DIY First Aid Kit


Have you ever purchased a First Aid Kit (expensive by the way) only to find out it have hundreds of bandages inside. When you are a mommy, college student or just want to be one step ahead you are going to have to make your own first aid kit. 

So I made a bit of research of some basic things you need to have in your medicine cabinet: 


  1. Aspirin (pain relief, fever reduction)
  2. Antibiotic Ointment (Prevents infection on minor cuts and scrapes)
  3. Antihistamines (Congestion, Colds and even Bee Stings)
  4. Acetaminophen (Tylenol)
  5. Ibuprofen (Advil)
  6. Thermometer 
  7. Antiseptics (Alcohol)
  8. Cortisone Cream (Relieves itching and inflammation, bug bites and skin allergies)
  9. Anti Fungal Cream (ringworm, jock itch, athlete's foot)
  10. Calamine Lotion (pain and itching caused by bug bites)
  11. Tweezers (Splinters)
  12. Adhesive Bandages
  13. Gauze Pads/Surgical Tape
  14. Elastic Bandages
  15. Eye drops
  16. Aloe Vera Gel (minor burns)
  17. Antacids (liquid or tablet)
If you have this you are pretty much set for any minor injury, pain etc. This is only temporary so if you have a serious problem do not rely on the Internet and seek professional medical help.

Hello Kitty Forever 21 Review

Hello Everyone, so I mentioned the Hello Kitty Collection for Forever 21. I  took a little while to write this post because I have been super busy at school. This is what I got from the collection. I had also purchased the Chococat peplum top and a really cute beanie I had to return because it had some thread that was coming apart. I loved this collection I think they have really cute stuff and I would have purchased more items but I feel like I have to be at the store and try out the stuff (to avoid returns). There was a problem at all the Forever 21 stores I went to, they did not have a lot of items I was interested in. If you wish to purchase I believe they are still stocked online and a few at the stores but let me warn you it is a mess.

Guest Post: New Anti-Aging Treatments to Try in 2017 by Diana Smith

Removing the signs of aging has become a real trend in the past years, and patients didn’t even care if they had to go under the knife, as long as the result was a younger looking face. However, for those who’ve always wanted a rejuvenated skin, but were afraid of surgical procedures, 2017 brings the new trends that all of you’ll love. From injectable solutions to lasers and radio frequency, the new treatments are cheaper, easier and safer, so you’ll never have to go under the knife again.
