DIY Hand Sanitizer | Make Your Own Hand Sanitizer by Roxy James

It’s been a rough start to 2020. I remember on New Year’s Day feel so hopeful, so full of life- endless possibilities-you know the usual feelings for a new year. Something about 2020 felt so magical, and right now, if you’re reading this, you’ll know it’s close to a nightmare you want to wake up from.

The COVID-19 pandemic virus is just that thing you want to pretend isn’t happening. I have moments where I just feel dazed because I can’t believe that THIS is our reality. How could THIS be the dawn of the new decade. It makes me feel wobbly inside- as if I can’t process it. But sadly, it’s very much real and something that we have to get through together to #flattenthecurve

Brown Paper Gift Wrap

Nothing is more lovely-vintage as a brown paper parcel. When it come to holiday gift wrap, I can’t help but go this way. It’s so different from pricey store bought wrapping paper and it stands out beautifully under the tree. When people think of brown paper, it’s often associated with paper bags and all things that aren’t beautiful. But, if you add a few embellishments here and there, brown paper gift wrap can be as stunning as another store bought one. 

I loved this idea so much that I wrapped my gifts this year with brown paper #SORRYNOTSORRY 

P.S. you need to be following me on my social – instagram, twitter & snapchat (itsroxyjames) because there are mega giveaways that are going on and you definitely don’t want to be missing out. Like this one.

Everyday Skin Care Routine & DIY Face Mask

Ever since I knew myself, caring for my skin was something that was near obsessive. Of course, this didn’t stop me from getting the random bout of acne which left scarring- no one’s skin is perfect ya know! Everyone has their skin issues but I believe strongly that having a skin care routine will help manage some of those skin problems and lead to healthy, glowing skin. 

Here’s a peak into what I do everyday- it’s very simple but it makes my skin feel amazing. Also, I’m sharing a DIY mask that I just LOVE. It has ingredients that your skin will thank you for. You don’t have to do this everyday but I love making simple homemade masks just to treat my skin sometimes. Maybe I’m a believer that if you’re good to your skin, your skill will be good to you!
