A well stocked kitchen can be not only useful to person who loves to cook, but also a person who thrives to find new beauty tips and tricks. like yours truly! There are so many things and so many uses so I have decided to start posting some here and there!

My first one involves one of the greates food and beauty ingredients ever: Olive Oil! Not only is it a good source of healthy fat in food, but an incredible conditioner in the world of beauty. One of my favorite and quickest uses for olive oil is to use it as a cuticle oil in a manicure. Here's what to do:

• Take the polish off your nails with a non-acetone polish remover and paper towels or cotton pads.
• Fill up a bowl with warm water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• Dunk your nails in the bowl and soak them for 10 minutes.
• Pat dry your nails with a dry towel
• Gently push back your cuticles with a wooden cuticle pusher
• Shape your nails with a fine grain file. No sawing motion or metal files, people!
• Slather on your favorite lotion or hand cream to moisturize your nails and hands.
• Apply a layer of basecoat. Dry.
• Apply two coats of your fav polish. Dry.
• Finish with a nice and dependable top coat
• Finally, go strut yourself and your nails off to nearest person with envy!

Stay Stylish!
