Chilled spoons and eye cream, anyone?

This post will change your life. It is about frozen spoons. No wait! Please don't leave! This is good stuff I promise!

It's summertime. Between humidity making me feel grody and the heat making me feel, well, puffy. . .  my peepers on ocassion are less than smooth bright eyed perfection. I have an answer for that, and I think it is only fair that I share my home made beauty remedies for keeping the puff away.

Ingredients for de-puffing and brightening of the eye area:
Chilled ingredients:
Two average everyday teaspoons
One jar of Olay Regenerist Eye Serum
One average, everyday, plugged in refrigerator
Room temperature ingredients:
Benefit "Boi-ing" under eye concealer
Benefit "EyeBright" pencil
Eyelash curler
L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara

Insert clean spoons and jar of eye serum into designated spoon chilling area of refrigerator.  Let chill.  Remove spoons.  Use the curve of spoon "bowl" to gently press on puffy areas around the eye to re-distribute fluid retention and to eliminate inflammation. Apply chilled eye serum to further enhance de-puffing benefits.
Chilled spoon = magic de-puffing

Curl eyelashes.  Apply Boi-ing concealer to the undereye area and blend.  Apply EyeBright pencil to the inner corners of eyes and underneath the arch of the eyebrow. Blend.  Apply Voluminous Mascara to upper and lower lashes.

DONE!

Enjoy a refreshed, bright eyed appearance and lavish in the many compliments you will receive through out the day.

Have a Beautiful Day!

So Much More than Salad Dressing!

I'm sure you have used Apple Cider Vinegar in your salad dressing at some point, but did you know you can use it as part of your skin care regimen as well?! It is one of my favorite multi-use products ever, and here is why:

1) Homemade toner. Apple Cider Vinegar is cleansing and has antibacterial qualities. Zit today? Use some ACV, and it will be gone tomorrow.  I love using ACV toner during the humid summer months to keep my skin balanced and happy.

2) Drink it! Yep, make yourself a little ACV ditch, (that's bartender speak for one part Apple Cider Vinegar and two parts water) and enjoy the whole body cleansing benefits of vinegar. This homeopathic cocktail will deep clean your complexion from the inside out . . .if you can handle the taste, that is!! : )

ACV of choice: Bragg's Organic Apple Cider Vinegar.



Have a Beautiful Day!
