First of all, yeah I almost fell out of the blog thing again because of Xmas break and all that. But I'm back!
-Thing #1: I made my own facial toner. Ever since I was 14 I've been using the BeautiControl skincare system. Don't get me wrong, I love BeautiControl! I really do! I will probably always be addicted to their oil-free facial moisturizer. But pay $20 per bottle for every product is well... kinda high now that I'm paying for it myself. (cleanser, scrub, toner, moisturizer)
SO. I googled it, (I feel awful now for not knowing what blog I took this from) and made my own toner!
It has green tea, lemon, honey, and tea tree oil. I think it is seriously magical! This is gonna rock.
My skin, no edit:
- Thing #2: Oil pulling. It sounds really gross. But every morning I swish coconut oil in my mouth for like 15 minutes. It's supposed to have great short term and long term effects on your body. Killing bacteria in your mouth, freshening breath, body detox, etc. So far so good. I'm gonna stick with it. I don't want any more cavities. Hopefully this will help :)
- Thing #3: Coconut oil treatments on my scalp. I have a SUPER messed up scalp. Like, scratch till it bleeds, dandruff to the extreme, it's snowing crystals off my head, I can't enjoy my day because my head is so itchy and burning. So I've started rubbing a mixture of coconut oil and tea tree oil on my scalp at night, letting it set, and then washing it out. I have to say I think it's helping. Not perfect yet, but definitely helping.
- Thing #4: Lemon water in the morning! There were a few reasons I wanted to start this. Cleanses your aura, helps aid in weight loss, digestion, vitamin C, hydration, etc. I'm loving that. I just squeeze half a lemon into my water, and suck it through a straw.
When I look at this list I seem like a total hippie. But I feel really accomplished!
