A no cook treat(: From Paula Deen

Ohhh the smell of chocolate!

A few days ago, I was sitting and watching TV, when I came to food network and I saw Paula Dean prepare an AMAZING looking desert.

I didn't even listen to what she was saying, I was just watching the food...so I missed out.

But, it looks very simple, and this is how we're gonna do it. She used Custard, but that takes too much work (haha) so I substituted it with whipped cream.

Ingredients:

-Graham Crackers

-Whipped Topping (Redi Whip)

-Melted chocolate (hot fudge, chocolate syrup..whatever you like)

Take your CONTAINER as in your pan or whatver and cover it with graham crackers. Just place it one by one making sure their covering the whole container.

Now take your Redi Whip (or w/e your using) and smear a thick layer on top of the graham crackers

Now add another layer of the Graham Crackers on top of that

And top it off with the chocolate syrup or hot fudge on top of that

Take a piece and ENJOY!

This recipe is sooo easy, so simple, and with the best ingrendients EVER! So cheap, and right in your pantry.

Love it(:

Hope you guys liked this! And you can take the pieces in a zip loc for lunch or something.

You can substitute the chocolate with white chocolate, caramel...anything you like.

Byebye!!

Who's your BFF this WINTER?

Winter is coming!

Oh Jolly!

Walmart already has all the candy and the perfume sets out. And we have about a month and a half. ! haha! But winter is coming! So is the humidity! And so will your skin!

Everyone should slightly change their skin care routine when winter rolls by. In winter, you'll have less moisture, more dry and cracked skin. How do we stop that? You prevent it. This is almost the perfect time to get started. It's starting to get windy, but before it starts to snow, get your skin prepared!

So, boy, do I have a suprise for you!

So, tell me.

Who's your BFF this WINTER?

WINTER. WINTER!!!

Lotion? that's important...but no.

Sunscreen? That's SUPER important...but no.

Cleansers? No.

Deo? Haha!

Perfume? Smelling good....but no.

Guess who just knocked?

VASELINE.

Vaseline is gonna be your BFF this WINTER, and it's always mine. Be sure, no matter what, to have a bottle of lotion and some Vaseline on your nightstand.

Get off the lip gloss ladies!

It's time for Vaseline to moisturize!

Here are some tips (and tricks!) how vaseline can help your winter skin be more clean and fresh:

-When you go to bed, dab some Vaseline on your lips. ....i think this is a no brainer. But trust me, your lips are gonna be soooo soft!

-FACIAL MOISTURIZER. Sometimes, after you clean your face, moisturize your face with Vaseline. Your skin will be soft and smooth and more moisturized then ever!

-all over body moisturizer. after you step out from your shower, smear vaseline all over you, so you get added moisture

So here comes Captain Vaseline to help you get smooth skin, BEFORE you start getting the rough skin :D

Also, another way you can stop dry skin is getting a HUMIDIFIER. Their amazing :-) Another good alternative, is if you wet some towels and just hang them on your door, chair, etc. It'll do the same thing ;)

Vaseline love.

Avocado on your bod! -say what? A romantic dinner for two- how to do a romantic chignon

Ever heard of scrubbing avocados on your body?

Like literally. And just mushing it and scrubbing it on your body like it's a soap?

I think yes.

Well! I tried it today!

And let me just tell you.

It was horrible. Horribly AMAZING!

I lovedd it!

It's so plain and simple. All you do is just mush an avocado and just...well scrub it well all over your body. Avocados have natural oils and moisturizers, so afterwards, your skin is so DANG SOFT!

I lovedd it!

It's sooo good! And especially, since we're about to hit the cold, dry months, I think that you should do it about ....let's say once per 2 weeks, or once every week.

You HAVE to try it! It leaves you skin so sofftt! Andd, their not that expensive either :DD

Now, for my romantic dinner for two. Well, to start off...NO! It's not food :P geez. haha

So what is a romantic chignon?

It's a SUPER pretty look, that is so perfect on medium to long hair. And it looks sooo pretty on anyone!

This is what you do:

-Tie a normal (low) ponytail

-Now just TWIST your ponytail

-And now just wind it back up like a bun and secure it with a band

And you can let some hair strands out for a good rocker look haha

I love this look!

