Homemade Face Scrub.

We can't help but to love that fresh feeling after we leave the spa. Getting an exfoliating face scrub can be the most refreshing and invigorating thing in the world! But it is not everyday that we can make it to the spa nor afford it. So It would be beneficial to learn how to make some homemade face scrubs. Not to mention that it is way better to use natural products on your skin. Here I have two of my favorite homemade face scrubs.

1. Succulent Sugar Face Scrub                

The sugar acts as the buffer but the real miracle ingredients are the honey which is a powerful antioxidant and antimicrobial as well as lemon which is clarifying.

Combine 1 teaspoon sugar with 1/2 teaspoon honey and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and mix well. If the mixture is a little loose, add a bit more sugar. Scrub your face in a circular motion and when your entire face is covered rinse with warm water. 

2. Opulent Oatmeal Face Scrub 

Oatmeal is not only a great exfoliate it also absorbs surface dirt. Oatmeal heals everything from acne to sunburn. It is perfect for sensitive skin because it is so gentle!

Combine 1 tablespoon of ground oatmeal with 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of water or olive oil to make it into a paste. Gently rub it onto your skin in circular motions, let sit for five to 10 minutes and rinse.

ENJOY!

Make a fashion statement with statement tees

Shhh...

Not a double standard!

Yes, yes it does!

Lovely luscious leopard print dresses, shoes, bags, and nails!

I don't care what anyone says, animal print will always be in style for me! But the "experts" say it is on an up trend so get in while it's hot.... 

Umm.. YES! This is the perfect way to wear animal print if you don't want to over do it! Simple sexy, and classy!

 These are for the daring soul. Only the bold can pull this off! My personal match would be dress A with shoe 2 and dress B with shoe 1 or 3. Very sexy!

These are perfect to incorporate leopard print in your day to day life. Wear them to the gym, to make a quick trip to the grocery store, or pair them with the right outfit and make a day of it! 

Live long and wear leopard print!

If you are feeling depressed this is a must read...

It may be surprising to you but many people ask how to be happy. Being and staying happy is way easier than you think! All it takes is a little action but it won't feel like action at all! Here I have ten musts to be and stay happy! In order for this to work you must do at least one of these EVERYDAY! 

1) Play- Be child-like. Do something you haven't done since you were a child. If you have kids play with them. Play games like Hide and go seek and tag!

2) Service to others- Volunteer at your local hospital, help a friend move, be a shoulder to cry on, help your kids with their homework. Make a selfless act.

3) Catch up on things you've been putting off- Make that doctors appointment, clean out your garage, fix that broken window. Whatever it is get it over with! You will feel so much better once the weight has been lifted.

4) Laugh- I recommend this one daily! Laugh so hard it hurts!

5) Stop and smell the roses- Just take a moment to look around you and point out all the things you are grateful for and all that you love!

6) Gift yourself- Take time to go to the spa, buy yourself something nice, Take a long bath. You deserve it!

7) Create- Plant a garden, draw something, do arts and crafts, write a poem, build something, restore something. Please the left side of your brain!

8) Dance- Listen to your favorite music and shake your booty!

9) Learn something new- Read a book on a subject you know nothing about, talk to someone from a different walk of life, learn a new sport. Just expand your mind beyond information that is being fed to you!

10) Be alone- Go for a walk, turn off the TV, Put down that book. Just immerse yourself with you and learn to love that person!
