On this beautiful and blessed Thanksgiving day most of us will be enjoying some yummy pumpkin pie, or in my family's case sweet potato pie. These two treats are a staple for the holidays and unfortunately outside of the holidays they aren't thought about very much. I'd like to share with you some yummy recipes for your skin that you won't need to worry about calories or wondering who will eat the leftovers because you've had more than your fill. Along with the recipes I'd like to share a few fun facts about these two fabulous foods. I hope you enjoy them. Let your skin eat up! Pumpkin
Pumpkin Scrub 1/4 cup pumpkin puree 1/4 cup Brown Sugar 2 T extra virgin coconut oil Mix all ingredients. Take a shower or LONG relaxing soak. Apply the scrub in circular motion. Rinse. Apply your fave body lotion or oil. Sweet Potato
Soothing Sweet Potato Mask 1 small sweet potato 1 T brewed hops tea (brought to room temp) Peel and cube the sweet potato and boil it for 10 minutes, drain, then smash it with a fork. In a bowl, combine the potato and the tea. Mix well.Apply a thick layer of this to your face and neck and relax for 20 minutes. If you’d like, drink the rest of the tea to receive the full effect of the hops. Rinse off with warm water, then apply your favorite toner and moisturizer. ☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻ Keep in mind, the less time you cook your veggies the more enzymes and nutrients the retain. This has an outstanding affect on your body inside and out. If you have any other pumpkin or sweet potato skin care recipes be sure to post a comment below. I'd love to hear from you.

This is the perfect time of year to try out new color palettes for you makeup and change your hair color to complement Fall's fashion trends. An easy way to take your summer makeup into a fall look, but still keeping your look fresh, is by adding deeper hued eyeliners and lip colors. I always keep a beautiful jeweled-tone plum or bronze nearby for the eyes because they add drama without being overpowering. I also love a deep emerald green when I'm feeling jazzy. For fall lips I make sure I protect my delicate "muscles" by applying a conditioning lip balm daily. Drinking plenty of water helps to prevent dry, cracked lips and keeps them plump. I like to add more color to the lips with a few swipes of a deeper plum, nude, sienna, or red tone gloss. I like gloss because the shine and I can wear it sheer or full-bodied. For a little more color and dimension I'll add a lip liner to enhance the shade. To complete my look I will add a blush with a little more color than my summer look, but keeping in mind that I only want to add a pop of color I just apply a tiny bit to the apples. Hair color is an important factor too. The summer sun tends to lighten our tresses, but by adding a rinse, cellophane or color-enhancing shampoos and conditoners we can add depth without the added stress to our mane. If your were bleach blonde in the summer go for a caramel blonde for fall, or if you were light auburn go for a cognac, or if you were medium brown, go for a beautiful chocolate brown. Remember, if you are a little color shy, take your time with transitioning into a new color and start with semi-permanent first to get used to your new color. Happy fall to you! |
