Green Beauty Smoothie: Detox & Cleanse

Green smoothies are a refreshing and delicious way to detoxify the liver and cleanse the body while still enjoying a delicious treat. A cleaned-up liver can process nasty toxins more efficiently which leads to clear, radiant and younger-looking skin. Blending fruits and vegetables in a smoothie versus juicing, boosts the absorption of all the beneficial vitamins and nutrients by keeping the fiber in the mix. This aids in cleansing and gets the body back into balance resulting in more energy and a natural glow.

Remember to choose organic when possible to avoid heavily pesticide-sprayed produce. Pesticides are toxic to the body, far from beautiful and defeat the purpose of detoxification.

Filled to the brim with purifying ingredients, this revitalizing smoothie is best enjoyed soaking up the spring sunshine!

Green Beauty Smoothie Ingredients:

8 oz coconut water – Contains enzymes that help to detoxify and repair the body
½ lemon peeled – Detoxifies the liver and helps convert toxins into water-soluble form that can be easily eliminated from the body
Small handful of parsley leaves – Loaded with vitamins A, C, K along with folate and iron which all benefit healthy skin
½ granny smith apple – Quercetin found in the apple skin tackles free radicals that cause damage and wrinkles

Smoothie Recipe Key Beauty Ingredient: Raw beets

Benefits of Beets:  OMG, make this smoothie ASAP! Not only do beets taste delicious, but the beautiful ruby red color it creates is from the anthocyanins in this sweet and earthy veggie which is a major inflammation fighter. Dealing with a red and puffy complexion? That’s inflammation possibly triggered by free-radical damage. Antioxidants fight this damage, and beets are bursting with them. They are also high in fiber, folate and vitamin C and act as a purifier for the blood and liver, which will keep skin clear and glowing. I’ve avoided beets in my smoothies as the stained counters and hands are not so pretty but when I found them pre-sliced, frozen and ready to go, I couldn’t resist.

DIY Anti-Aging Vitamin C Toner

You have probably seen many commercials advertising toners, creams, serums made with vitamin C, claiming to take off years off your face. And you also dream to look younger and erase years from your face.

Homemde Anti-aging Facial And Skin Toner
Today we share with our readers a very simple and easiest Do-It-Yourself (DIY) beauty recipe for a vitamin C toner that really works and can save you lots of money! Yay for saving money!

In fact, after its use you’ll notice a difference in your skin right away. It’ll be suppler, your complexion will get smoother, acne scars will gradually fade out, and your skin will have more glow to it overall. The bonus point is that vitamin C is one of the most powerful ingredients to fight and prevent signs of aging, thanks to its ability to stimulate collagen production in an effective way.

But, the problem with vitamin C is that it’s somewhat wayward and does not last long once assimilated into a beauty products. It oxidizes quickly, especially when exposed to light or air – and thus turns ineffective. On the other hand the homemade vitamin C toner is more effective than most of the store-bought vitamin C skincare products.

Due to vitamin C’s unstable characteristic, cosmetic companies simply circumvent using it and in its place opt for vitamin E, vitamin A (retinoid) or other manufactured anti-aging ingredients, which are pricy and basically not as effective. There are some companies that have developed techniques, which can maintain vitamin C stability, but then buying these products costs more than making them yourself at home. Not only that, you can also manage more control over the vitamin C strength when you make it yourself.

Nailcare Routine and Tips

10:10 Unknown 0 Comments

Hey Gorgeous People - I think that's better than Dear Reader, right?

 I am going to go through my nail care routine because I like to keep my nails healthy.
Firstly, I am going to be giving you some tips that you can follow to make sure your nails are healthy!
 Stop biting your nails! - I know this is hard as I have had to conquer my habit of this, but it really does help! It keeps your nails long and the fibre strong. [Holy poo that rhymed and I didn't even mean it but I'm keeping it in there anyways ;)]
 Don't get acrylic nails - Again, I know they make your nails look gorgeous but they file down your nails (as in the actual surface of your nail) in order for the your nail for the acrylic to adhere (stick to a surface aka the nail)
 Broken Nails - when your nails break, cut and file them asap! The longer you leave them, the more they will break.
 Cut your nails regularly -  This is to make sure your nails don't break. Cut your nails every week or two.
 Don't constantly paint your nails - Every time you use nail polish remover, it strips away the natural oils of your nails which is needed to keep your nails strong.
       What you will need:
Cuticle remover
Nail Polish Remover
Cotton Buds (Q-tips)
Cotton Pads
Strengthening Nail Solution
Hand Cream
Nail File
Nail Clipper
Cuticle Stick

1. When treating my nails, I like to remove any nail polish I have with nail polish remover, cotton pads and cotton buds (Q-tips) so I have a clean base.
2. Next, I cut my nails and file them down, which usually gets rid of any split or broken parts of the nail.
