Hello Nubians,
Humidity is annoying as HELL, excuse my french but a bitch! I hate walking out of my house, having my hair done and a cute outfit on, feeling totally awesome and then POW! Humidity kicks in and your face usually starts getting oily, you start feeling uncomfortable and all of a sudden you don't feel so nice anymore.
One thing I can't stand is my face looking oily. As a blogger, I take tons of photos and I DO NOT want my face looking shiny (especially the "T" zone). I remember reading somewhere that Starbucks napkins or pretty much any business that has brown grainy napkins, work great as blotting papers! I put this to the test and it is indeed true. It beats going to Sephora and wasting about $10.00 a pack. Stock up on some napkins and enjoy an awesome coffee or tea at the same time!
The paper in Starbucks for example is made out of 100% recyclable content! (Go Green) I think the grainy/slightly rough texture is what helps absorb the oil from your face.
Below is the SIMPLEST DIY EVER for oil blotting sheets.

Below is the SIMPLEST DIY EVER for oil blotting sheets.
1) Gather a few napkins and a pair of scissors.
2) Stack them up as even as possible in order to be able to cut them easily.
3) Cut the napkins into desired shape... I like to cut them into squares or rectangles.
Then Wa-La! you're done. You can put them in a cute little container and carry them around in your purse. You can always just carry the napkins around but using a whole napkin to blot your face a bit is rather wasteful.
Regardless if you don't do this DIY project you should try the napkins. They work amazing, I promise darlings ;-)
