Homemade Beauty... Natural Toners

Sliced strawberries, grapes, cucumbers, lemons, and tomatoes work wonderfully as natural toners to tighten skin and shrink pores. 

  •  Strawberries make an excellent cleanser, moisturizer, and skin-softener. They are rich in healthy-skin vitamins A & C and have a neutral PH so they are mild.
  • Grapes can reduce wrinkles, even skin tone, moisturize, and reduce the appearance of scars.
  • The high water content in cucumbers hydrates and cools your skin, and the natural oils in help soften your skin.
  • Lemon juice and water can be used to lighten dark spots on your skin, and reduce shine caused by oil on your face.
  • Tomatoes contain gentle acids which will help to cleanse your skin while removing dead skin cells and clearing black heads.
Pick the one you think wold work best for you, slice, and apply directly to your face.

January Nibblr Subscription Box

So after searching around on  My Subscription Addiction  for a subscription box to try out for free or on the cheap to see if I liked it, I found this Nibblr box from the Pillsbury company! Upon opening my box, I found a tray of four, healthy, portion controlled snacks. Each month they send you four snacks at random, until you begin to personalize your account.  You can personalize your account by selecting "Love it, Like it, Interested, or No Thanks".  All snacks begin marked "Interested", and after trying them you may mark them otherwise.  They will then try to send snacks marked "Love it" and "Like it" more often, and avoid sending the ones marked "No Thanks".
