Avocados!!!


Avocados are high in fat, but most of the fat is monounsaturated and thus is considered a healthy fat. An avocado is a good food for skin because, as is the case with omega-3 fatty acids, it keeps skin plump and youthful looking and helps prevent dry skin.
Avocados contain both vitamin C and vitamin E, which act well together as a powerful skin anti-aging combination. 
So! Ready for another green mask?
I didnt blend anything into the avocados I just used them as they were and mashed about 1/4th of it, and used my foundation brush to apply it to my face.
 (Haha I look liked a green goop.)
Once your done applying it all over your face evenly you want to go ahead and let it sit for 20min. Remember its a mask so it will harden.. Try not to laugh lol.
Also if you have dark circles like I do, you want to apply a slice of avocado under your eyes this will take your dark circles away and plump up the skin.
Now, lets play the waiting game. Try to keep still and lay down relax I'm sure you can use 20min of relaxation! After your time is up you will feel it hard but at the same time you will also see the oils from the avocado if u rub some off and while your washing you face with warm water.
Now you should feel refreshed and smooth your skin is now nice and soft from all the good fatty oils!
I hope this worked for those who use it!

I love this song .. Because we are all perfect!

There is always a story behind a song.. Mine is you should always feel like your worth it even though you might have a down hill moment.. Just know everything doesn't always last forever until you try to make it last. As long as your always reaching for the stars nothing can bring you down. Always have confidence in yourself because you can lead with your head, but your heart will always choose the right direction.

Dry skin?

Feeling your skin a little dry after washing you face with regular soap that has nooo vitamins or nutrients for a radiant glowy feel? Your worries and dryness stops here!
lol ( I sound like an advertisement!)
No seriously, with just some natural ingredients you will feel it the moment you wash your face!
the first thing you need is honey. Honey? Yes honey! 
who knew how much nutrition for your skin is in honey!
Honey promotes new tissue growth. Before pasteurization, honey contains bee pollen, propolis, and other components that stimulate the growth of new skin. It contains mild alpha hydroxide acids, such as gluconic acid. These acids are very safe to use on skin and can loosen bonds between the dead skin cells, making it easier to shed this dead layer. These acids also increase elasticity, balance out oily skin, stimulate collagen production, and minimize lines and wrinkles, making you look younger.
Honey helps the skin hold moisture in. Honey contains amino acids, which help the skin retain its essential moisture. In addition, the sugar content in honey makes it an excellent humanistic.
You can even try a honey mask as well! For this you can use any type of honey they are honestly all the same, We are also going to be using some sugar, you can also use brown sugar or just regular sugar.
along with some olive oil and I would go with any type of olive oil as well. It could be extra virgin, virgin or just olive oil it self. As long as its a teaspoon!
Olive oil will give moisture as well as the honey locks it in. What the sugar is going to do is help you scrub away all those dead skin cells that build up and causes the skin to feel irritated (dry)
So, lets get started! with the sugar you at least need 3 tablespoons full, just a spoon full of sugar (helps the medicine go down hehe!) and a teaspoon of the olive oil. You want to go ahead and mix them all together in your bowl or cup I usually use a cup. you can apply it anyway you want with a spoon or even a foundation brush I just prefer my hands. Once you have it all over your face start the scrubbin! For about 20 to 30 seconds. This is all your going to need to feel that radiant glow come threw! Once you are all done scrubbing wash away everything with warm water and with a towel, tap your face till dried. 
Do you feel the power of softness and smooth on your skin? :)
You can do this once a week at night so that when your sleeping your pores can open up and breathe easy!
