The most important things that will have you feeling amazing and healthier in your daily life!
* Keep your hydration up! Drink lots of water and if you don't like plan water, try Coconut Water! Great replacement and full of healthy nutrients and benefits!
* Eat natural sugars, so load up on fruits and vegetables in replace of artificial sugars! When cravings hit, grab a piece of fruit or a few vegetables.
* Cleanse your skin daily 2x a day minimum
* Moisturize accordingly to your skin type.
* Make it a routine to exfoliate 2x a week to get rid of dead skin cells and introduce a fresh, healthy layer of skin to the surface and have a beautiful glow to your skin.
The biggest mistake the average person makes when it comes to their Skincare routine is consistency! For a balanced and fresh look you should make sure to cleanse 2x a day, moisturize 2x a day and exfoliate 2-3x a week depending on your skin's condition.

Natural and Earth Friendly Cosmetics
Product Review #1 - No Miss Cosmetics
I have had the wonderful experience of trying out No Miss Ltd. Cosmetics and I'm absolutely addicted.
This article is going to be on a couple No Miss Shadows and Liquid Eyeliners.
Sebring Shadow and Tallahassee Tan
These colours are more of neutral brown tones and go with any outfit. If you want a casual yet sleek look these are great shadows for either day or night. There is no residue left over, they blend well and throughout the day you do not need to touch up anything and there is no separation from the shadow from the eyelid if applied properly.
Ingredients: Silica, Mica and Iron Oxide
Brown and Black Liquid Eyeliner
I have to say, I was skeptical at first when I noticed it was a liquid eyeliner but turns out the application of the product is smooth, due to the amazing and precise applicator brush and the colour is vibrant and you only need a little because it really goes a long way. The liner stays on all day and doesn't run which that is a product worth keeping because having makeup that runs isn't a good thing. The great thing about this liner is, if you make a mistake, you can easily touch it up with a Q-Tip that has a bit of water on the tip. Easy cleanup.
Ingredients: Honeysuckle Flower Extract, Bergamot Oil, Green Tea Extract, Jojoba Oil, Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter
Overall I give these products an 8/10 and hope you get a chance to try them because they are really worth the chance.

The How To Deal With Blocked Pores In Everyday Life Resulting in Milia
Now a lot of you are probably thinking what is that five letter word? I have never heard of that word before! And you probably have that confused look on your face. But wait, I will explain it is a language we all can understand! :)
Do you ever wonder what those tiny white bumps on your face are? They show up under your eyes, beside your nose, chin, cheeks, and even along your hair line? Well that is what we call milia. (pronounced Meal-lee-ah). Now I know some of you are saying, "oh yeah i know what that is now!" or "i am still not following what that is!"
Milia- milia is a superficial cyst filled with dead skin cells and debris. Which is sometimes called a small calcium deposit under the skins layers.
Also, if you have developed them along the hairline then it is from excess amount of hair products either not washed out enough or it has made contact with your skin and throughout the day you perspire which can cause a blocked pore. The only way to safely remove them is to use a lancet. (Lancet is an instrument that has a sharp end, but is not a needle and is only to be used by a Certified/ Licenced Skin Therapist.)
If you have no time to see a professional then you are able to exfoliate the areas of concern by yourself at home, just it may take a bit longer to get rid of them. Next time you schedule a facial ask your therapist what they would recommend and if they can look at any milia you may have.
To keep your pores and skin hydrated make sure you are drinking lots of water!
Enjoy!!

Sanitizing Your Tweezers
If you are using your tweezers to pluck your eyebrows because you haven't got up the courage to get them waxed or you are just using them to touch up any hairs that randomly show up, you need to properly sanitize, clean and take care of them.
I do not expect you to have the big named chemicals and disinfectants like Barbicide but if you have mild liquid soap, nail brush (local dollar store) small candle holder and rubbing alcohol will work just perfectly and be affordable.
Before you put your tweezers into the rubbing alcohol you need to scrub your tweezers with the mild soap to remove any excess hairs, skin debris, dirt, oil etc. Rinse them with warm water and set the tweezers into the glass with the end you remove the hair into the alcohol solution.
Its important to do this because each time you are removing the hair follicle you remove a part of the hair (ball of the hair) that was under the skin and you have now exposed your open pore to dirt and debris, you just want to make sure every thing is sanitized and clean so you do not develop infections, ingrown hairs or spread any infections that could be contagious.
