Beauty tips for the apocalypse

You all know how important I think it will be to keep looking good long after everything has gone to hell and zombies are roaming the earth looking for us to snack on! Us girls are going to just have to learn how to be a bit more inventive and possibly get familiar with some farming or gardening techniques despite the risk of a chipped nail! Here are some ways you can use produce that you raise or grow yourself to keep your skin at its best. Oh and best pack a mortar and pessel in your bug out bag!

Grapes - mash up a handful and retain the juice and then apply the juice to your crows feet and other fine lines around the eyes and lips. Do this a few times a week and you won't need that chemical peel.

Mint - pound up some mint leaves and then apply this mixture underneath your eyes, then sit back and relax for 20 minutes...do this somewhere secure though because having a zombie sneak up and start noshing on your neck is not relaxing!! The mint mixture will take away your puffy dark circles created by all those sleepless nights on watch.

Eggs - keeping chickens is going to be a must as they will provide you with a regular protein source which is vital for healthy hair, skin and nails but there are a few other ways you can use eggs too. A beaten up yoke applied to your hair makes and excellent protein treatment. Apply the egg whites around your eyes for 15 minutes and then wash off to help reduce puffiness and if you can get hold of some corn startch in a raid then mix this with the whites into a paste to apply to your face to tighten up those pores. 

Strawberries - these little gems are not only good for you but will form a valuable part of your new world routine. To keep you skin exfoliated just cut one in half and rub over your face and neck area, you will feel a tingle so let it do it's thing for a bit and then rinse. You can also rub the half strawberry on your lips and cheeks to create a pretty stain and get some colour. Also just eating these babies regulary will help keep your teeth white or mix with bicarbonate soda if you can get any to make a whitening toothpaste.

 

So time to get those hands dirty and don't get bit!

Apocalypse Hal - Emergency Baking

Baking is an essential survival skill, as is making an espresso coffee machine from bike parts.

Bite off more baked grubs than you can chew.

Plants (no Zombies)

Well it is spring and Floriade is on. This festival of the flower attracts thousands of visitors who flock to see amazing floral displays featuring over a million flowering bulbs. Nice if you like that girly stuff.

I go because there is always some cool environmental and sustainable gardening displays. This year is not exception and I discovered a few useful gardening ideas that may prove handy when the zombies arise and we have to grow our own food.

There was an absence of zombies at Floriade although I did see a blood splattered gnome. However I suspect it was a vampire.

A little thing I like to think of as Bogan Landscaping. What better use for all those abandoned cars when the petrol runs out. They make great mini greenhouses as well as decorative lawn ornaments.

 

Utes are even better and if it still works you can take your garden with you if you need to flee the zombies. 

 

Of course if you are on a budget wheelbarrows may be an option.

This may look like a chook pen but it isn't. It is a  integrated small livestock production unit. Look closely - see the difference?

 

Bathtub aquaponics, the latest trend in closed cycled food production.  A cross between hydroponics and aquaculture. The fish urinate in the water and you it to feed the plants with it. Plants and fish are happy and your salad tastes funny. This one was powdered by three small goldfish.

 A cute little veggie garden and small chook pen. Think of it as an all you can eat salad bar.

Vertical gardens are a great way to maximise your growing space.  Just be carefully as zombies and possums will use them to climb up and run across on your roof at 3.00 o'clock in the morning.

Floriade had a lot of what looked like giant cookies cutters around the place. These sculptures light up at night but I think they will make great decoys for zombies.

DIY candle

I'm a sucker for a scented candle and often have one or two burning in my apartment to create some  ambience. When the doomsday hits the candle will no longer be a pretty smelling treat but more a necessity once the power grid goes down. I came across this product on one of my Pinterest adventures that is stockpile worthy! Not only can you cook with it, with a bit of string and a match hello candle light. Granted this is not a product that is common place here in Australia but it's basically shortening...yep fat in a jar!! You can find it at Costco and I have also seen it in a baking supply shop.

wo

So get a tin of fat and don't get bit!

Apocalypse Hal - Mirrors

Hot off the Wacom tablet. In other words this issue was left to the last minute just like an university assignment. And for some reason she ended up looking like a pirate.

Bite off more than you can chew.
