Homemade Beauty: Pumpkin Spice Face Mask

It is that time of year again where the basic white girls are going crazy over Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte...

I'm not a coffee person.

Or an overpriced Starbucks person.

Or usually a pumpkin person!

So why did I feel the need to post this?
Because I have finally gotten into the fall mood, and I am going to be having one of these professionally done at a Spa this Friday!
Plus, why not??

So let's start by prepping your face for the facial by using a super simple...

Brown Sugar Face Scrub
Ingredients
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
Mix together and apply to the face rubbing in circular motions.  The brown sugar will act as an exfoliant, clearing and opening your pores, while the olive oil works as a natural moisturizer.

Pumpkin Spice Face Mask
Ingredients
  • 1 Teaspoon pure Pumpkin puree (with no added ingredients)
  • 1 Teaspoon of Honey
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
Apply to face and relax for 5 to 15 minutes.  Pumpkin contains vitamins A, C, and E which will help to gently relieve your skin of dead skin cells.  The honey seals in moisture while also fighting off acne with it's antibacterial properties, while the cinnamon clarifies the pores.  Other optional ingredients include: A splash of Apple Cider Vinegar which will work as an astringent for oily skin, or Greek Yogurt for the hydrating properties of the lactic acid.

Popsugar: February

The February box is my last one from the three month subscription I received for Christmas, and though that is very sad, we went out with a bang!  I loved every single item in this box, which is an amazing feeling, and I have been so excited about using them all! First of all, can we notice how much cuter than normal this is?  Look at all of the crinkly stuff! This candy bar from Chuao Chocolatier is literally heaven in your mouth... It says it is a Cinnamon Cereal Smooch Chocolate Bar, so, Cinnamon Toast Crunch?  My favorite cereal??  I approve.  The retail on this says $6, but I saw this brand at Biltmore going for around $8, which seems a bit steep for chocolate to me... But I guess we are talking about fancy chocolate here! This is the Tribe Alive Foldover Clutch in the pattern Atitlán Brocade.  It is reversible, so if you fold it the opposite direction you basically have a brand new clutch, and it is gorgeous either way.  It is hand...

DIY Beach Spray

 I always wanted the Beach Spray for your hair that gives you the just came off of the beach wavy look, but there so dang expensive! So this is a recipe you can use to make your own!  Things You'll Need Plastic spray bottle 1 tsp. sea salt 8 oz. water 1/2 - 1 tsp. coconut oil, olive oil or light conditioner Lemon Juice 3 drops essential oil (optional) Instructions Pour water into the plastic spray bottle. Add sea salt, NOT table salt. The more salt you add, the more "crunchy," textured and beach like your hair will feel. Add moisturizer to combat the drying factor of the salt. Use coconut oil, olive oil or light conditioner. Avoid adding more than a teaspoon because it can weigh down your hair. Add a few drops of lemon juice to your mixture if you plan on being out in the sun at all. Cute hair and highlights, Score! :) Add essential oil for fragrance and additional benefits.

Nadine West: Third Shipment

Another Nadine West bag!  This is such a fun little bag, and I have really looked forward to every one thus far! These are the Simple Sparkles "diamond" stud earrings.  Though these are very cute and I actually kinda wanted to keep them, I have too many pair that are too similar.  These did retail for $6.49 though, which is suuuuper reasonable. This is the Make a Wish necklace.  I wanted to like this based off of the name, but it just really isn't my style!  I don't feel like I can pull off a crown necklace/princess persona...  But anyway, this retails for $17.99, which I feel is a bit much for cheap jewelry. This is the Constance top.  It is like a baby pink chevron cami, and I wasn't into this really.  I have enough camis, and am not really into printed ones, so this just wasn't my style.  This retailed for $9.49, which isn't too bad Fianlly, we have the Zipped floral romper, and as you might have guessed it has a zipp...
