Homemade Sunscreen

Ok I have been seeing so many recipes for homemade sunscreens all over Pinterest so I decided to try it. I found a really good recipe from Stephanie owner of Keeper of the Home blog  here  WOW I'm very happy with this sunscreen! You have to try it :) I made it exactly as she did. It only took just a few minutes of my time.

Ingredients for Sunscreen Lotion With SPF 30: 

•  2 Tbsp. beeswax granules/pastilles (1/2 oz.)
•  1/4 cup shea butter (2 oz.) 
•  1/4 cup coconut oil (2 oz.) 2 Tbsp. zinc oxide powder (1 oz.)

 Now I very easily found all these products on Amazon. 

Ingredients

I put a pot with water on the stove then put a mixing bowl in the pot to make a like a double boiler added the shea butter, coconut oil and beeswax to the bowl. I stirred until it was a blended and melted.Removed the bowl and put it on a folded towel on the counter then added the zinc oxide powder. I used a hand mixer to blend till all was smooth I poured it into an 8oz mason jar and let cool. It smells heavenly and very good for your skin.

Quick Fix For Broken Pants Zipper

I don't know about you but I hate when my zipper breaks on my jeans. Its going to cost more to fix it than I paid for the jeans!! So I came up with this "quick fix" the other day and it work great YAY! I went to the Dollar General found heavy duty Velcro strips for a dollar. I took my jeans and cut the strip to fit the inside of zipper. I attached one on each side and WAAAALAAAA Now you can wear your jeans again. It worked perfectly :)
