D.I.Y. with olive oil.

Olive oil is an ingredient you can find in many beauty products because it has so many beneficial qualities! Just remember - don't go using any of your expensive olive oils because the cheaper ones work just as well!
 
I found this great D.I.Y. lip balm that I've tested and enjoyed! Try it out and let me know what you think!?
- Two tablespoons of sugar
- Two teaspoons of honey
- One tablespoon of olive oil
- Mix all together and keep in a container in a place thats dry and cool.
This lip balm is really cool because its all natural AND can be made from the ingredients of your own kitchen! I really love how the sugar acts as a light exfoliator on your lips which gets rid of dead skin making your lips much softer, while the olive oil moisturizes your lips giving you a smooth, pouty look!

Olive oil is really great for you hair too, especially if you suffer from heat damage. Whenever I feel my hairs looking a little tired I like to pour a little olive oil into the palm of my hand and carefully spread it out through my hair evenly just before bed (make sure not to get too much of it onto your hairline because the extra oil can cause acne). Then wrap my pillow in a towel so I don't make a mess and voila! The next morning when you wake up, wash your hair and results can be seen immediately, your locks will be shining with new vigor! This is definitely worth trying!
