Looking for a easy do it your self gift? Got a tea drinker in your circle of friends?
I was given this recipe in 1986 while living in Germany on the military base at Sembach.
Its called Friendship Tea and really easy to put together.
You need a mason jar.. tie some pretty ribbon around it and tie with a spoon with the directions on how to use it. You can get the spoon at any gifts or crafts store.
Combine it all together but for the Cloves and Cinnamon. And put that on top.
You need:
1 Jar TANG (7 oz)
1/3 Cup Lipton Instant Tea
3/4 Cup white Sugar
1/2 Package Dry Lemonade Mix
1/2 teaspoon Cloves
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
You mix the Cloves and Cinnamon together. Store in a air-tight container. Use 2Tsp or to taste per cup of boiling water. You are making having a cup of tea fun again!

We are now offering three flakies by Picture Polish! Order today and when they come in early next year, you will be the first to own them. I moved it so you can find them easier.

I know that many small websites like myself, close down for a week after Christmas. Being that I can’t travel right now, I won’t be going anywhere. I will be here doing updates, adding new products, articles etc. If you need anything please contact me..

Looking for a cool quick way to create smoky eyes using purple eye shadow? This would work with pretty much any purple, I just happen to have a jar of Your Majesty handy. And being its more of a duochrome it changes with the lighting. I went to a party and didn’t have that much time to do my makeup.

I use Your Majesty, makeup primer, brown mascara/ magic lash, Static Smoke mineral eyeliner. It was simple to do, I applied makeup primer (I use Reviva Labs), Your Majesty, Static Smoke mineral eyeliner on the top lid and only half way on the lower lid. I also used it in the waterline. Being its a dark gray eyeliner, it brought out the white in my eyes. I smudged it on the top lid and lower lid. The applied the eyeliner again. Doing it that way, I was able to keep the eyeliner there all night. I curled my lashes. Using brown mascara instead of black, soften the look.
I wish I had a photo of just how cool it looked. I was wearing all gray outfit. The purple really bought out my blue eyes.

Have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends!!
