Makeup: Inspirational looks

I personally love make up.  I love everything about it!  I am constantly looking at magazines, people on the street, television, etc. to get inspiration for looks that I would like to recreate for myself and for clients.  Some of these looks are very exaggerated but they can be wearable if you soften them up.  Hope you like!!!

Health: Plus Size Supermodel Regiment

"I firmly believe that what makes you sexy and beautiful is not the size of your body or the color lipstick you have on.  What really makes you sexy is what you projects, your confidence, and your self awareness, having a great sense of humor and being really smart" Kate Dillon

I have to start by saying that I came across these pictures and I thought they were beautiful.  These women are classified as ‘Plus Size’…and they are gorgeous.  I would love to be ‘plus size’ like them, which leads me to my purpose for this post.

So…. I have been unhappy with my health for quite some time now as well as my appearance.  I would like to be able to run more and walk more…be a lot more toned!  I have always been overweight, but I am getting older and my health is getting worse.  I am not one to rely on pills or crash diets because I just don’t believe in them, so I have decided to get on a Plus Size Supermodel regiment!  Hopefully a life long regiment.

I am going to monitor my food intake and will be working out with a personal trainer from Raw Element.  He is customizing a program for me, which will consist of 4 days a week of working out for 90 minutes for the first 2 weeks, and increasing to 5 days a week on the 3^rd and 4^th week.  I am going to try it for about a month where I hope to see some significant changes.

I am a full time worker, a mom and a wife, and so I have to make sure that I don’t spread myself too thin or else I will crash. I will share tips on food and talk about my week in hopes to inspire anyone who has had to struggle with weight.

Good luck to me! :O)

Hair: Hot Honey and Oil Treatment

Source natural becomes her

I have seen this recipe a couple of times and decided to give it a try last night.  I did a treatment of hot honey and oil.  Surprisingly as a result, my hair was much softer and shinier. 

I use honey for facials and body scrubs because it acts as a moisturizer/humectant…the same thing goes for hair.  It hydrates and binds hair making it stronger and allowing less breakage.

This treatment is great as a deep conditioner or a pre-poo. 

Using the double broiler method, mix honey and oil (I used coconut oil) until the consistency is loose enough to run through your hair.  A Make sure your hair is wet before applying.  Once the mixture is warm apply to hair and cover your hair with leaving it in for about 25-35 minutes.  You can use any type of oil that you like.

You may think that it would be impossible to remove the mixture from your hair because honey can be really sticky, but it comes off rather quickly and nicely.  Give it a try and let me know what you think
