Do This With Me: Easy Face Mask

Hey guys! I'm going to show your how to create this easy face mask at home. My skin so needs soothing so, let's get started! All you need is a fork, bowl, honey, olive oil, a clean foundation brush and a microwave! Ha ha, not much!! :P 2 tbs of honey in the bowl and 1 tbs of olive oil, now just mix it with the fork. Mix it really well! Ok, pop it in the microwave for 20 secs. Take it out, test it to see if it's not too warm and if it past the test (yay, 100%) then apply it with the foundation brush. Wait for 5-10 minutes and rinse it all off. Your skin should feel fresh and hydrated, perfect for dry skin! Good luck. Bye for now my brilliant bollies!

Do This With Me: Homemade Avocado Facials!

Hey guys! I'm going to show you how to make a simple avocado facial. You'll need: 
                              - Half an avocado (seed removed)
                              - A Tablespoon and a half of honey
                              - A teaspoon of organic yogurt
                              - And if you really want, 2 slices of cucumber
                              - A fork & a clean brush (to apply on your face)

Ok, take the insides of the half of the avocado and mash it all in a bowl with the fork. And of course, make sure you remove the skin of the avocado. Now add the honey. Time for the organic yogurt! Now mix it all with your fork. Wash and dry your face with warm water and make sure there is nothing on it. Apply the mixture onto your face with the clean foundation brush, you may need to go over it a couple of times. Time for the cucumber, just gently place them on your eyes and relax. Leave the face mask on for at least an hour. Now wash the face mask off using a warm, wet face towel. You skin should feel refreshed, radiant and clean, you could even have a shiny glow if you're lucky! Hoped you enjoyed this, good luck. Bye for now my brilliant bollies!
FACTS:  Yogurt is ideal for acne prone skin because it contains lactic acid, which kills bacteria. Plain yogurt is mildly acidic and can restore your skin's PH balance. If your skin is oily, you might prefer a lower fat content, but whole milk yogurt contains more nutrients. The avocado is absorbed better when the pores are open so it's best to do this after a shower or shower. 

Do This With Me: Reduce Puffy Eyes (Cucumber Pads) - Michelle Phan

So, I was watching this tutorial by Michelle Phan on YouTube and I'm just going to go over everything she said. So, this is to reduce puffy eyes! Make cucumber juice with a blender and mix it with water. Now just pour it in a bowl. Take 2 square/rectangle shaped cotton pads and soak them in the juice. Then squeeze out the excess  juice from the pads. Take a sandwich bag and place the pads in there. It'll kind of look like green cheese, eugh! Place the sandwich bag into the freezer to keep them fresh. If you want to use them straight away open them in the morning and place them on your eyes. Apparently they contain vitamin K which will prevent/reduce dark circles and they help soothe your eyes. And that's it, good luck! Bye for now my brilliant bollies!

Do This With Me: Bedtime Routine, sweet dreams

Before I go to sleep I like to get ready. So firstly I have a bath (very relaxing), bath bombs and when I go to sleep I wash my hair whilst having a bath/shower and not separately - only for bed. If you want to know what shampoo I wear then I wear Pantene. I had this one which worked really well but I can't find it in the stores any more and I can't find a picture of it so the one I'm using write now is called... well it has "beautiful lengths" written on it. And don't forget to condition your hair as well. Then I just wear my Clinique "superdefense SPF 25" moisturizer. And just apply on my face starting with my cheeks. Make sure you apply this in a circle motion, doing this will make sure the nutrients will go deep into your skin, helping it.

Done that? Next step then :) I wear my Mary Kay cream just under my eyes and on my eye-lids. Now I wear my trio of Neutrogena creams.


 I love these creams, they've really helped through  my disastrous stages of acne! He he. Anyway, moving on. Brush our teeth! You should brush your teeth 3 times a day - When you wake up, After meals (mainly lunch) and before bed - it helps. I do it and I haven't had any tooth-aches or cavities (except once when I was young), or anything like that so do it. When it comes to which toothpaste I use I don't have one particular toothpaste. There are, at the moment, 5 people living in my house (including me) so there are a range of different toothpastes, I just pick the one closest to me. I found this method on YouTube to get your teeth looking whiter and all you do is get some bicarbonate of soda or just some baking soda (the bicarbonate soda works best) and you put a tablespoon of that onto a plate and then you get a lemon or lime and squeeze the juice onto the soda and mix it well, it should turn into a paste, if you have to much lemon/lime then add a little more soda. Then you get your toothbrush and smother the bristles in the paste and brush your teeth and I think after a month you can notice better results and the person I watch this do she did for once a week and here is the link to her video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd40HBTA4Rw if you want to watch it. Now I just get olive oil and put a little bit, seriously, just a little, and apply it on my face. Again, do this in a circle motion. Sweet dreams my brilliant bollies...
