Do you know what's fun? Being beautiful is fun!


Yes. It is. I love being beautiful. It takes work, effort. Of course. You don't just wake up in the morning gorgeous, you have to work at it. If I chose not to put the effort in, trust me when I say that I could easily be hideous! I mean, for a woman, there is much to do. We have to exercise, shave our entire body, do our hair, our nails, our toes (and I do all this myself, nail salons give me migraine headaches. It's either the fumes or the little Asian girls chattering incessantly in another language as though I'm not there... or both), makeup. On top of all that we (most of us) have to deal with the whole period thing once a month. How much more work is it to try to be beautiful during THAT ridiculousness? Sometimes it just isn't even possible.
So yes. It is a lot of work being beautiful, but the payoff is well worth it. You feel better. Empowered. In control. When you feel beautiful, you truly feel like you can accomplish anything. Well, anything in whatever time you have left over after getting yourself beautiful. If we were instantly beautiful, just woke up that way, and didn't have to put all that time and work into it... women would have long since taken over the world by now. We are on our way there, we just haven't quite had enough time due to the amount we spend getting and staying beautiful.
It's always nice to find short cuts and little tips along the way. There are a few little beauty secret short cuts that literally save my BUTT sometimes. Like using eye shadow to touch up roots when you haven't had time to color and something important springs up. That is one of my favorites. I saw somewhere online where some lady had marketed a powder to touch up your roots in a pinch. She was asking a pretty penny for it, too. Always the one to scrutinize before spending a dime, I did just that. Upon further inspection (and following up by testing my theory) this lady was basically selling EYE SHADOW for what must have been making her a fortune. It probably still is. Seriously, I need to come up with something like that!
The good thing was, I didn't pay a dime and I was able to glean an extremely useful beauty tip from my investigating and my theory. I may never have thought of that.
THAT is what's key. The realization that not everything has to cost a lot of money when it comes to beauty and beauty products. We probably have better ingredients in our cupboards at home that the most expensive products, for many things anyways. Fruits and dairy, weird medicines, like Prep H, Milk of Magnesia (Mylanta), and aspirin. Olive oil. Honey. The list goes on. 
So, yes, it's always wonderful when you learn how to save a bit of time and keep your money in your bank while still staying beautiful! It comes from within. I always say that beauty is NOT in the eye of the beholder. It's in the heart of the beautiful. Any beautiful woman could just as easily be ugly (way more easily, actually), just as any ugly woman could (well, not easily, like I said, it's hard work) be beautiful if she put forth the effort. 
Bitches! Don't hate us because we are beautiful! We have a planet to take over! Before these brutish men destroy it completely.

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.

For a complete A to Z of beauty and anti-aging treatments and recipes, ingredients, tips, and tricks, try my new book:

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.
