The Best Detox Water for a Smaller Waistline
I used to work in a restaurant where my diet consisted mostly of carbs, particularly pizza. This is when I started to notice how THICK my waist had gotten. It wasn’t fat, it was just thick. That’s when a girl I worked with recommended a detox water that helped her lose 10 pounds in one week! I’m not one to pass up a quick and easy weight loss trick. And I really liked that you can still eat normal while you’re drinking this detox water, as opposed to starving yourself (It takes more than a cube of cheese to keep me from fainting).

How to Fail a DIY Face Mask Like a Pro
I had a few days off recently, so I thought I’d try to make a DIY face mask. I always see a bunch on Pinterest and think to myself “Well, those look easy to make. Plus they say it works, so it must be good”. Except when I made my own DIY face mask, it was NOT good. I have acne prone skin, and I kept seeing a pin for baking soda masks that work wonders. So while I was bored at home, I decided to dig out the ingredients to make my own DIY face mask.

How to Shop for a Toilet Like a Boss
There was another homeowner lesson this weekend in our household. We had a leaking toilet (Or so we thought). However, when we tried to replace the wax ring, we quickly discovered that our toilet tank was cracked. Which is how we decided to shop for a toilet on a Sunday.

There are SO MANY different kinds and they’re not at eye-level for you to get a good look at them. How are you supposed…
