DIY Invisible Ink Pen

I am here this week with an invisible ink pen! This is something quite different than what I normally do, but I was sitting in class looking at my surroundings; especially things we use on a daily basis. Computers (unreasonable for me to attempt to make), paper (umm no) and pens. Pens were the only item I could even think of creating. But then I became interested in the ink and began researching some ideas and I came across invisible ink for top secret messages! I thought that this was super cool and I remember something similar in primary school and I was so interested in how it was made and how I could make it. This was a whole lot easier than I thought it would be. It only requires three items which are easy to find at a grocery stores and pharmacies. The ink is invisible unless you heat the paper with a candle or a lighter.

What you will need:
* A fountain pen
* A Syringe
* Lemon Juice

The steps:
* Take plastic ink cartridge out of pen
* Wash the ink out of the cartridge in the sink until its clean
* Take the syringe and fill it with lemon juice
* Release the lemon juice in the ink cartridge
* Screw the plastic ink cartridge (full of lemon juice) back into the fountain pen
* Test it out on paper
* Write whatever you want (it wont be visable)
* Heat under the paper (dont burn it) with a candle or lighter. Any type of fire will work.
* Your message will appear! :)

DIY Flower EOS

I have found the most beautiful lip balm DIY: it is a flower jelly EOS lipstick. This does not take long to make and it is soo beautiful! It will be hard for anyone to believe that you made it yourself!

You'll need a clean EOS container, transparent art gelatin, citric acid, sugar, water, Vaseline and a fake flower. This requires a stove to heat the mixture, as well as a spoon to mix and any little knife.

Instructions -

* Put three table spoons of gelatin and 1 cup of cold water in a bowl.
* Mix and let it sit for ten minutes.(It should have a thick texture)
* Set that aside.
* Mix 2 cups of sugar, three cups of water, 1 teaspoon citric acid in a pot and heat on medium.
* When everything is dissolved and steam is coming from the pot, take it off of the heat.
* Add gelatin and stir until completely dissolved.
* Let mixture cool.
* Use a knife to pop the crate off the EOS container. (Watch video below to see exactly how to do this.)
* Prep the lid of the EOS container with oil or Vaseline.
* Place the top part of the EOS container on top of the bottom half and slowly start pouring some of the mixture into it.
* Place the flower in the container and continue to SLOWLY add the mixture.
* Screw crate back on once the mixture is almost at the top of the container.
* Pour the rest of the gelatin to fill it.
* Put the EOS containers in the fridge until solid. (Preferably for a couple of hours.)
* Pop crate on and you have your jelly lip balm! :)

DIY Fluffy Slime

Everyone wants a little fun sometimes, and a ton of fluffy slime can do just the trick.
I made this with my little cousins and it was honestly so fun and they loved it! Don't worry it's not really slimy! Its fluffy and heavy, more of a solid, but really cool! You can make however much you want, whatever color. After you attempt your first batch, you can try many others with different things in it.

What You'll Need -
* A big plastic tub
* One gallon of glue
* Three cans of shaving cream
* Giant Spoon
* Food Coloring
* Eye Contact Solution

This gets kind of messy so make sure you are not wearing anything you do not mind messing up!

* First fill the tub with gallon of glue.
* Put in a couple drops of food coloring.
* Mix with the big spoon.
* Add three cans of shaving cream.
* Mix with the big spoon.
* Add in contact solution bit by bit until the mixture is forming slime.
* Keep mixing the solution.
* Kneed the slime.
* Have fun with the slime! :)

DIY Mosturizer

I am obsessed with skin moisturizers and lotions, especially those that smell good! I have tons of different lotions, from many different brands; some smell great and feel wonderful but have ingredients in them that are not what I want to be putting on my skin. I like to do DIY's on things that I love so I found this one very fitting, especially since I can add needed ingredients and get rid of those that I do not want.. Below I have a DIY moisturizer that has only three ingredients! :) These ingredients are easy to get anywhere, even on my little island, Grand Cayman. This moisturizer has hydrating properties, does not clog your pores but soothes irritated skin and works with acne prone skin. It includes vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. When the mixture is finished, store at room temperature.
You will need a bowl, aloe vera gel, coconut oil and any essential oil (optional).

* Get a bowl.

* Put two tablespoons of coconut oil in the bowl.

* Put three tablespoons of aloe vera in the bowl.

* Mix until it builds a smooth texture.

* Add three-five drops of an essential oil of your choice.

* Mix the oil in.

* Store in container, use when needed.

DIY Face Mask

Everyone wants clean, clear skin. This is a quick and easy DIY mask, great for blackheads. Store bought masks are quite expensive and these are all natural and safe products. You can add your own personal touch to your mask to make it unique and the best for YOUR skin! I did a lot of research and chose the mask that worked the best for me,hopefully it works great for you as well. You will need two small containers, charcoal powder, glue, and peppermint extract.

* Add two teaspoons of charcoal powder in glue.

* Add a little bit of peppermint oil.

* Mix the mixture.

* Use a face/paint brush to spread mixture on face.

* Peel mask off of your face after 30 mins.

* Use a warm rag to wipe off any excess mask.

* Wash face.

This method worked brilliantly for me and my friends and I recommend it to anyone that is struggling to find a way to get rid of blackheads and shrink their pores.
