Want amazing skin? Try Lemons!



Lemons, lemons, lemons!

How can such a simple fruit be so amazing to skin?


Why does a lemon work?:

-It has AHAs and BHAs (natural chemicals) that get the dead, dull skin cells out, and reveal beautiful, glowing skin.

...that of course helps get beautiful skin, and if used overtime, it can also help with discoloration.


How to Prepare:

What you need:

-lemons (lime is also acceptable...but lemons are preferred)
-olive oil (extra virgin)
-sugar (brown or regular...both will work)

Cut your lemon in half, spritz some olive oil on it, and top it off with some sugar. After that, just scrub it on your face!

Rinse with cold water to close pores, and remember to moisturize intensively afterwards!


Story Time!

This is a REAL story! I have some discolored skin around my eye area, and any amount of foundation, concealer...still doesn't help.

I have tried this lemon trick, everyday, for a couple of days, and I've noticed that, that area has slowly coming back to normal skin.


I hope this helps you guys! Summer is almost here...so I suppose it's time to get wonderful skin! Have fun!

MUST HAVES Checklist for Prom

That time of the year is coming once again...
Dance, Proms, graduations, parties, field trips...and of course summer!

Well, I'm actually going to a dance, and so I wondered...it would be pretty helpful if I kind of had a check list as I was getting ready for the dance. I picked up my notebook and started making one. After that, I decided...Why not share it with you guys?

So we're going to go "head to toe" (hopefully I get everything!) :


-HAIR. => How should I style it? Do I have the products needed? Should I wash that day, or the night before? Up or down?




-FACIAL => Do I want a facial? Should I go do a DIY facial or at salon?





-WAXING => Did I remember to wax upper lip...etc.?






-MAKEUP = > (super super big!) WHAT ARE MY MAKEUP LOOKS?






-BODY => Tip: No matter if your dance is one month or one day away; start drinking lots of water! Water will remove any toxins from your skin...which gives beautiful, radiant skin.

=> Again, no matter if you are one month or one day, I would highly suggest doing yoga or pilates before your dance. It will help tone your muscles.

TIP: For example, if your dress is strapless, try doing a lot of moves with ARMS to get toned arms. Or if you're wearing a mini dress, try getting moves with legs.





SKIN => Use a good good good body scrub before the dance! After that, moisturize intensively!





ShapeWear => If you are planning to wear shapewear with your dress, then make sure it fits you perfectly...and that no one can see that your wearing it!






PURSE => Do I have everything I need in my purse? http://tsorain.blogspot.com/2011/05/whats-in-prom-purse.html





NAILS => Am I going to the salon to get my nails done? Am I using artificial nails?





MANI/PEDI => Do I want a manicure and pedicure before the dance? Do I have my appointment? Or am I giving myself a DIY manicure/pedicure?




TAN => Do I want a tan? So should I spray tan (recommend) or go actually get a tan?






DRESS => Are you pleased with your dress?



I hope that you guys enjoyed this!

Here's a little tip: Prepare for the Worst.

Make sure you have everything you possibly need in your purse (if it fits!), ...but the key to having a great event is to just smile and have fun!

So what if your makeup came off, or your hair is nappy, or your arms are flabby, or if you have zits..? JUST SMILE...LAUGH, AND HAVE A GOOD TIME !

When people see you...your smile is the absolute first thing that people see first! If your happy...then their attention won't go to your imperfections...it'll stay at the smile!

Sorry if that was confusing...but have fun! haha!

celebrate!

If your having a bad day...

Yesterday and today...I've having a bad day. In fact, the whole week has been horrible...

I've always been like "I'm so unlucky!" or "Why couldn't I get that?" or "WHY ME?"

The last week...I've been through crying, thinking deeply, screaming, and just thinking about what life really is.

But this one video changed my viewpoint. My day. Check it out:




This is of course, late, because it's for the HAITI earthquake relief...but still. Think about what happened in Japan, all the children in Africa, in Haiti.

When I watched this, I cried. I thought about how lucky I am...thinking about the wonderful parents, family, home, love I have. And I think about how beautiful these children are...how they are still smiling, fighting through the days; even if all this has happened.

It's amazing.

Please please please, think about them.
Please change their lives...by DONATING.

Here is the American Red Cross website (try looking in the upper right corner for donations):



Thank you guys. And ...

WE LOVE YOU JAPAN
WE LOVE YOU AFRICA
WE LOVE YOU HAITI

WE LOVE YOU! STAY STRONG! WE LOVE YOU WITH ALL OUR HEARTS! WE LOVE YOU!
KEEP STRONG! WE LOVE YOU

we <3 you!
