DIY All-Purpose Cleaner

I enjoy having a clean house. I hate clutter and love the smell of "clean." My husband often makes fun of me because I clean so much. I enjoy it, it calms me! You might be wondering what I clean with and I have to admit that I have used multiple cleaning products found at stores like Target, however, I don't like to use harsh chemicals (they make me cough and I often am afraid when spraying them around the kitchen). Which is why...wait for it...I decided to finally make my own All-Purpose Cleaner. I saved an empty cleaning bottle, and the rest of the items I had on hand (which I love!!!). Another great thing about this DIY All Purpose Cleaner is that it costs very little and you don't have to worry about using it around the kitchen or if you have little kiddies. 

Here is what you need:

Spray bottle (I used the basic size cleaning bottle)

4 cups water

1/8 cup baking soda

1/4 cup vinegar

Combine baking soda and vinegar in bottle and fill the rest with the water (I believe I used about 3 3/4 cups water). Shake and use! 

Don't spend money on those chemical cleaners when you have all the key cleaning ingredients already in your home! Now go clean something!

Enjoy!

It is essential to clean your makeup brushes. Otherwise they just get plain nasty, let's be honest here. I found that using my foundation brush and powder brush everyday, it is best to clean them about every week (if I remember). It is quick to do and essential to applying flawless makeup.

I have tried a few different types of cleaners for my brushes and of course I like the kind where I make it myself with normal ingredients I always have on hand.

For my cleaner I use:
  1 cup warm water
  1/8 cup white vinegar
  1 tsp. dish soap

             Mix ingredients together in a bowl and swirl brushes until clean. Rinse with water and dry on a towel. Remember that it does take time for your brushes to dry after you've cleaned them, so clean them after you've put on your makeup for the day in order for you to use them again the next day.
