The Secret of The Universe.

Here I am, blogging for you, dear reader, in the midst of discovering the solution to any teenage girl's problem..


This beautiful powder never fails to impress me, whether it nearly eliminates my cystic pimples in a matter of 2 minutes, or shrinks the mosquito bite to a microscopic size the day of homecoming. It even produces a wonderful fluffiness in cookies! It's uses are infinite.

So, whenever I encounter a problem with my skin, the smell of my feet, the whiteness of my teeth.. I can just remember, "Oh yeah, baking soda is the secret of the universe. Just put a bit on it." 

I'm particularly impressed with the miraculous sodium bicarbonate this evening.

For the past week, I've been struggling with a rather large cystic pimple. I turned to Vicks (The essential oils should help, but petroleum jelly is crap..), then all natural alcohol-based breakout blasters, and tingly, irritating facial washes, all until tonight.

If it would work to shrink my mosquito bite in a matter of hours (I swear it shrunk 50x in an hour), then it might just work to reduce the size of this pimple.

And let me just tell you, I'm so pleased with the results. After a few more uses, I have no doubt the pimple will be gone.

So, after that ramble, here's a wonderful list of the uses of baking soda that will come in handy in the beauty world. All it takes is a bit of water and sodium bicarbonate, and you have the secrets to the universe!

1) ANTI-ACNE SPOT TREATMENT
a bit of water + baking soda
2) ANTI-INFLAMMATORY BITE TREATMENT
a bit of water + baking soda
4) WHITENING TOOTHPASTE
either buy arm and hammer OR a bit of water +bs
5) ANTI-ODOR FOOT POWDER

6) CONDITIONING BATH
add 1/2 cup of baking soda into warm bath.
7) UNDERARM DEODORANT

8) EXFOLIANT

XOXO,
Gabby
