane, antibiotics, prescribed topical mediaction, you name it, he's done it.  He's started getting his skin relatively under control in the past few years, and this is a tip he's shared with me several times.

When I was a kid and got canker sores in my mouth, my mom would force me to swish my mouth out with saltwater.  Salt is a natural antiseptic, striking fear into the hearts of bacteria and other microbial beings.  I finally tried it as a beauty remedy, and it's pretty magical.  Tod will show you!

Other ways to use:

• Spot treatment -- you could add a few drops of tea tree oil to help treat surface blemishes
• Mouthwash -- add a few drops of peppermint oil for flavour
• Hair rinse -- not recommended for coloured hair, but I occasionally will rinse my hair with saltwater to give it a little beachiness when it air dries.
