Spearmint is a natural remedy for bad breath

Next time you need to refreshen your breath chew on 1-2 spearmint leaves. Spearmint is an herb which you can easily grow in your garden or even in a pot. Every morning cut off a few leaves and put in a pill case to carry with you. Instead of reaching for commercial breath fresheners full of unhealthy chemicals just pull 1-2 spearmint leaves from your pill case and chew on them.

How to clean your makeup brushes

Make up brushes, applicators and sponges are a breading ground for bacteria. Stop putting germs on your gorgeous complexion and start cleaning regularly! Rinse all your make up tools with warm water then lather up with a gentle shampoo. Rinse until the water runs clear and all traces of make up have been removed. Pat them dry gently with a clean towel, then air dry.
