I walked past the kitchen the other day and the girls were hard at work recreating a cute little craft that they saw on yet another youtube video. Here’s the one that they made last week from another video, ha!

I was busy getting ready for company that was coming that weekend and was pretty impressed with how they were able to make this crayon lip gloss all on their own! Seeing them busy at work and so happy with the result prompted me to grab my camera. I asked them how they made it and they gave me a quick rundown.

How to Make Crayon Lip Gloss

measuring spoon

Instructions:

Kaylee: we weren’t sure if we should use just a little bit of a crayon to color our lip gloss or the whole thing. So we tried it with a little bit and then decided to add more to make a darker color. We like how those ones turned out.

(So use about 1″ of an unwrapped crayon, cut into small pieces. The crayon also helps give the lip gloss structure because of the wax.)

Kaylee: we microwaved a teaspoon of coconut oil in a bowl for 30 seconds. Then we added the broken crayon and stirred until it was all melted. Sometimes we had to put it back in the microwave for 10 more seconds.

The girls occasionally add things to my grocery list. Last week it was “coconut oil, lip gloss containers, lipstick brushes, and packing tape (for another project)”. I couldn’t find any lip brushes in the make up section at the store so I bought a small pack of paint brushes and they work great!

They made 5 little containers and I have a feeling they will continue until they have a whole rainbow of colors! They didn’t add scents this time or glitter, but that would be super easy to do!

Warm a bar with your hands for a few seconds then rub across dry skin. To use on feet, rub the lotion bar across heels and bottom of feet, and put on a pair of socks before going to bed.

    What a fun project to do with the kids. I would have never thought that crayons could be used in lip gloss. Thanks for sharing it on Merry Monday. Pinned it.

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still re I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still recovering from Christmas 😂), but I always have holiday candy on hand! This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!
