Self Love Requires Honesty | #SLS

I've come to realize, the hard way, that I've had and still have a lot of healing to do! Self Love is not an overnight thing *insert Percy Sledge song*. It takes time to reach a comfortable level of contentment with self. It's a journey; one of upward toil but one of positive growth. In our journey of Self Love, it is integral that we seek to know ourselves, accept who we are and live freely in our truth.  In seeking to know and embrace our truest selves, a process of self reflection and introspection helps. The trauma; experiences that we go through have fashioned us into the persons that we are today. Our personalities, our self esteem; the way we interact with others, our imposed standards, our expectations are all influenced by the way we see ourselves; by the way we think and feel about ourselves. It's 'human nature' to first be negative before positive and unappreciative before we see good, so in order to change our thinki...

Skin Care Is A MUST!! :)

-

Anyone who knows me personally knows that I love taking care of my skin.  Some of my friends may even attest to the smooth and soft appearance of my skin! I really enjoy taking care of my skin and I believe that every woman (and man alike) should make time every day to take care of their skin.

Your skin requires 110% of your love and devotion in order to appear and feel the way you want it to... Soft, Smooth, Supple, Energized, Moisturized, Hydrated, Glowing, Full of Life!! Neglecting your skin now can lead to you hating it as you grow older.... :(

❤ Skin Care Starts From Inside -> Out!

 I cannot stress how much influence what you eat and drink have on the appearance of your skin.  It is important to have a healthy diet in order to have and keep the skin of your dreams... Many skin conditions are influenced by what we eat, like acne and dry skin so it is also important to include those good foods in our diet that help to give us good skin. <<< Check out the link :)

We also need to hydrate our skin from the inside out. Drinking lots of water is important. Click here for more benefits of drinking water.




The lifestyle habits that we enjoy can also influence how our skin appears. Smoking and alcohol consumption is bad for our general health and is also bad for our skin. In taking care of your skin, a holistic lifestyle change must be made to your diet.
Always remember, good food loves your skin! 'Good food' does not generally mean good tasting food, so you'll have to be ready to prepare the foods you don't appreciate, to the best taste that you prefer, healthily. The very greasy foods like french fries, foods with refined sugar, can help develop and even prolong 'bad skin' (skin that is acne prone).

❤ Skin Care: It's Easy!

My skin care routine has been the same for quite some time, the only changes are what I use.  I've set a regime that suits my time and my pocket and it has been very easy to maintain. In taking care of your skin, you need to devise a plan and stick to it! My Basic and Current Routine for my face can be found here.

My face routine is basically, Cleanse, Tone & Moisturize daily. My entire body is also cleansed and moisturized daily to remain supple, smooth and hydrated. On Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays I treat my face to Homemade Facials and my body to invigorating, exfoliating Body Scrubs that are ever so enjoying and they really work! In my next posts, I'll share with you my recent Homemade Facials that I've been loving.
Here They Are:
**Potato Face Mask
**Mayo-Oat Facial

❤ Skin Care Can Be Inexpensive

I'm the kind of person who's always in the kitchen cooking up something that's not to eat... I love making concoctions for both my hair and my skin. My skin care  routine, as mentioned above is quite simple. Many things that I have in my kitchen to cook with can be used as a part of my skin care.  The products I purchase to help my skin to remain beautiful do just what is required and are inexpensive.

There are many high-end products in the market that can do wonders for your skin but many are not necessarily needed. Keep your skin healthy and beautiful at your means! I don't mind using expensive products at all... that's what my Beauty Bottle Savings (Post Coming Soon) is for.



❤ Skin Care Requires Your Time!!

Yes I know I said this before but I just can't stress how much you need to ensure you make time to take care of your skin... Do you take time off to brush you teeth daily? I would hope so!! :)
Then it should be easy as that.

I'll be posting about my Love For Skin Care for the rest of the year as I try to motivate you to take care of your skin. It is my purpose to share with you what I'm up to and to also learn from your feedback.

Skin Care Is A MUST!! :)

Worlds of Curls Product Reviews

-

Since I have naturally kinky-curly hair, I decided to try two products from the Worlds of Curls brand to see how they'll work for me. I purchased both the Curl Activator and the Curly Pudding. These type of products are known to either define curls or stretch them out but after reading many product reviews, I've come to realize that the outcomes are different from person to person given the different hair types, techniques of use and styling. Let's Start with the Curl Activator! Worlds of Curls Curl Activator This products claims to be 3 steps in one; Curl Activator, Conditioner and Oil Sheen. It advertises that it's for extra dry hair. I've had this product for more than a year. I purchased a 32oz container, deciding that I'd try all the possible ways to use this product. On the back of the container, it says: Worlds of Curls Curl Activator (for extra dry hair) is another key step in Our Total Hair Care Maintenance System. Worlds of Curls Acti...

My Current Face Moisturizers: Pond's Clarant B3 (February 2013)

Pond's Clarant B3: Normal To Oily Skin For many years I have sworn by this face product. I have been using it to moisturize my face during both the day and the night.  It does exactly what it promises. The packaging states that it is a "Dark Spot Correcting Moisturizer". It has indeed, cleared up any marks that was left by untimely blackheads.  It also states that it "Evens Skin Tone in 2 Weeks and "Reduces the appearance of Dark Spots In 4 Weeks". These statements are also true for me. Some people may be worried that skin bleaching/whitening may occur, this is not likely at all. It is Dermatologist Tested, Hypoallergenic and it Won't Clog Pores.  I would recommend that you try a small bottle to determine how much you like it (if it works for you). Here's a pic: I do as the bottle says an apply it to my entire face and neck.  I also apply it as a base for any makeup that I may wear.  It is lightweight and does not leave my face stic...

Faith In The Journey | Dr. Dominique Baptiste DDS

We have so much to be thankful for! Yes, "WE". You do, and I do! If you are alive and reading this, God has blessed you in a mighty way. Your being alive is a testimony to His power to protect, provide and keep His promises. It also means that He has given you additional time to live out His purpose in your life. All this is up to you because He has blessed you with the wonderful gift of choice. It's up to you to choose love over hate, to choose positivism over negativity and to choose faith over fear. It's really not an easy road. While we are choosing, we have the enemy to contend with. It's important that we remember that we can't overcome his obstacles alone. God is with us every step of the way,  with stretched out hands. Every decision for Him is an acceptance of His hand. The enemy's job is to drive a wedge between us and God and he's had years of studying us, under his belt. To keep the connection between us and God tight, we have to be devot...
