Pamper trick?

Has to included the blogs favorite food item, EVERYONE has!

Soothing and anti-inflammatory, oatmeal contains beta glucan, a soluble fiber that creates a thin, moisture-retaining film on the surface of the skin

. Place a handful of whole oats in a clean washcloth and use a rubber band to secure it. Next, immerse it in a sink full of warm water and squeeze the bag four or five times. Once the water is cloudy, splash it on your face and then air-dry. (If you must towel dry, pat as gently as possible.)

Pamper with me

Hello everyone!

soooo sorry i haven't been able to post i have been so busy in fact today i am actually at an orientation at FIU in Miami, so hopefully the timer post works!

when i get back full report on bruno (dont go! haha) and boys band performance!

 Today i want to show you girls 2 EZPZ (haha sorry i had to) recipes for your skin!

*you might be tempted to eat these but don't! haha*

EZPZ Skin glowing/cleansing Mask

• 1 tbsp honey
  
• 2 tbsp finely ground almonds
  
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  

Mix them all together, rub on wet face gently and then rinse it off with warm water. After i suggest using a toner since your pores will be slightly opened to clean it out ( i use witch hazel, cheap and simple) then your moisturizer of choice to close everything up. 

EZPZ SUMMER SCRUB

• 1 Peach, super duper ripe.
  
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
  
• 1/3 cup white sugar
  
• 1/3 cup olive oil
  

Peel peach and mash it up into a goop, mix all ingredients together. On wet skin massage/scrub the mix onto skin. Do not let it come off right away. remember you are pampering yourself, this should not be rushed massage untill you do not want to massage anymore. Rise it off. 

Have fun with these girls, i always have fun using things in my kitchen for my pampering days because i know it has no harsh chemicals and if i can swallow them then they should be perfect for my skin.

OPTIONAL: give your self a lil time to do this podcast runs 21:21 but yga for about 17min. Try it out even if you have never done yoga, you can stop anytime you want. Also i think medatative yoga on pampering days make one calm and feel energized. 

Have a great day girls! hope you enjoyed it!

Pamper me monday!

TODAY IS PAMPER ME MONDAY

SO i used to everyweek have a pamper me day. this is where i pamper myself and relax. I used to do all natural treatments and every week i plan on doing a new DIY spa treatment. today i am sticking with the basics using grocery store finds

• Yoga for an hour- i did one of the classs i bought from yogatoday.com it is the strength and tone class, which runs for abou 62min. this class was awesome, a lot of different back bend and hopping to switch legs,planks and such. I was a lot of fun and challanging but at the same time flowing with your breath.
• Hair mask using john freda hair shine
• exfoliate skin in a hot shower- this mimicks a steam when standing away from water
• Mask on my face- nothing special just one i found in my bathroom
• painted my fingers and toes a shiny pink
• moisturize my whole body with a lotion for dry skin so my body can become softer.

I havent pampered myself in such a long time this day is a selfish day, usally i feel bad about being selfish (i am all about making around me come first) but i def needed this. Next week i will be useing natural ingredient like coconut butter, or oils or something all natural not useing these chemical products. 

For the rest of the day i am going to watch girly movies, im thinking confessions of a shopaholic and devil wears prada. I love girly movies they really make me in a much better mood.

Food this morning brekkie i had blueberry oat bran, there is no picture, it was really yucky looking but yummy. 

What do you do to pamper yourself?
