Fabulous beauty uses for Olive Oil


Purchase a bottle of extra Virgin Olive Oil from your local grocery store and you won't turn back.

MAKEUP REMOVER - Dab a little oil on a tissue or cotton pad. Smear over eyes to take off stubborn mascara, eye shadow and eyeliner. Works like a charm.

SKIN MOISTURIZER - Make sure your face is squeaky clean before bed. Apply a dime sized amount evenly on face. This trick makes your skin extra moisturized and youthful looking the next day.

SHAVING AID - Smoother over the target area and watch as this inexpensive alternative moisturizes and does the job well. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for a pleasant smelling shave.

Natural Beauty Tips: Homemade Moisturizers for Dry Skin


Hydrating Facial Mask
In a small bowl, mix one avocado, one raw egg, and one teaspoon of coconut oil to form a creamy paste. Apply the paste to your face and let it work its magic for 25 - 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Raw eggs and avocados contain natural moisturizing proteins, making them a super combo for fresh, luxurious skin. Adding coconut oil provides a boost of antioxidants.

Milk Bath
Fill your bathtub with warm water and add up to five cups of rich, whole milk or buttermilk. Light a few candles, turn on some tunes, and soak yourself for twenty to thirty minutes. Milk contains proteins that can help smooth and rejuvenate dry skin.

Oatmeal and Yogurt Exfoliant

Mix one cup uncooked oatmeal and a few spoonfuls of plain yogurt to create an exfoliating paste. Use as a gentle body scrub to remove dry, flaky skin and dead skin cells. The oatmeal will do the scrubbing while the yogurt does the moisturizing.

Maintain a Healthy Diet
Be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day and eat foods high in nutrients. Think fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats. Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco - all skin dehydrators, and avoid processed and packaged foods as much as possible.

Natural Beauty Tip - Vinegar with Shampoo


Add one tablespoon of Vinegar to an extra bottle of shampoo. Use this homemade treatement once a week.

Vinegar is good for removing build up and closing up hair cuticles. The vinegar also helps remove scaly build up. If the scales on your hair cuticles lay flat, that gives your hair the chance to be shinier. Apple cider vinegar is a good choice for trying this out. You can also use plain white vinegar.

iPod touch & iPhone application: BUMP!


This is one of the coolest applications I've seen (so far). It's free and doesn't use that much memory.

Click here for a brief description on how it works.

One of my Fave M.A.C products


This product is a MUST have for every female that enjoys a shiny lip. The colour is sheer and gives a nice gold shimmer to the lip. It's not sticky like a gloss and is very compact for your purse or clutch.

I wear it alone without a lip liner. You can pair it with a matte lipstick to help brighten things up for the evening.

Product Detail:

Provides the shine and moisturizing comfort of a gloss but with a smooth, non-sticky finish. Distinctive on and off. Comes packaged in its own stylish extra-long lipstick case.
