What you will need:
- vaseline, cocao butter, something you like
- old lipstick
- a container to put your lip butter in.

Put 1/3 lipstick in the container and 2/3 vaseline in the container and heat it in the microwave til it melts. Mix everything well and put it for a couple hours in the freezer. If you don't own a microwave or your to lazy to go downstairs, there is an another option, your straightener. When you want to use these methode you have to put your things in a metal container, you can also work with a spoon or something. Be aware, this is gonna be messy. Use several colours, be creative!

RE-USE YOUR OLD THINGS
ohh you can make so many new things out of your old, put away, probably hidden 'junk'.
-For example all your dad old t-shirts/sweaters, it's a gold mine. You can make crop tops, dresses, sleeveless tops, cut out t-shirts (allot of different designs).
   (cut out skull tshirt)
-Jewerly. Search your grandmas, aunts, mothers jewerlycase and be suprised what you will find. You can also repaint your jewerly with nailpolish to shake it up a bit.
- Cut well fitted jeans/pants into shorts!
- Get started with studding, Stud everything.
- paint a cool design on your old allstars.
- start bleaching things, jeans, shorts, jeanjackets. You can also make a galaxy print with bleach on black fabric.
- Can you not choose which nailcolor to put on or just can not find the right color in your collection of over the hunderd colors, create a new one with the colours you already own.

Well get started!

FUTURAMA



Tumblr_lxvy8v58wo1qzcwzbo1_500_large

The future, plans, planning, the path of your life, destiny. In how many ways can you describe this and what has it in store for you? This all is so blurry, when do you make the choice that will define your whole life, decide the path that you will lead and how can you reconize such a big thing?
Another 'Question Of Life' and there is like always no answer to this, maybe a better explanation, I can't find an answer. I came to this subject because in this period I had allot of decisions to make, school, personal life and my *caugh* financial situation...
What I've learned from this experiance is that you can't predict everything. You can not plan everything. You  can preticipate for something to happen or could keep in mind that the decision has to be made but again you cannot plan the future. Ofcourse there will be things that has to happen in your life and there is no denying to it. Hmm the best solution that I could think of; don't get stuck in the decisions that you've made earlier in your life, the good and the bad. The bad; the easiest excuse to blame all the bad luck in your life and the main reason you can not explore the rest of your life. The good; You may think this can't hold you back in going further. When something or a period in your life is going so well, you can get stuck in this 'flow'. It's a mean thing because you don't expect this from a good experience. The most scariest thing about this is that you don't look further because you're so happy.
This does not apply for all people but this is what i've experienced.

hmmm this is an another blog about a the 'Question Of Life'. Maybe I should start a mini blogserie ;)
