Scratch and Sniff Paint

I saw this recipe for paint that is scratch and sniff

You take 1 package of Kool aid (generic will do) add 1 tbs water. You can paint with it and it smells good.

This could be some cheap rainy day fun! Be aware that it may stain so be careful with it.

Cheap Beauty Tricks

Hair

Rinse your hair with apple cider vinegar. This clarifies and makes it shiny.
I found this about washing hair too much. You could use corn starch that all baby powder is.
"Most women only need to wash their hair every other day. Not only does this save on shampoo, but it also keeps your hair healthier since overwashing can dry it out. Pat baby powder on your roots to absorb any oil in between sessions." —Bumble and Bumble hairstylist Dennis Lanni

Facial

Brown Sugar and Milk Mask

1/4 cup brown sugar
1 - 2 tbsp milk, anything but skim

Mix the two ingredients well. Apply to freshly cleaned face and massage gently for a full minute - leave on for 15 minutes. Wash off with warm water and pat dry.
