My Top Favorite Home Made Beauty Treatments

Hello Ladies!
I am in the mood to share some of my favorite, very inexpensive, very effective, beauty treatments I've done right at home using stuff from my kitchen.

I just used this one yesterday:
1 egg
1 tablespoon half and half (you can use cream, milk, half and half, etc)
Separate the white from the yolk of the egg in a small bowl. Wisp the egg white with the cream together in a small bowl until it's frothy:

Slather the mixture all over your face and neck. It will be drippy, but you can allow it to semi-dry and then add more layers. Try to get it as thick as possible. 

At this point you can go ahead and jump in the shower, or just relax, but it takes about 10 to 15 minutes for it to completely dry. You will feel it tightening your skin. Rinse off and voila! Instant face lift of the like you will pay arms and legs for at a makeup counter. It works! The cream adds a bit of moisturization, but can be left out if you prefer.

Another very quick treatment I love to do is using just plain honey, right from the jar:

Just slather the sticky honey over your face and neck before you jump in the shower. Allow it to dry, approximately 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse in cool water. This treatment helps to exfoliate and moisturize your skin. Try mixing it with a tablespoon of milk or cream for extra moisture.

My son loves mangoes. So I buy them often:

Whenever I peel and cut him up a mango, I rub the insides of the skin all over my face and neck for a refreshing, cool astringent-like treatment that softens my skin and makes it glow.

Finally it's Almost Fall, My Favorite Fashion Season!

Everyone who knows me, knows I get grumpy and miserable during the hotter months of the year. I seem to be 10 degrees hotter than everyone around me. The heat makes me sick and steals the life and energy from me. I'd be well adjusted living at the North Pole, I'm afraid.

I literally heat up entire rooms, sometimes.

So! Of course my favorite time of year is Autumn. It starts cooling down. My energy returns. And I finally get to break out my favorite clothing items, like my calf-high boots, my black tights, my fishnet thigh-highs, my long-sleeved, form-fitting thermal tops, and my hot jeans with fading, holes, and rips in all the right places!

It's definitely my season to shine in the Fall. Leaves start turning beautiful colors. The air kisses my face and feels refreshing, instead of smothering. It makes me happy and optimistic. Looking forward to the Holidays and nights by the fire. Bundling up to go shopping and taking pictures of the trees.

The cooling of the weather seems to put me in a sexy mood. My step feels lighter and my heart swells up with joy at nothing in particular. I start smiling when there's nothing to smile about and find I sing a lot.

It's strange, there are people who are the opposite, I guess. People who feel more and more depressed as colder weather approaches, and they feel happy when it starts to warm up.

Not me, I'm plenty hot, I don't need to be warmer. I want the air to cool me and make me feel refreshed and renewed. I like the bite of crisp cold air when I breathe it into my lungs, not the heavy, aching feeling of breathing in the heat of the summer.

I also get to wear my little wigs, it's way too hot to put them on in the Summer. I pour sweat just looking at them when it's hot. So much fun to glam it up and wear your clothes for how they look, as opposed to just finding the coolest clothing you own with the least amount of material while still appearing decently dressed in public. I love the Fall! Bring the cold, crisp days of November, December, and slow down. I don't want to see July again for at least another year!

Turning 40, Aging or Refusal to Do So, and What Life Looks Like Now

I always turn 29 on my birthday, which was on Sept. 5. I've turned 29 eleven times now, which makes my existence on Earth total 40 years. I refuse to LOOK 40, or even associate myself with the "age" of 40. It's completely ridiculous, the whole "aging" idea. I don't believe in it. I exercise regularly. I probably don't get enough sleep, or drink enough water, but I stay out of the sun and moisturize. It really isn't a matter of what I do, rather, what I refuse to do, and that is to get old and wrinkly. Why should I? Why on Earth would I want to do such a thing?

I wonder if it's a matter of just giving up. If people think, "well, I'm in my 40s now, I guess I'm old and going to be unattractive anyways, so I'll just quit trying". I will never stop putting effort into my looks and into keeping my body nice and fit. It's always been something I cherish and enjoy, being pretty. Not just on the outside, but in my heart, too. I am a good person inside and I'm intelligent. I understand that it doesn't matter to some people. I understand THAT it doesn't, but not WHY.

So, uneventful as it was, the day came and went. I didn't suddenly look haggard and tired. I showered and put makeup on today as I usually do, looking in the mirror for any changes or signs. Everything was normal. The same as it was eleven years ago. Maybe I'm lucky, or maybe I just refuse to allow it, who knows?

I do know that 29 is a wonderful age to be stuck at, though.

The Beauty and Anti-Aging Encyclopedia...

Well, girls (and guys), I have finally finished editing and re-editing and re-editing again til my eyes almost fell out of my head, and my masterpiece is now published. A project quite a long time in the making, like my whole life, actually.
It is called The Beauty and Anti-Aging Encyclopedia. It is an A to Z list of beauty ingredients, beauty tips, anti-aging secrets, and recipes for beauty treatments at home from Almond Oil to Zinc. It's always going to be a growing and changing list, of course, as new studies find different things, but as of right now, it's current.
I'm hoping to coax you all to grab a copy and let me know what you think. I'd like to add more to it, if I missed anything, so if anyone reads it and has something to add, please let me know, and I'll test your idea and add it to the book, if it works.
You can check it out at the link below, there should be a sample you can see for free, but otherwise the book is 7.99 US for now.

If you get it and you'd like to comment on it here, that would be wonderful. If you leave me a review on Amazon, that would be awesome, too! Very open to suggestions and critique, too. The Playmate Gate California Cosmo
