Tutorial Time: How to Make Your Jewelry Sparkle!

Ok, so here is the thing, we all have some kind of ring or necklace or earring that we love. And we also love to wear them all the time! But wearing them all the time makes them dirty because they accumulate dead skin, oils and other gruesome stuff. Here is a tutorial on how to clean your jewelry. I have only tried this on jewelry made of gold and platinium so other than those two I do not know how it will end up. Today I am going to show you how to clean your jewelry using one of my favorite rings. The ring is made of gold and the stone is amethyst.

Materials needed:


 

•  old toothbrush
•  water
•  gloves
•  bowl
•  ammonia or mr. clean
•  jewelry (of course!)

Procedure:

Before

After

1. Pour water into your bowl. 
2. Heat the bowl with water in the microwave for 1 minute.

3. With heat protective gloves take the bowl out of the microwave.

4. Add about 3 caps of ammonia.

5. Put your piece of jewelry in the mix of water and ammonia and let it soak for 5 minutes

 6. While wearing latex gloves to protect your skin, pick up your jewelry.

  7. Take the old toothbrush and dip it in the mix and scrub your jewelry thoroughly.

8. Rinse your jewelry with tap water.

9. Dry your ring with a paper towel and admire your new super sparkly piece of jewelry!

Before

After

WARNING: Be careful with the ammonia because it may burn your skin.  Also be careful when taking the bowl out of the microwave because the water will be hot. Also be careful that you don't get sprayed with the mix while brushing the piece of jewelry as this may result in some ammonia falling into your eye and this would be a terrible inconvenience. Also if your precious or semi-precious stone has a crack, it may break when put in really hot water.

Bedridden Review :D

Well guys! I just came back from the hospital because I slipped and hit my foot.. got 12 stiches. I'll be reviewing some kind of antiscarring cream, not sure which one yet though, since I need to let the stiches heal before I can put anything on my soon to be coolest scar (jajaja). Anyways, I decided that whuile I am bed ridden, Í'll review the Clean and Clear advantage popped pimple relief gel pen.

This are the recommend directions:

Directions

Clean the skin thoroughly before applying this product.

Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily.

Because excessive drying of the skin may occur, start with one application daily, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor

If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.
Dermatologists do not recommend intentionally popping pimples.

So I tried this product because I read raving review that it helped your pimple in just hours. Before I went to sleep I applied the gel. It took about 10 twist before the gel actually came out of the pen. I dabbed it on my pimple and off to sleep I went. In the morning I woke up to a redder pimple, but I followed instructions and applied the gel again. I applied the gel before going to bed again. The next morning same thing... I must say I was expecting way more. This product did not help at all; it just dried my skin out but the pimple was still there and it still hurt! After 3 days on this product I stopped because my skin was starting to crack which made the pimple harder to hide. I would not recommend this product at all, save yourself the 10 dollars and buy yourself something better.

The best technique that actually cures my ocassinal pimples is to take a towel and dip it warm water and press against the pimple to open the pore. this also helps relief the redness and the pain.

Good luck with your pimples my friends!
