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.

Fragrant Jewels: Shipment One

So I decided to try a new Subscription Box... Remember when that was all I did?? I'm sure most of you have heard of the company Fragrant Jewels. They create candles, bath bombs, and other fun products, all with rings hidden inside! The first box I received was a present for a friend, and I liked hers so much I decided to try it out as well! I really wanted a candle though, and sadly this box didn't contain one. But regardless, this is the Sweet Retreat collection. The scent is described as "Cool Marine Breeze, Fresh Lavender, and Soothing Chamomile." It is a bit to floral and fragrant to be especially soothing, but it is very nice and bright for spring. The first item in the box were mini bath bombs. I actually prefer this size of bath bombs to the big ones! I was, however, afraid that since they were mini that this product wouldn't come with a ring, which kind of defeats the purpose of Fragrant "Jewels" doesn't it? But no...

Christmas Decorations

I decorated my dorm prior to Thanksgiving so we would be able to have the decorations up for quite a while before going home. My classes ended the first week in December, so there wouldn't have been a point to decorating after! After coming home for Christmas break I simply decorated my room at home with the decorations I had at school, so I thought it would be fun to show you both! Dorm This is where all of the main decorations in the room were. We already had the lights up so we simply hung icicles and a bow from them. We placed clings on the window the said "Let it Snow." On the windowsill we sat my fiberoptic tree in the middle, and then added little knick knacks all around, which you can't see well because of the weird lighting... I swear I didn't take this in a dark room, but the combination of backlighting from outside, the string lights, and the tree, it all just messed with my camera. Here closer up picture of the tree and the things...

Christmas (and then Some...)

Sometimes posts like this can come off as bragging, but I would like to say up front that that isn't why I am doing this at all! I like seeing what others get for Christmas, so I thought it would be fun thing to put together! So here is what I got for Christmas, and my Birthday, and bought on Black Friday... and after Christmas. Yeah, it's a bit excessive, but I am happy! Also, I got a TON of clothes, but I don't have a good place to take pictures of clothing during the winter, so I'll just leave that out! Cosmetics Savannah Bee Gift Set - This set came with Royal Jelly Body Butter in Chamomile and Myrrh, Tupelo Honey chapstick, and Salted Caramel chapstick. This was a Christmas present from my best friend which she said she got at Target on Black Friday. The chapsticks honestly taste amazing... Tart Gift Set - This came with a Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush, a Pure Lippie Lingerie Matte Tint Crayon, and the Gifted Amazonian Clay Smart Mas...
