Your Skin's BFF in Plant Form!!!

What in the *bleep* is that alien organic lookin' thing-a-ma-bobber? Uh, if you're a smarty-pants plants girl, then you might've guessed, ALOE! You deserve a prize! How 'bout buyin' your very own? You probably already know that aloe vera is great for soothing skin that's injured or sunburned. But here are two things you maybe didn't know: Aloe is really amazing at helping pimple scars heal much faster, and an aloe plant is so low-maintenance that even a person with the pinkest thumb can keep it tickin'-alive. No joshin' here, let's just say my purrfect garden is havin' surrius ish's. Not so with the ALOE! Um...hi, breaking off plant leaves should be a surrius "no no" but not in this case...it's just grows more! Break off the leaves, squeeze out the squishy stuff and see your face thank you for life! Are your girlies jealous? Break them off some leaves too, when their mayjer break-out occurs!

FREE Homemade Bar of Soap - Cloud 9

Click HERE to treat your mod bod with HOMEMADE sudsy-soapy! Here's what Cloud 9 has to say about it, "The difference is the glycerin content. Glycerin is a natural by-product of saponification, which is the soap making process. When a commercial soap is processed, the glycerin is removed and sold to the cosmetic industry and others because it is a valuable by-product. This wonderful glycerin is all left in a handmade bar of soap."

Glycerin is a humectant...a substance which attracts moisture to your skin. In other words, it moisturizes your skin. Glycerin is what creates the silky feeling you notice when using a bar of homemade soap.

DIY Eggcellent Facial

So, I'm gettin' the lumpscious knot at the adam's apple level just thinking about raw eggs and my babyskin face in the same sentence! But surriously, all heebie-jeebies aside...this is a fool-proof facial that will make those pores shrink to mere nothingness! How you say? Because...um..did I mention it's makeup artist Jeffrey Paul's recipe? Say no more...I'm whipping the whites as I speak.

“Whip egg whites into a foam and apply a thin layer to your face, with either a brush or fingers. Let dry. After 10 to 15 minutes, you will feel the egg firm on your skin, which will tell you that it’s time to rinse it off.”

Ach'hem...Excuse me while I dry-heave myself to my flawless face! Were you a brave princess in shining amore? How'd it go?

Baby Products Are For Grown Babies Too!


I've been thinking lately about the more "natural" ways in life [i.e. organic food, green friendly homes, clean water, etc]. It may seem like a trend but there's truth to it. Have you ever wondered what the ingredients are in your make-up and beauty products? Yeah, stuff so strong and artificial it'll clean an oven. Research has shown that some of the chemicals found in most of our everyday beauty essentials cause cancer! Hey, open up jar of cucumber melon body balm and lather on the cancer! Sick! Are we all dying to look good, literally? This stuff can give me the creepers. There's no way to avoid it all [we can't buy 100% organic everything all the time] but could we be helping ourselves out by going back to baby basics? I've used 'em and they work great if not better than my "grown-up" girl versions. The ingredient list is shorter and contains more known ingredients. If you'd put it on a baby - heck, put it on yourself!

Here are some baby brands that do the trick for us grown-up girls:
-Pamper's Sensitive Baby Wipes: use 'em to remove makeup. They're hypoallergenic, fragrance free, and a whole lot cheaper than other facial wipes [only 7 cents per wipe]. So are you going to try the wipe's good enough for your baby's bum?

-Big Brave Boo-Boo Balm: use it for your driest of dry skin or in place of those hand sanitizer gels. it'll do the trick and quick because it has coconut oil, antibacterial/fungal/viral ingredients.

-Classic Johson's Baby Shampoo: i used to use this stuff in high school and it worked great! i can't believe i've forgotten about this find. it smells amazing and works great too!

-My Personal Fav, Burt's Bees Baby Powder: it does the trick inbetween washing my hair. it's talc free, smells great, and gives my hair extra body! i love all burt's bees products. they are the closest thing to "safe" products and they smell so yummy! grab some for your lil' baby bee too!

Do you have a baby product that's not only for baby, but you too?
