Helping your kids come up with a fun Valentine's gift that doesn't involve a cheesy mug is hard.  So instead, we roll with it by filling those mugs with delicious and infinitely adaptable chocolate-dipped pretzel rods.

Because if there's anything better than a mug of coffee with chocolatey pretzels on the side, well... I seriously doubt it.

Ingredients

Pretzel Rods
Chocolate chips...

I confessed in our Beauty DIY article on creating nail polishes that I am a huge makeup hoarder, and being a makeup hoarder comes with a load of issues. I compile useless makeup with no purpose and this is spread out everywhere, like literally, everywhere. This makes it difficult to accomplish my beauty routine. Searching through a big bin of makeup with one hand still wet with polish while...

Last week we gave you an easy DIY for a homemade toner. Hopefully you've been loving the toner and the glowing skin you're getting from it! The recipe makes enough for a small bottle with a little leftover, so if you're looking for an easy way to use up what's left, why not try a scrub?

I have a secret: I am a huge make up hoarder. I have buckets of lipsticks, powders and eyeliners from years past (which I am fairly certain means they are expired). For reasons beyond me, I also keep every single eyeshadow I have ever been given or bought, whether I use them or not.
