cider – Life, Lipstick, & Glowing Skin

Me too!

I’ve not bought one gift only a few stocking stuffers. How about you? These pandemic days are starting to annoy me and ruining my holiday spirit. I always find comfort in the little things. But lately it’s been a tough thing to do. This is not me. I usually choose happy. Sorry I have been a little MIA.

However, we all must stay focused and keep our eye on the prize. This pandemic will pass and a few vaccines are coming on the horizon. And WE must try and keep it going.

So since it’s National BathTub Party day. Yes, it’s a thing!

Time for a little self care. I know I share a lot of beauty, skincare and self care love. But that’s because my business is beauty and wellness!

Tonight I’ve decided to make bath 🛀 salts for some of the special people in my life.And later will take a lovely bath in a home-made potion too.

Chillax Bath Salts with Eucalyptus

Here’s what you will need to make it.

Tweak recipe if you’d like to us another essential oil or other item.

1 mason jar filled with Epsom Salts

1 eucalyptus leaf 🍃

5-6 drops of Eucalyptus oil

Fill the jar with the Epsom salts and leave some space and don’t fill to the at the lid top.

Sprinkle eucalyptus oil over the salts (I love the Aura Cacia brand)

Shake jar up so the two mix and the salts and essential oil mesh beautifully. Leave and let it set overnight. This way the Epsom salts will mesh beautifully.

Next day shake again.

Add some rustic twine or any pretty 🎀 bow or ribbon to the top of the jar or around the jar.

Include instructions that you have punch holed to the ribbon.

These salts are inexpensive to make and are great to give especially if you are on a budget this holiday season.

Add a note card with your holiday message and you’re good to go and give!

Oh the beauty of taking a bath. Especially these days!

So I hope you’ll enjoy, light a candle and add a bubbly sparkling cider or champagne to a glass and and have a party in your bathtub today! Your way!

It warms the body and soul!

An you feel the almost arrival of fall?

My husband says “I kiss better than I cook” 😁 But I so enjoy entertaining,cooking and makeup! I also love this time of year and all the decor and recipes to celebrate fall.

Today I went to the store and discovered a potpourri of pumpkins 🎃 and more.

So to celebrate 🎊 this time of year here is a recipe to do for YOU and or on your clients too! You’ll be tempted to eat it but don’t. The room will smell divine while and after making this facial treat.

Pretty Pumpkin Pie 🎃 facial mask

What you will need:

1 can of pumpkin pie filling

1 teaspoon of honey

1 sprinkle of nutmeg

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Stir in all of the above in a bowl. What you will have is a creamy and dreamy gentle natural exfoliation mask. No harsh chemicals. I find even my clients with sensitive skin love to use this and have no issues.

You may use fresh pumpkin but I love using the can in a pinch!

*But please do a patch test on the inside of your arm near your wrist or a section of your face to see if you have a slight reaction. If you have allergies to these ingredients don’t use this D.I.Y.

I like to leave this on at least 10 minutes. Rinse with luke warm water and a washcloth. Afterwards use your facial toner and moisturizer.

Place remains in a small jam or condiments jar you recycled and you can use it again in a few days.

Sip a cold glass of fresh apple 🍎 cider and you’ll make the day even more delicious.

Enjoy!
