BEAUTY HOME MADE TIPS


Hi beauties,

As promise here goes your next request. Yes I do take care of my skin and I am kind of a crazy girl when it comes to creams etc….. that goes along.

Let’s not forget something very important. Of course you need a good cream for night time and one for the day time.

It is important to take care of your skin since you turn 20 ;) I guess is good to prevent before complaining how to take off wrinkles, dry skin, bad skin.

Here are some of my home made treatments that I do to my own skin and you can do too :D

HONEY AND SUGAR SCRUB… ONCE A WEEK YOU WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE ;)

 
Here's how to do it:

1. Warm a jar of honey in the microwave for a few seconds until it becomes runny but not too hot to the touch.

2. Pour about 1/4 cup of the honey (eyeball it) into a bowl.

3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of your favorite oil in my case I work with “OLIVE OIL” ;). You can use coconut oil,almond which ever you prefer.

4. Add about a 1/2 cup of sugar. Mix well

 
1. You will see how nice and smooth your face is after this great homemade scrub… why don’t you try it? ;) I personally do it ones every week and I have to say I love it.

 
 A great homemade “Honey scrub”. I have to say I have a funny story link to that J “Of course I do” Last week I did my honey scrub and just left it seconds on the sink and of course who had it on his mouth and had a great dessert? “My Dog ” LUCKY” So that is another tip from mine, lol. Leave your dog outside while you are doing this mask ;)

 
Ice cubes, Yes indeed one of the most common methods used when you have gone out for long hours, you have not slept much and your face looks just tired and swollen. Here is my tip 1. You break those ice cubes into little pieces

2.You take some cucumbers and you cut them into little pieces as well

3. Take bowl and mix cucumber and little pieces of ice together

4. you apply both on your face- eyes and you leave them on for a while. “ I actually leave it on my face until the ice is completely melted

( You will see your face just shine and glow J I promise even if you did not get those important  beauty 8 hours of sleep) try it and let me know how it went.  

 
 
When you have finish with the cucumber and Ice process here comes the “cherry on the cake” this is how I call it… Don’t get confuse J go below and you will see on the next picture

 
Yes a BALM, take any Balm you have any flavor of course it will be better a simple transparent one ;) I tell you why?

You will take a bit of it and you will apply it under your eyes and you will just leave it there for a while.

You will see and feel the difference the different glow you will have J

 
Try it J and please let me know how your skin is glowing after starting all this homemade tips ;) which I have the pleasure to share with you.

I have to say I love this requests of -tips for skin care- because I just love taking lots of care of myself so is like a joy to be able to share it with you guys

 
LET’S TALK ABOUT OLIVES NO?

 
This Tip goes for prevention for wrinkles YES…. YES YES…J believe it or not guys this “OLIVE OIL IS MAGIC”… APPLY TWICE A WEEK AT NIGHT… watch your favorite show on television and Yes my beauties you have to sleep with it… by the time you go to bed you will realize how your skin will drink that oil.

I personally have been doing that since a long time a believe my skin is smooth and nice, of course I’ve had my periods that I have forgotten but my face kind of asks for it J but it does work and it is just a boost for your skin.

 
Ok beauties this is my last tip for today… I know is really a little bit annoying because it takes just time for Ice cubes to melt… but try it while watching tv… that is the way I usually do it.

Rub an ice cube over your face each night to minimize pores and prevent acne and wrinkles

I have to admit I don’t do this one very often unless I have been very tired and busy  but I will start putting it on my agenda because I think I will need it after the following shows etc J

 
BYE GUYS I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY MY POST OF TODAY AND KEEP ON WRITING AND REQUESTINGJ
I HOPE I CAN KEEP UP WITH EVERYTHING THIS WEEK AND DELIVER.

It is funny because I am a “People” person so I always want to do activities  with a lot of people around – But then when I start my creation I just want to be a lone... is like a whole process...of disappearing and appearing with  goodies ... ;) Kind of like SANTA CLAUSE:)
Ok guys here are the photos, Hope you all enjoy ;)

A BIG MANOUSH FOR YOU

Lets talk about one of my favorite fun brands among others...;)



                                                         MANOUSH


Hi all beauties J

Today I’ve decided to write a little bit of Manoush; a brand that I just adore, . Frédérique Trou-Roy, formerly an accessories designer for the French company Morgan, started Manoush (French slang for 'gypsy') in January 2003 after having embarked on an extensive journey through Marrakesh. She was instantly captivated by the colors, fragrances and fabrics, spending most of her time in local souks where she had craftsmen produce bags she had designed, while putting together other creations herself, including embellished willow baskets or Hands of Fatima decorations. She took these pieces back to Paris, where she soon found a buyer. She continued traveling to other places including Brazil” where she took the inspiration for her famous lingerie-laced mini dresses”, India and other parts of Asia, each region inspiring different pieces which ended up in her collection.

 
I completely adore this brand not only because it is a doll look which I adoreJ yes I love Pink but is just everything about it; the texture, sparkles, colors and the bohemian Princess kind of look.

 You will find five standalone Manoush boutiques in Paris with several more around France, while the label is stocked in big-name stores such as Neiman Marcus, Kitson and Harvey Nichols.
 Her designs are always bright & bold, clearly influenced by her international playgirl lifestyle! She says that every trip inspires something new for her collection, I can relate to that since my life is been traveling and getting inspiration all over the world :)

Simple, classy, chick; No matter how crazy or wild you are being feminine is a must for a girl in her everyday life.
I define Manoush as playfull feminine bohemian classy; j’adore
 
The majority of Manoush’s clothing & accessories are sewn by women from the Moroccan Jalil workshops. It’s a fair trade arrangement — her employment of these women allows them to work from home, like this they can be with their families at the same time. Additionally, every season some of the profits go towards the Helga Heidrich charity, committed to helping abandoned animals in Marrakesh.
Isn't that amazing? I love animals myself so that really touch me :D plus helping anyway you can and giving charity and helping others just makes you different and special.

 Elegance with a touch of funk is always  fabulous
