Favorite face masks!

Hi!!!

I hope you are all well and that you've had an amazing week! I'm grateful and I thank God! This post will be all about my recent favorite face masks. I make a face mask for my face twice a week, first I exfoliate and then wear the mask. I have been usig the green clay mask and recently started with the tumeric mask.

Green clay mask
I buy this from my local pharmacist and it's in powder form that I just mix with water into a thick paste and put on my face and let it sit for a couple of minutes before washing it off. It makes my face feel cool and clean. It helps with acne and reduces blemishes.

Tumeric mask
This is my newest mask and I like it. I just mix tumeric powder with lemon juice and milk. You can mix to your own convinience. The powder can be bought in your supermarket in the spice aisle. One thing to really be carful about is to not get the powder or the mixture on your clothes beacause remember that tumeric stains. Mix it to a thick past and pout on your face and let it sit for a couple of minutes (20min). This mask helps to brighten your skin and reduces blemishes and leaves your skin looking even toned.

If you want an easier face mask you can just squeeze som lemon juice and put it on your face avoiding contact with your eyes and let it sit for a couple of minute and wash off. This helps brighten your skin, reduces blemishes and exfoliate. You can also put the lemon on your lips to exfoliate some dead skin!

Have you tried any of these face masks? whats your favorite face mask? share :)

My hair

Hi!

So it's been a while since I posted. I've been consumed with school and work. I just want to talk a little about my hair. I've had my setbacks here and there and I find it so hard to wear my natural hair out because I don't know how to style it. So I've been wearing scarves and wigs since being natural soon for 2years now. I have nothing against being relaxed or natural, it's all about knowing what works for you and how you best take care of your hair.

I had a bad microbraid experience where I lost hair around my edges more on one side than the other, and I basically decided to let my hair grow back before getting another relaxer again so here I am. I use castor oil on my edges and I've been doing it consistently now for more than 6months and I can finally see some growth now.

I'm very simple with my hair care and I plan on doing other posts about other steps I take for my hair. I plan on protective styling for 6 months and retain more growth from january to this summer of 2016.

I want to very soon incorporate working out to see how much this can affect my hair growth, I already drink a lot of water and moisturise regularly. I wash my hair every other week to keep a clean and healthy scalp as well. That's enough for know, here are some pictures of my sad edges and my hair right now. The first pictures are my edges last summer 2015, the middle one is how I protect my hair in cornrows, before putting my scarf on, I don't wear the wig anymore since I found out it was too much tension for my edges and made my edges recover slowly, the last ones are my edges today.

  

Stay blessed and stay tuned! :D

Health and Beauty tip for a lifetime!

Hello!!

I'm back! For this first week of january I want to share a health/beauty regimen that I have stayed consistent with for over 2 weeks now. It's drinking water with lemon every morning and night. I also try drinking more water during the day to stay hydrated (at least six big glasses), but I never skip my one glass each morning before eating anything and my last glass just before going to bed every single day.

For the morning glass I like drinking it warm. I have seen a change in my skin, I don't break out as easily and I have clearer skin, this is just the beginning so I plan on sharing pics later after being consistent with this regimen for a couple of months. I want you guys to also try it with me. I always drink my lemon water with a straw to protect my teeth, so don't forget to do that as well!

Here are just some of the benefits of drinking water with lemon:

It balances to maintain the pH-levels in the body

Helps with digestion

Helps flush out toxins and strengthens the liver

Better immune system and helps battle common cold

Great looking skin, prevents acne and wrinkles

Maintain the health of the eye, eye sight etc.

It's rich with Vitamin C and helps purify the blood

The list goes on and on and I can not say how much better I even feel, I sleep better, I don't have headaches and my skin is glowing! This is a regimen to stick to for a lifetime so let's do this together and don't forget to stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking more water.

Stay tuned and stay blessed! :D

Goals for 2016!

Heey!!

2016 is finally here, we made it and it's the time to make the most of it. As a lot of people we all have goals for each year, i'm at a point in my life where I REALLY want to achieve what I set my mind to this year and for the future. We are all only getting older and wiser so we better make the most of our lives. I wanted to make this post so I can share with you some of my goals that I will be sharing on the blog and you can of course join me so we can grow all together. Here are some of my goals:

• Take this hair care thing SERIOUSLY and really grow my hair (I plan on making a post more about this in detail)
• Have healthy and smooth skin, more effort in beauty and style
• Having a healthy lifestyle in terms of working out more
• Making the most of every single day (time is precious)
• Make this blog grow and have a platform online

These are my top 5, and of course I also have som personal goals in my life that I will be working on as well. Another thing I would encourage everyone to do is simply being happy, life is so much more beautiful when you have a different aspect of viewing life.

Stay tuned and Stay Blessed! xoxo