It's so low maintenance, so easy, and it looks super pretty on anyone.

Well byebye guys!

Imma blow you away! -blowout

Ever heard of a BLOWOUT?

Well my friend got a haircut yesterday, and she HATED it. The hairdresser had pretty much cut her hair, and put like a gallon of gel in there.

So my friend, the immediate time she saw herself in the mirror, she simply said "thanks", her mom paid for the haircut and she got in the car, and her mom drove her home. She called me and said HELP! I seriously have no idea what to do.

So I immediately rode my bike to her house and we agreed that we would give her a BLOWOUT. (that's what she calls it atleast haha)

So she ran to the shower while I was getting all the stuff ready. She washed her hair with John Frieda Luxorious Volume Full Splendor Shampoo and it's matching conditioner.

So know we had to run back to my house and get the Redken Thickening Lotion

(you can get it off AMAZON.com)

So STEPS:

-run some thickening cream in your hair

- pull your hair BACK into a HALF ponytail

-use a medium ROUND brush and go through half and half with it for a blow dry and remember to point the nozzle DOWN

-Put on a heat defense spray/cream or something

-now STRAIGHTEN your hair but don't go all the way to the tips, stop about 2-3 inches, so it doesn't look all styled

-And your done!

You can put some COCONUT OIL to give it a little bit of a shine, or some shine serum or something.

Well that's how to master the blowout! Her hair looked normal and good and this is definetly a hairstyle that gives you a low-maintenance bed hair, toussled kinda look!

thickening cream and gallons of gel

love

P.S. She used John Frieda so it would give her a little bit more volume to add on to the straightening :-)

St. Ives Gentle Apricot Scrub, St. Ives Green Tea Cleanser and Eucerin Calming Lotion Reviews

..

I tried out 3 products and I'm gonna go ahead and tell you if they WORKED for me or not.

My skin type: Sensitive and dry :(

My face right now has one pimple, and rest of it is pretty clear.

So, I tried out the St. Ives Gentle Apricot Scrub because I heard that it works wonders, but it DID NOT work for me :/

When I used it, NO JOKE, but INSTANTLY I had acne and some breakouts.

So BEWARE! haha

But I mean there are SO MANY people that it DID work for, so if you wanna try it do a PATCH TEST.

A patch test is pretty much when you take a small area of your face, let's say for example your chin, use the product on that area. Now, if you breakout, then you obviously know it's not gonna work for you. If nothing happens so far, then...I guess you could try it out!

St. Ives is an AMAZING brand! I use their body polishes EVERY DAY! And I love their lotion (though I use Jergens). But I guess this one was an OUCH for me. Oh well :/ But if you were thinking of giving this a try, then do the patch test first. It might work for you.

So recommended: Maybe. Depending on the skin type.

Next up, is St. Ives Green Tea Cleanser:

This one worked! For me! I used it on my AM routine (I always do AM when I'm testing things out, so I actually have some time to fix it before tomorrow). It worked pretty well! It didn't do miracles though, but it did leave my skin soft and smooth.

Recommended: Yes

But I just wanna say, this DOES NOT mean that I'm ditching my flour-yogurt cleanser! Haha, I'll never do that! But this is my backup. I always have a backup for homemade things, so let's say I'm on the go, I'm gonna use this. But when I'm home and I have my flour cleanser with me, then that's it. That's my #1 cleanser. But this Green Tea Cleanser is my runnerup/backup.

My Third Review is about the Eucerin Claming Creme Daily Moisturizer. My skin was itching all the time (my arms) in the summer, and I probably used every single lotion that said "MOISTURIZER". Bad choice, I know.

But Eucerin is WONDERFUL.

After every shower you just slather that stuff on, but of course you have to do it everyday, and for some time, do give you wonders.

You can also use the bodywash and the immediate relief lotion if you have extreme itching.

Ah, how I love Eucerin! It's my repair doctor, and when I mess up, it gets me back on the track!

I Lovee! Eucerin!

Ha ha ha ha

Recommended: DEFINITELY

So those are my reviews, but I will tell you, everyone's skin is different, and be sure to do the "little spot on my face" test to make sure that you wont break out or etc.

