Hey everyone! In winter, skin gets very dry. That's why today's DIY is so perfect; it will help you achieve soft skin! Today's DIY is DIY Sugar Scrub, and because it is the holiday's, this sugar scrub looks like a candy cane, and smells like peppermint. Yum! (No, this is not edible. Well technically it is... but I wouldn't eat it...) Let's get started! You will need: - Red Food Coloring - Peppermint Essentials Oil - Mason Jar - 2 cups of Sugar - 1/4 cup of Coconut Oil - Two spoons - A cup with a flat bottom - One medium/large sized bowl - Two cereal-sized bowls Steps: Pour sugar into a medium/large sized bowl. Stir in the coconut oil. Add a few drops of the Peppermint Essentials Oil (a little goes a long way, so a few drops actually means a few drops!). Divide the sugar and coconut oil mixture into two equal sized portions into the two cereal-sized bowls. Mix in a few drops of red food coloring to one bowl (be careful not to add to much or yo...

Because it is the Holiday's, I'm sure many of you are doing some baking! I know I am, at least. Today's DIY is a DIY Frosting Piping bag. If you're baking and realize you forget to buy some piping bags, this DIY will save your LIFE! It's very simple too. Let's get started! You will need: - A plastic bag - A Butter Knife - Scissors - A cup - Your frosting! Steps: 1. Put the bag into the cup like so: 2. Put your frosting in the sandwich bag using the butter knife. 3. Take the bag out of the cup, and push the frosting into one of the corners of the bag. 4. Twist the remaining of the bag so the frosting is packed together. (Does that make sense?) 5. Using scissors, cut off the tip of that corner. If you want to do detailed frosting work, make just a snippet. Or if you want to just frost cupcakes, you can make a bigger cut. You're done! I hope you enjoyed this DIY tutorial for a DIY Frosting Piping Bag! Stay tuned for more DIYs coming soon! -Mad...

Hey DIYers, today's DIY is DIY 5 minute ice cream! I've been making 5 minute ice cream since I was a kid, and it tastes super yummy! Let's get started! You will need: - 1 gallon ziploc bag - 1 quart ziploc bag - 1 cup milk - 1 tablespoon sugar - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla - 1/3 cup salt - Ice Steps: Pour the milk, sugar and vanilla into the smaller, quart sized bag. Fill the larger, gallon sized bag 3/4 full of ice, then add the salt to the ice. Place the smaller bag inside the larger bag and close the seal. Make sure you close them both tightly! Now shake the bag good and hard for 5 minutes. Rinse the small bag off with cold water before opening to keep the salt water from getting into your ice cream. You're done!
