I LOVE being a women:  cosmetics, french bottom skirts, hair salon visits and bracelets, etc. however, being feminine has its cost. Everyday we are bombarded with what to put on our face, our hair and our body. From the chemical wash (cosmetics) that we use in the shower, the body lotion (cosmetics) that gives us our unique essence of individuality, then there is the makeup package (cosmetics) that sometimes seems so daunting in the morning but we do it anyway.  But all of these things can have a negative effect on our health. Can you think of just 1 cosmetic that you use that can be substituted for something more natural with less chemicals or nothing artificial at all?

 I always start my morning with natural cleansers from my kitchen. If I can eat it, there is no problem putting it on my face. When I miss a day I suffer. Everyday we have one chance to present our best to the world.

The Story of Cosmetics (2010)

Here are a few of my favorite natural products:

Avocados are a great preservative-free remedy for dry skin, split hair ends, and rough cuticals, 1/2 lemon and 1 Tbs of sugar makes a great face scrub removing dead skin also use the rind to sent  your bath water.

Oranges can be cut in half and added to your bath water along with olive oil and I can’t forget to mention Honey it is a great all-purpose skin toner, face mask and scrub, eye soother also it  works perfect if your little one suffers from eczema.
