OUR TIPS:• We suggest that you keep the freezer tank in the freezer all the time, so that it is ready at any time you want. Place in a plastic bag before freezing. Freeze the tank in the upright position. • Always make sure the freezer tank is thoroughly dry before placing in the freezer. • Do not puncture or heat the freezer tank. • The freezer tank should be placed in a freezer that is operating at a temperature of 18° Centigrade (-0.40° Fahrenheit) or below for 8-12 hours before use. • For best results we suggest refrigerating the ingredients before making ice cream. • The addition of alcohol of recipes inhibits the freezing process.

Alternative Uses for AVON Bubble Bath

Hey there, beauts! On the blog today, i'm sharing ways on how you could be muli-tasking and saving money with Bubble Delight Bubble Bath. Some of these uses gave me some real "aha moments". We are huge fans of AVON's bubble bath in this house and I cannot wait to try out these *customer recommended* alternative uses!

You can purchase AVON Bubble Delight Bubble Bath at youravon.com/ssandis. A 24 fl. oz. bottle is regularly priced at $8. It goes on sale often, so make sure you keep checking for those deals and special offers. A little bit goes a long way, you don't need more than two cap-fulls to produce that bubbly and tranquil retreat.

Use to wash down the tub surround, shower walls and doors;

Leaves bathroom fixtures and mirrors shining;

Cleans the vanity top, cabinets, and ceramic tiles;

Wash your plant leaves to make them shine. Mix a small amount of the Avon bubble bath with some tepid water. When finished pour the leftover water onto soil as a fertilizer;

Will clean your jewelry (even costume jewelry);

Leaves a fresh, clean smell from room to room . There are a lot of different fragrances – might be fun to try different ones.

Use to clean your eyeglasses;

Mix some bubble bath with an equal amount of water to put it in your potpourri burner;

Adds fun to the children’s wading pool while keeping the pool and children clean;

Shake up, then use the bubbles only on a sponge to clean and freshen vehicle interiors;

Add to cleaning water for cars, aluminum or vinyl siding, campers or trailers – repels dust;

Leaves a protective wax-like coating on cars – water marks wash right off;

Use in the garage to test tires or gas lines for leaks;

To repel snails in the garden – mix equal parts water and bubble bath and spray on flowers. In the vegetable garden, spray only on the surrounding soil, not on any edible plants.

Give your pet a bubble bath.

Fall's Ultimate Accessory: The Statement Scarf

Hey there, beauties! I previously blogged some beauty tips to gear up for the Fall trends and today, i'd like to continue the Fall theme by featuring the ultimate Fall fashion accessory - The statement scarf.

Three Print Scarf Pack 

Regular $29.99 ON SALE NOW $19.99 for the pack.

Fall’s ultimate accessory in the season’s hottest prints.

Each pack includes one black & white lace, one red floral print and one white/black/brown leopard print 72” L x 18” W scarves.

These scarves are great because they are versatile and trendy with attractive designs. There are endless style possibilities - so bring out the Fashionista in you!

Speaking on endless style possibilities, another essential Fall fashion accessory is the mark. Endless Style Scarf. A great, patterned, extra-long scarf to spice up your outfit. Perfect to mix up textures and patterns for a standout look. Houndstooth with red trim. $18 | Pairs fabulously with the mark. On Top Of Things Jacket (pictured below with scarf) $65

Customer Comment about Endless Style Scarf:

"I love herringbone, and this take on it is fabulous. The color is very vibrant (more so than the picture). It will be perfect for fall with its deep cranberry color.I also like that the tag is in black and not obvious, unlike most scarf tags which I end up removing because it ruins the look. This would be a great addition to a black or white suit for business as well!"

Tip: When shopping mark. Fashions, keep in mind that the pieces are designed and fitted for Junior sizing. You're never "too old" to dress fashionably, however, keep the sizing chart in mind when making your purchases. If you are unsatisfied with any product in your online order, AVON does offer a Money Back Guarantee.

Six Tips for Gorgeous Summer Skin

Hi, beauts! We may be nearing the end of Summer but a gorgeous Summery glow is fabulous no matter the time of year. The following are six tips to getting & keeping that glow: 

DRINK WATER. You may think this is a no-brainer or that it really isn't necessary for helping with that glowing skin you desire -- but beauty begins from within. Your skin's water loss peaks at night, so down a glass of refreshing H2O before calling it a night. Also, keeping hydrated will help boost your mood, thus reducing stress and acne breakouts!! 

