LET'S TALK ABOUT CLEANING MAKEUP BRUSHES ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Why clean makeup brushes?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
--cleaning makeup brushes on a regular basis prevents dead skin cells, dirt, and bacteria (as in the unwanted kind) from spreading on the skin
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
--helps makeup go on smoothly (build up on makeup brushes doesn't result in the best makeup look)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
--makeup brushes will last longer (it's a way of taking care of what you have and saving money in the long-term) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's a simple makeup brush cleaner that I use a couple times a month to clean my makeup brushes: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1/8 cup witch hazel
1/2 tsp baby mild castile soap
1/4 cup water
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Combine the ingredients in a bowl. Add your makeup brushes to the mixture. I like to swish the brushes back in forth in the mixture and then let them soak for a few minutes. The mixture will go from clear to a dirty makeup mixture quickly. After a few minutes, remove the brushes, dump the solution, and rinse the brushes under the water. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let the brushes rest on a towel to dry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

SIMPLIFY THE LUNCHBOX WITH THREE KEY WORDS! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the age of Pinterest, it's easy to get in the mindset that every single meal should look different and unique. You guys, that's just not real life! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of the best ways to simplify real food meals is to REUSE, REPEAT, REPURPOSE throughout the week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—Reuse: How can I reuse what I make? Hello intentional leftovers for lunch! Meat from a roasted chicken becomes a chicken salad for lunch another day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—Repeat: There’s no need to reinvent the wheel at every meal. Can I repeat a meal throughout the week? This is particularly important for maximizing food prep. For example: hardboiled eggs can be used for breakfast on Monday and Wednesday and served another day in the lunchbox. Yogurt bowls can be served on Monday and Wednesday morning. And banana can be served on Wednesday (with the yogurt bowls) and Friday (with smoothies) and in the lunchbox another day. The idea is to repeat foods in multiple meals to maximize food prep. Repeat, repeat, repeat! This means you may need to double recipes, but the few extra minutes doing so pays off throughout the week! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—Repurpose: How can I use the ingredients I have on hand multiple times throughout the week? For example: spinach in smoothies, a breakfast hash, and tossed in an evening stir-fry. Or carrots in a soup, the kids lunchbox, and also a stir-fry for dinner.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only does this motto simplify our lifestyle (which includes packing lunches) but also keeps the budget in check. 💪🏻 #livesimplyblog #lunch #lunchtime #recipes #school #ideas #love #food #planetbox #schoollunchideas #lunchideas #bentobox #bentolunch #bento #snack #instalunch #instarecipes #simplifiedlife #organicfamily #realfood #naturalliving #resuable #familyideas #motherhood #momlife #healthyfood #homemade #homecook #foodprepping #motherhood #momlife #lunchbots
