GO ORANGE!

Hi guys! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything lately but I've been so busy with school and finals! Yes, it's that sad time of the school year. But I made time today to post about something that I've been loving lately!

I think spring is the most lovely time of the year because it's not too hot nor too cold, it's just the perfect weather. When I think of spring I think about bright colors because flowers start to bloom and everything seems more alive and beautiful. So because it's spring I've been wearing a lot of color in my outfits, especially oranges and corals! I'm so crazy for this color because it makes every outfit more fun. I think I've gone mad because I have a lot of orange things like shoes, purses, clothes, and even lipsticks. A lot of fashionistas have said that orange is this season's color and I completely agree! How will you incorporate orange into your outfits this season?

BROWN SUGAR & OLIVE OIL BODY SCRUB

I've already given you a great mask for your face, but now it is time to take care of your body, too. We all have to maintain our skin soft and radiant for those strapless cocktail dresses, that we are planning on wearing these upcoming holidays. We have to be very careful and exfoliate our bodies and keep them well hydrated so we can look our best. I am going to give you a great recipe for a scrub that is great and inexpensive at the same time because you will be using things that you already have in you kitchens.


INGREDIENTS:

1 cup BROWN SUGAR
1/2 cup OLIVE OIL
2 T HONEY
1 T LEMON JUICE (optional)


DIRECTIONS:

Measure  the ingredients and put them in a medium bowl, mix them well. If your scrub is a little dry or too clumpy put a little more olive oil but not a lot that it makes the scrub watery. You can add the lemon juice if you want, I like using it in mine. I like the lemon because of its aroma and because it makes the skin brighter and it gives you a glow. Put it in a small container or a little glass jar so you can keep it in your bathroom and use it every time. It also makes a great gift, just put a little bow around the jar for a special touch and your special person will enjoy it.

STRAWBERRY AND MILK FACE MASK

If you are like me, you have been probably suffering from dry skin because of the cold weather. The skin is always affected  by the change of temperature and  it can become real sensitive. Since a week ago I have been feeling my skin extra dry and even with flaky little spots and I hated it. I was looking for a real good face mask but I did not have the ingredients at the time. So I went to the fridge and saw that I had ripe strawberries and did not know what to do with them. Then, I thought to do a strawberry and milk face mask to see if it would help, and it did. My face feels more hydrated and soft. I hope you will try it at home and enjoy it.




INGREDIENTS:

2 STRAWBERRIES
100grams MILK


DIRECTIONS:

First, wash your strawberries and mince them and squeeze them with a fork to get a paste but be careful not to get it  too liquid. Then, add the milk and mix it all together. After that, put a head band or secure your hair in a bun away from your face and lie down on your back. Start putting the mask in a thin layer and wait for about 20 minutes and after that remove the strawberry pieces and wash your face with warm water and put your regular moisturizer. I recommend doing this twice a week for the cold and dry months.
