Summer Sensations

With warmer weather quickly approaching, it's a fine time to update your look and get ready for the sunshine. I have listed simple sugestions that can give you a little beauty therapy.

Kiss My Tresses- Go lighter and brighter. I add a little color to my hair naturally by putting cranberry juice on it. It's gives my hair hints of light browns and red.
Here's a link that gives you additional tips on coloring your hair naturally.

Go for the Gold- Get a natural glow, sunkissed cheeks and an all-over glow by using a bronzer. Add a cream or powdered bronzer to your face where the sun would naturally hit. Also, consider a self-tanner to get even glowing skin tone. You can use for a few days, and quickly see a noticable difference in your complexion. I have used Jergens Natural Glow body lotion for the past four summers and absolutely love it. Look like you were hanging at the beach all day. If you want to pass on the tanning lotion, try Caress Evenly Gorgeous exfoliating body wash. This product also makes the body glow, plus it's smells like brown sugar. Everything mentioned will help make the skin look healthier as well as conceals skin scars and vericose veins.

Heavenly Hair- Hot weather is a great time to practice simplicity. Consider putting the hair up in a cute bun or a disheveled ponytail with a headband or clips. Throw on a printed head scarf or a fun hat. Thinking about ditching the relaxer/chemicals and saying hello to your natural locks? The summer would be an ideal time to do it. It's difficult wearing straight hair in the heat, particularly if you are big on swimming or excercising outdoors. If you are searching for a great product for natural hair, try Shea Moisture. I use the Organic Thick and Curly Hair collection. The products are completely natural and they work!

Color Collabo - Coral is a beautiful punchy color and works on basically anyone. It's perfect on the nails, or try it in a lipstick. My favorite lip color right now!
Other color suggestsions; green and gray nail polish are both fresh and cool to wear this summer.

Scent-sations- Summer days should be simple and effortless. I find this true even in the perfumes you wear - simple and understated.
Check these out! Marc Jacob's Ginger Splash or Daisey, DKNY Pure, Kenzo Flower, Prada Infusion d', Michael Kors' Island, and Cartier De Lune.

Introducing the Kiwi

So, the kiwi originated in China, but is now grown in the US, in addition to a few select countries. Here in America, the kiwi is pretty easy to find, and also reasonable in price. Believe it or not, this sweet fruit is jammed pack with vitamin C - even more than that of an orange! Also contains vitamin E, low in fat, and no cholesterol The two main claims floating around about the kiwi: 1. It's a natural energy booster! 2. It can effectively reduce asthma symptoms, and respiratory problems in general. It reduces heart problems and increases lung function. It has been suggested that a child suffering with asthma conditions can eat one to five kiwis weekly to reduce symptoms. I have personally embraced the kiwi because of the taste, plus it's a convenient snack. But, now my love for the kiwi has been placed on a higher level. Okay, that's a little extreme! But seriously, it's a fruit to consider trying, and if possible, introducing into your daily die

Oil Pulling- A Simple Detox

So before you begin reading this, let me say that I am prepared to hear words of doubt, confusion, and just plain ol' 'are you crazy?!' concerns. I know this because I have been sharing this simple practice with a few friends, and they all looked at me with the side eye, as if this is something I learned from of a cult. But seriously, this is an opportunity to hear results before you jump on the bandwagon. Simply put, oil pulling is a form of detoxing and cleansing the body. It is so easy, and close to free- so right up my alley when it comes to time and cost. Also, please note that this method of detoxing has been performed by many for ages, and has been identified as a best practice for healing the body. Choose the oil of your choice. I prefer coconut oil, but other oils work just as well; sunflower, safflower. Throw a spoonful of oil in your mouth, (don't swallow), swish around for about 15 - 20 minutes. You can do this daily,

Konjac, Facial Cleanse

I strongly believe in keeping it simple when it comes to caring for my face, and overall body. I've never considered adopting an extensive, lengthy facial regimen. If time, natural beauty, and simplicity are your best friends, (plus you're looking for a cheap routine for maintaining your skin) , here's a great product to purchase! The konjac sponge, an eco-friendly sponge that helps revive the skin, getting rid of those dead skin cells while promoting a natural healthy glow. I've personally used the konjac sponge on my face daily, every morning since October 2016, so nearly a year. Yes, plenty of time to identify any mishaps, negative thoughts, or concerns. But no complaints here, because it's a winner! The price is so low, that you cannot complain, and the work that this little plant sponge puts into your skin is even better! Here are a few known facts about the konjac sponge: The konjac is a perennial herb, a plant found in the tropic
