Beauty Treatments and Tea...!

Our creative arts class wanted a relaxing afternoon on the 29th of September so we decided to do DIY beauty treatments. 

Our teacher Ms Dunne found face masks to make with only using the following ingredients : Banana, Avocado, Honey, Greek yogurt, Oats and Cacao powder. 

There was an option of five masks we could make. The steps were really easy and they smelt really good ( ….even good enough to eat!).

 We applied the mask to ourselves and others creating our own mini spa with tea and having chats. It left our skin smooth and smelling good.

Some people preferred to do a lip scrub and hair mask these were used with the same ingredients but we added in coconut oil and sugar. The lip scrub was used as a DIY lip exfoliator which removes the dry flakiness of your lips and makes them smooth and keeps your lipstick on for longer. 

 

Tie Dye Thursday!

Our first Creative Arts class we did tie dye. We were told to bring in a white 100% cotton items like a pillow case or top. 

We got a hand out of what type of design we wanted like the bull’s-eye pattern, the spiral and many more.  

We made the dye which consisted of 100 grams coloured dye powder, 10 grams of table salt and 200 ml of warm water. 

We then wrapped rubber bands on our item in the area we wanted to be white and to create the wanted design. We then headed outside to pour the dye on certain areas with certain colours. 

We left them for a week to dry off and soak up the colour. On the following Thursday we washed them with cold water and took pictures.
