Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend 🙂 Just uploaded a new video talking to you about my favorite natural face mask using raw honey! Honey is very powerful as it contains lots of great enzymes, vitamins and anti septic properties that are great for the skin. It’s also amazing to, of course, eat honey as well, but I unfortunately still haven’t found a love for the taste! Maybe one day 🙂 But for now, I apply it directly to my face and it does wonders!   This jar of honey I use is called “Really Raw Honey” and it’s about $10 for 1lb! It lasts me a good six months, so it’s really inexpensive and works just as good as the high-end face masks (possibly even better) and you don’t have to worry about harsh chemicals, fragrances and irritants. It’s important to use raw honey in particular because that means it hasn’t been heated or processed, so it still contains all its essential nutrients and enzymes (which are usually destroyed otherwise when heated and processed).  Summary of a few of the benefits of raw honey for the skin:– It has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties (great for healing cuts and burns and killing bacteria)– It’s packed with nutrients and minerlas such as vitamin B, iron, calcium…– It contains gluconic acid, a mild alpha hydroxy acid which brightens the complexion – It has a pH level of 4.5 so it falls within the skin’s natural healthy range– When mixed […]

Good morning lovelies! Hope everyone is having a good weekend 🙂 Been cleaning out and organizing everything in my wardrobe to make room for some new things I purchased whilst in London – which I will show you in an upcoming haul. Am so happy with everything I bought! I also strangely love getting rid of things I don’t wear anymore. I prefer quality over quantity – and I just give the things I don’t need anymore to charity. I also received an amazing present from the wonderful crew at The Platform, which is a channel under the network I am part of. They have great fashion & beauty videos which are really fun to watch – and is the home of the fabulous P’Trique, whom you might have seen on America’s Next Top Model. They really outdid themselves with this package. It includes some amazing products from Urban Decay, NARS, Benefit and even YSL. To say I was excited would be an understatement lol 🙂   It came in this gorgeous lilac makeup bag in a big gold box wrapped in ribbon ♥   Josie Maran BearNaked Wipes – These look so good. They’re free or harsh ingredients & contain Argan oil which I love! They also donate a portion of every package sold to the NRDC’s Polar Bear SOS initiative 🙂 Benefit POREfessional Primer – I’ve heard so many great things about this primer, can’t wait to try!

Just a quick post to show you the nail combo I was wearing in my latest video! I’ve been really into experimenting with different subtle nail art recently. This color by Essie, called A Crewed Interest, is gorgeous on it’s own, but felt like adding a little sparkle to it so I paired it with this gold fleck polish by Milani, appropriately called “Gold”. I first just painted all my nails with the nude pink color, then did a stripe down the center the gold flecks. Easy! And looks pretty cute 🙂

Good morning angels! Filmed a health video yesterday, talking about 5 ways that you can get healthy starting today. Simple little things that can make such a big difference! I love that you guys are interested in my health videos 🙂 It’s such an important part of beauty.  Something I didn’t mention is to drink as much WATER during the day as possible! I am sure you guys have heard that before, but it is SO important for beautiful and healthy bodies. Also, when working out and eating healthy, instead of thinking “I’m doing this to be skinny”, replace it with “I want to be HEALTHY and FEEL & LOOK amazing”. You will get a lot further with a smart and healthy attitude and your results will be much better!  Helpful Links: ♥ Life Regenerator (juicing & health videos): http://www.youtube.com/user/liferegenerator  ♥ TUMBLR Health & Fitness BLOGS (great for motivation & inspiration!) – http://thefitmiss.tumblr.com/ – http://live–love–fitness.tumblr.com/ – http://andthenirun.tumblr.com/ – http://healthy-inspiration.tumblr.com/ Here’s a little closer look of the makeup I am wearing in the video.

Let’s take a moment to admire this gorgeous nail polish room, it’s a beauty lover’s candy land. This little nail salon is located at the ultra glam Dorchester Hotel Spa. Everything at this spa is pretty pricey, to say the least, and I actually much prefer the $12 mani’s I get in NYC! But it was fun sitting there taking it all in and the spa itself is just gorgeous. Definitely not something you see everyday!  Fishnet Stockings Nail Polish by Essie

Hello lovely readers! Happy friday 🙂 I want to show a couple pictures of my new hair cut & color. I definitely needed to fix up my blonde ombre as it was getting a little too light for my skin tone and started looking a little unnatural towards it’s final days 🙂 The ends were also really dry and needed to be cut. It feels so fresh and healthy now! Couldn’t be happier with it. Of course a good blow dry doesn’t hurt either 🙂 but I’ll get the hang of styling this new do soon. The color: The blonde was fun for the summer and really wanted to change my hair up, but I was ready to go back to my natural color. To remove the golden ombre I had before, my hairdresser just applied a dark toner all over, as opposed to coloring it. A toner is great as the color just sits on top of the hair and therefore doesn’t penetrate and damage as much. It also moisturizes the hair by adding protein back to the hair (which is usually lost while bleaching). Another benefit of a toner, is that the hair wont appear dull since a few highlights will still peak through, giving it nice dimension. Since toners are semi-permanent however, I’ll need to get a touch up now and then, but this should last me about 2 months.  The cut: It’s so much shorter! But I love it 🙂 Feels so fresh & sleek. The cut is a lightly layered style, with some shorter layers […]