Byebye(:

Green Tea and Apricots on your face love :D

and P.S. is COLOR not working or what?

Oh and Don't forget to subsribee!

New look!

So we have a new look on here.

whatcha guys think?

good, bad, okay....?

A list. Of what YOUR skin care routine should look like

Skin caree!

Unless your under 14ish, then I can see why you wouldn't care too much about your skin. But, personally I think that EVERY age group has worries about their skin. When your in your teens and 20s your worrying about acne, discoloration, and all that stuff. Then when you hit your 30s and 40s your worry about aging and wrinkles.

But it's never too early to start!

Having radiant, healthy skin is super easy......Naturally.

When I say "Naturally" What does that ACTUALLY mean?

It means that we use HOMEMADE stuff (maybe except our moisturizers and our sunscreen). But that's it. Meaning we make our cleansers, scrubs, etc. from natural ingredients.

And so, this is what your skin care routine should look like:

-Cleanser 2x a day

-Exfoliate (1-2 times a week)

-Steam (1-2 times a week)

-Moisturizer and sunscreen (after EVERY cleanse and exfoliate. and if it's day time sunscreen)

-toner (if you use makeup)

This is what my skin care routine looks like (and EVERY thing I use) ...and I don't use makeup (this was suggested by Mary) . :

-Homemade recipe (found in skin care) of the flour, yogurt, lemon juice, milk, turmeric..

-Moisturizer - Eucerin PLUS intensive repair enriched lotion

-Sunscreen - Water Babies SPF 50 by Coppertone (I buy a travel size ones...their about a dollar at meijers or walmart) and it's waterproof

-Exfoliate - with the lemon and sugar recipe (also found in skin care tab)

-Steam

-Coconut Oil

AM routine:

-Cleanse with my flour yogurt cleanser

-moisturize with eucerin

-put Water babies sunscreen on

-rub some baby powder (or talcum powder) same thing to make it look less oily

PM routine:

-Cleanse with my flour yogurt cleanser

-moisturize with eucerin ORRR on some days I feel like it, I put COCONUT OIL and go to sleep

And some special days:

-I treat myself to a facial mask

ON SATURDAYS (PM routine):

-STEAM. (will be explained below)

-Exfoliate with lemon sugar

-moisturize (usually with eucerin)

Okay. So what is STEAM? Steam is pretty much a sauna...only for your gorgeous face.

It's a really simple process actually. This is what you'll need:

-HOT water

-salt (optional)

-microwave or something to get it kind of boiling

-large bowl

-towel

So in your bowl run some hot water in from the tap. Usually the steam doesn't last. So take it to the microwave and put it on for 10-30 sec. It should be boiling. Sprinkle in some salt if you'd like. Now take the bowl to a table. Put it on a table and hold the towel over your head. Now just pretty much get the steam to touch your face gently (so not too close) and do it for about the time when there's no more left.

Steaming helps to open your pores more effectively and it feels amazing too!

^^ STEAMING! :-)

Now you wanna EXFOLIATE. You can use whatever you like, the lemon sugar, or maybe your own. Sometimes when I'm "on the go" and I dunno where to find lemon and sugar, I scrub my skin with Noxzema Original Deep Cleansing Cream. And since, I only use it on rare occasions (when I'm on the go) I have a travel size one that I got at MEIJERS for about $2.

And as always, after exfoliating, moisturize.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLEANSIN' AND EXFOLIAITIN' ? :O

Cleansing is suppose to be much gentler. All it does is just clean all that dirt that has been sitting on your beautiful face. And exfoliating is suppose to go in much more deep, into your pores and deep cleansing them, and removing dead skin cells; revealing much more radiant and glowing skin.

^^ My ALTERNATIVE (emergency) scrub

^^^ my sunscreen (it's in travel size so it fits in my purse/backpack easily)

^^^ My moisturizer

^^ random talcum powder OR you can use baby powder : ------------------------->

Well, yeah. Every person's skin is different, so no one's skin care routine will be exactly the same. I also LOVE to experiment with different products (even though it makes me breakout ha ha ha) but occasionally, when I do, I'll write a review or something.

Bye!

Cheerio! (As the say in London)

baby powder and flour love :-)
