I think the two most essential things that we take for granted is oxygen and water. These two things are what make everything possible yet sometimes, we neglect them. Oxygen is inevitable, but water is a commitment that people hardly take.



Water intake is so important and we don't take it seriously until it is evident to us that we're dehydrated. Here are few signs of dehydration:

1. Dry Mouth
2. Dry Eyes
3. Dry Skin
4. Dry Lips
5. Heavily Pigmented Urine if able to urinate 

Make up brushes are expensive. They range from the cheap $3 to the outrageous $50 and more if you're investing in a long lasting one. Regardless, you want your favorite make up brushes to last. And the way to keep them up to par, you've got to clean them regularly.



If you leave your makeup brushes out in the open, it's probably best if you clean your brushes once or twice a week because you can get breakouts from applying your product with dirty brushes. This doesn't mean your brushes are muddy or dusty, but they can definitely catch onto bacteria floating around that can cause your skin to act up.

Some people do it probably and buy make up brush cleansers, but for the girls who just can't bother to go buy some more, we'll see how to do it with things that you could have lying around in your very own home.

Today, we've brought together some goods that will keep your brush clean, soft, and smelling good.

Our recipe requires:
1 Clean Paper Plate
2 Parts Shampoo - I used Tresemme's Smooth and Silky Shampoo (Target)
1 Part Olive Oil - I used Kirkland's Pure Olive Oil (Costco)


Simple as that! Of course, you'll need some running water to prep and rinse the brush. I mentioned that you'll be measuring in parts depending on how many brushes you're cleaning and how big the brushes are.

Step 1 - Wet your make up brush in a downwards way so the water doesn't go into the brush handle and loosen the glue that keeps the brush hairs on.



Step 2 - Using the brush, mix the recipe of shampoo and olive oil on a clean paper plate.



Step 3 - Start brushing your brush along a clean plate to move off all the excess debris. Remember, don't push straight down on the bristles because that could damage the shape and hold of your brushes.



Step 4 - Rinse, again with water running down the brush hairs.

Step 5 - Reshape your brush with a tissue.



Step 6 - Prop the brush to dry against a wall or box with the tissue under to keep it from getting dirty. You prop it up so the water doesn't run down into the brush handle and loosen all the glue that keeps your brush hairs on!

Note: Olive oil is used in this recipe to soften the brush hairs and to control stragglers while the shampoo is used to simply clean off the dirt and product that you have on it.

And voila! Your brushes are clean and you still have a wad of cash that you can save for a slice of pizza later. Let us know how your brushes turned out and if you have any better options we could try for our next post! With much love, WCETVeShop.

Now, I'm going to be honest... I don't know how to put on nail varnishes correctly, but I did my best for this one! Nail polish has always been fascinating to me, but in a traditional household, anything that alters your appearance was known to be a bad thing. And yes, that included painting my nails!

Although the traditional love for the natural body has grown on me, I can't help but enjoy make up and other beauty products that help show off the great parts about the face, and in this case, the nails. To me, make up and other beauty products are used to accentuate the best part of your face/body or creates a painting out of the blank canvas that we call bodies.

Nails are a mini canvas of it's own. People can do amazing things with their nails and if you can't, you can always pay a price or get the stick on ones. But this time, I thought I'd try it out on my own (you know, practice makes perfect!)



Okay, maybe I shouldn't have done it on my own for obvious reasons... but it was surprisingly better than I thought it would be. The formula made it easy to glide across my nail easy and without too much streaks. It only turned out to be streaky when I didn't have enough polish on the brush.

In the picture, you can see that aside from my messiness, the white was extremely pigmented. When I pick nail polishes, I usually stick to the plain yet chic white. Other polishes had nowhere near the same pigmentation. My nails in the pictures is with only one coat. It took a few times to get the right amount of polish on the brush, but when I did get it right it turned out better than I could have imagined!

And note, it's best to use non-acetone nail polish remover because it's less drying on the cuticles/skin and doesn't make your natural nails brittle. If you're using hard to get off nail polish like the ones with glitter, it might be better to use acetone nail polish, but beware! Keep it away from your skin and cuticles. You could avoid getting the acetone onto your cuticles by using a cotton swab for more accurate target.

Enough about my failed manicure, I really want to see some of yours! Comment and link down below some of your pictures or tutorials on how to do it the right way!

Good evening everyone! I'm sure all of us are glad the weekend is upon us and we get an extra day off for Veteran's Day (thank you for your service, veterans)! As the long week has winded down, it's time for us to pamper ourselves to rejuvenate and to gather our energy back to our bodies.

I'm constantly looking for a good pamper routine that will brighten, smooth, cool, and soothe my face after a busy week and I want a routine that won't take too much work or take too much time because let's face it, our long weekend is really going to be full of Netflix and chowing down on some cravings developed over the week.

As the holidays are coming up, I decided to do a little themed post on travel necessities for all of you who are heading home or going away! Today's focus is on the must of all must haves: the suitcase.

Rioni's Signature Brown Small Suitcase is amazing. I took it with me on a trip to Taiwan last year. Even through the rain, the two fourteen hour air trips, and the banging against elevator doors, it has survived and is still in pristine condition.

Now that we know it's tough enough to go through all of that damage, let's talk about its features. It has 360 degree wheel turning capabilities, which we always know is the best. It includes two pockets on the front, straps to secure your belongings on the inside, and a pocket inside secured with a flap.

Although this suitcase is secure, tough, and stylish, it's something you can only take for a 5-7 day trip depending on how much you're going to bring. It doesn't have an expandable zipper so you would have to order a larger one for longer trips! Check out more details on the store website here.
