Hi everyone,
There is a makeup look that will never go out of fashion, that look would be the nude/neutral eye. I haven't done a huge tutorial in a long while, so I wanted to start again with this makeup look for you all. Click the image of the product to go to the producer's website (if it's still sold).

1. Detox to dump cellulite – Regardless of age, weight, or body type all women can suffer from cellulite. Getting rid of unwanted toxins and waste will allow your liver to metabolize fats more efficiently and reduce cellulite.

Clean & Green
Here's a collection of my favorite natural cleaning formulas, concoctions
and witches brews. MOST are safe and nontoxic, with a few exceptions which are clearly noted.
Use the ingredients listed below when making your own alternative cleaners, most are
inexpensive and you probably already have many of them in your kitchen cupboards.

Hi ladies,
About a month ago, I posted the first part of a product review for the John Masters Organics product line. I’ve been using my stash for about a month now, so I figured it was about time for a follow-up.
The original review is posted here: http://teamsugar.com/group/88093/blog/3142111
I’ve reviewed each product from my original order below and included how much of the product I actually used in the past month:
Lavender rosemary shampoo for normal hair
I was intimidated by the very poignant lavender smell at first because I tend to be quite sensitive to strong scents (Clinique Happy, anyone?), but I definitely do not feel like I’m walking around with lavender strapped to my head.

I'll admit it, I am addicted to beauty products. Especially lotions and scrubs - I will seriously do ANYTHING to keep my skin in tip top condition. I've discussed my whole body care regimin in a previous blog, but for those of you who haven't read it - I am very big on moisturizing and exfoliating.

I used to be a big fan of the Crabtree & Evelyn hand scrub, but came across something much cheaper and all natural. My hands are usually a mess in the winter, with the heater running and washing my hands constantly. Instead of purchasing an expensive scrub, just try this:
Pour some olive oil in the palm of your hand.

I recently posted the "the Green Clean" which had a few recipes and such for cleaning your home without using a lot of harsh chemicals. Here are a few more recipes and a list of some of my favorite store-bought cleaning supplies for things I cannot easily make:
These are some samples of recipes from Make your own Cosmetics
1) Don't Hate Me Travel Spritz
This easy to make formula smells great and will uplift and soften the mood of even the most irritable travel companion. This product is not to be used on the skin as a toner or face or body spritzer.

I have never really had a spa experience. I've thought of going, but the very idea of somebody scrubbing me down and wrapping me up in stuff doesn't really appeal to me. Even facials make me feel a bit queasy.

The kiddos loooove chicken nuggets, and while I'll give them the Morningstar fake veggie nuggets, I'm not a fan of mechanically separated frozen sawdust. . .