PROTECT YOUR LIPS. Keep your pout sexy with adding some lip balm with added SPF. The tissue around your lips is super delicate, so you have got to keep it protected. If you want to add some color but still want that SPF, try: Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick or Beyond Color Plumping Lip Color SPF 15.

SWITCH FROM CREAMS TO LOTIONS. You have to keep your skincare regimen going, even during the hot, humid, weather. It is best though to switch from the heavy cream to a lightweight lotion during the Summer. ANEW Vitale Day Lotion is a non-greasy, oil-free formula with SPF 25. This everyday moisturizer helps refine the look pores, which can appear larger during the Summer months.

SAFE TAN. Avoid the tanning beds at all cost. They have been shown to be potentially harmful to skin plus, hard on your wallet. Instead, try Skin So Soft Satin Glow Absolute Glow Gel. Instantly hydrates skin. Visibly firms skin. Minimizes the appearance of hair and skin imperfections after 2 weeks. Silky-smooth, fast-drying gel glides on streak-free for a sun-kissed glow for all skin tones. Will not stain clothing.

USE AN OVERNIGHT FACE TREATMENT AND COOL OFF. At the end of a long day, a nighttime hydrating mask can feel refreshing and soothing. Beauty Tip: Store AVON's Anew Overnight Hydration Mask in the fridge so that it’s extra cool to the touch. You’ll feel like you’re at the spa! Repeat three times a week to keep your skin extra hydrated throughout the season.

EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN. To get rid of sunscreen, excess oil and general build-up, you’ll want to exfoliate more often during summer. (With well-moisturized skin, your face and body can handle it.) Use a body scrub, like the Moisture Therapy Derma Restoring Body Scrub, for arms and legs to slough off dead skin cells. For face, an occasional peel with glycolic acid — one of five alpha hydroxyl acids — helps strip away dullness. Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel is a favorite — just make sure to properly protect your skin from the sun, since peels can cause sensitivity.

There you have it! Now that you have the info, get your skin gorgeous and glowing at youravon.com/ssandis Please feel free to comment below and share this post to your favorite social media outlets! Thanks, and have a great day!! xo 

5 DIY Makeup Organizer Ideas

Hey, beauties! Are you crossing that fine line between having an impressive makeup collection and being a full-blown hoarder?

Sure, having a nice sized makeup bag or case is great and typically how most will go about it -- but, I say SHOW OFF YOUR PRETTIES and do it in a fun and creative fashion! Here are some ideas on how to organize your makeup that I found online from some pretty ingenious folk.

SHOE ORGANIZER: For those, like myself, who do not have the luxury of a large counter space, this is an effective way to organize lip balm, lip glosses, mascaras, and other beauty essentials. Won't take up any space really, as it just hangs over the door or closet. This organizer won't break the bank, you can find one in your local dollar store and it gets the job done!

PLANT POTS + DECORATIVE ROCKS: Grab a cute flower pot from a yard sale or your local craft store and with some cute decorative rocks (found at the dollar store) take your makeup brushes to a new organized level of cuteness!

VINTAGE PLATES, BOWLS, & MUGS: Not only does this DIY organizer idea make a fashionable way to store your makeup essentials -- it doubles as a jewelry holder to really jazz up the look overall. To get the full deets on how to do this one, visit Designs by Studio C.

MASON JARS: They are repurposed for just about anything these days. Considered quite trendy. For a new way to organize, mount them to a wooden board and store some of your beauty routine goodies in them for a new look to your bathroom wall. This was a page taken out of The DIY Playbook.

DECORATIVE PLATTER/TRAY: If you want your makeup stash laid out more so than stored away in bulk, head on over to We Heart This to see some great tips on how to do it without it looking like a cluttered mess. Just like Bustle West Coast Fashion and Beauty Editor Sara Tan suggests, dress it up a bit with a piece of scrapbooking paper on the bottom of the tray.

The sky is the limit on fun ways to organize your makeup and beauty tools. Comment below with some of the ways you do so!! Don't forget to shop at youravon.com/ssandis for makeup essentials like lipstick, mascara, foundation, concealer, blush, etc. You may need to stock up on some products to fill these creative and fun DIY organization methods!!
