September Favourite... Face Mask For Ageing Skin !

Happy Tuesday !

As we get older , we need more reasons to look after our skin , since the world expects everyone to keep working well into our 60's ! Who would want to go in looking haggard , both in the face and the body which feels worn out and tired in your 50's . If the retirement age had to be put up it should have only hit the generation of the 90's , that was the turning point for alot of things . People thought about banning smoking inside . A healthy eating habit began to appear and people thought about exercise and fitness. Before all that, people born earlier have had a bad start and will age and feel effects of old age far earlier . I remember the first time I flew in an aeroplane in the 90's even though I didn't smoke , the person I was flying with smoked and we sat in the smoking area which was suffocating and horrible for me, all of those 10 hours . People also drank more and lived a fast life before the 90's . There were into having alot more sexual partners and relationships . After the 90ś people thought about reaming a virgin and saving themselves for marriage . Alot of things around us changed so late retirement should affect the generation that will probably benefit most from the good changes . The rest of us will die while not being able to live longer than the average life span of 76- 82. Tragic !
Okay so while we can't change alot of things in the world we can try to look after our skin , here is a
Papaya, honey, and lemon juice face mask which is an anti-oxidant face mask to help with ageing skin.
Remember to do a patch test before applying a mask to your face.

Ingredients:
1. 1/4 ripe papaya
2. 1 tablespoon honey
3. 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Blend or mash up the soft ripe papaya into a lump-free puree.
2. Add the honey and lemon juice and mix well.
3. Apply the face mask onto your clean face and let it dry for 15 minutes.
4. When the time is up, gently use warm water to loosen the face mask.
5. A final rinse off with cold water. Pat your face dry with a clean towel.

Have an awesome day and keep smiling!

Love & Peace 

September Advice & Drinks For A Flat Tummy !

Happy Tuesday !

It has been an amazing day and I am feeling happy. A lot of people find different reasons to smile and be happy. Many people find it within themselves when they accomplish goals set on a list. Many times it's their children who make people smile and be happy. I am feeling happy because I'm feeling blessed , No not because I have two lovers  j/k or that one caught me with the other and still decided he loved me .. No not that but because today is #NationalSucidePreventionDay and even though life can be tough and rough today I woke up feeling like things will be okay and if we give out positive vibes and be a good listening ear we can help anyone feeling depressed and anxious . Did you do a good kind deed to help someone feel good ? Try it, doesn't cost much but gives the giver and the receiver a great feeling . Compliments are an awesome way to start , try saying how much you like somebody's outfit or that their sneakers are cool or even how you think someone is so good looking ! Depression is real and being kind can really turn a person's day around .

Feeling good about yourself can help fight negative feelings and depression  what better way than trying to get fit and getting a great tummy . I just yesterday saw a you tube video about a girl with tattoo regret . She always felt she had a horrible fat flabby tummy so at just 21 she got a whole tummy tattoo which would disguise the area and help her feel better .. it worked but now at 27 she has turned her life around got fit and worked hard on her tum and has built up abs but sadly it can't be seen and appreciated because of this huge piece covering up the area . A real bit of advice never rush into anything think it through and then some bit before you rush into anything .
Here I have a great way to work on that belly by just drinking something ... Give it a go !
So today's blog is about 4 drinks which can help to flatten your belly. I know I'm slim and fit but once you give birth you are always on a mission to make sure you have a flatter, more toned tummy. Here are four drinks you could have which would help you achieve your goal.

1. Green Tea
It's loaded with antioxidants and nutrients that have powerful effects on the body. It includes fat loss and it even improves brain function. It can even lower risks of cancers. Kendall Jenner loves her green tea which also curbs her appetite being a model.

2. Watermelon Smoothie
As well as helping with weight loss and flattening your tummy, the citrulline in the fruit helps with better blood flow. It gives you plenty of vitamins and minerals and acts as an anti-inflammatory. It works miracles for better kidney health.

3. Flavored Water
As well as getting your needed daily allowance of fruit, it helps in weight loss. It curbs your appetite and is delicious to drinks. It has no added sugar and will boost your immune system.

4. Pineapple Smoothie
Pineapple is an excellent source of vitamin C and manganese. It's also a very good source of copper and vitamin B1 & B6. Pineapple helps with digestion and helps with strengthening your core and making your belly flatter.

Enjoy having these drinks during the week. Cut out all fizzy drinks and you will definitely see an improvement in your health and you will soon be on the road to a flatter belly!

Have an awesome day and never stop smiling :)

Love & Peace

Happy September .. Thoughts & Importance Of Oil !

Happy Tuesday & Happy September !

The summer feels like it's over and the days are definitely cooler ,the temperature has dropped but autumnal weather is still better than winter . Prince Harry today in Amsterdam was making a real fool of himself giving a speech about doing more for climate change while he boldly takes private jets with his wife and son creating more carbon footprints . Meanwhile Meghan is busy hiring a celebrity PR firm to boost her dwindling fame .. such a kick in the teeth to the Royal family's own PR . Does Meghan want to be a celebrity or a Royal ? What is actually happening to the Royal Family , they seem to be losing the plot completely . Prince Andrew and his scandal , Prince Harry and Meghan being very shady hiding the baby being two-faced  wanting privacy but posting on social media . The Queen giving permission for Boris Johnson to suspend Parliament !!! I don't think at 90 + she should be making any such decision . I have seriously gone off the Royals . Thank God for William & Kate !! But in this day and age do we really need people with so much privilege when there are people who are living far below the poverty line and in desperate need .But on to other things , like how you should be taking care of yourself and why OIL is perfect for you .
Oil is perfect for your hair, skin and nails. Here's why it's so perfect for you.

Skin: We have always been told to keep oil away from oily skin and breakouts. Skin's natural oil is sticky and attracts dirt. Cleansing oils, ironically loosens the stickiness, so make up and debris slide off more thoroughly. The result ? A cleaner skin surface. For dry skin: it doubles as a moisturizer, leaving skin super plumped and radiant.

Hair: Oil is proven to protect hair, but it can also leave it limp and greasy. Lightweight hair oils hydrate fine hair without weighing it down. "Moroccan Oil" is a super example, leaving your hair super shiny and hydrated .

Nails: Cuticles can feel dry and hard. The best remedy.. you guessed it-- oil! Hand creams hydrate the surface, but oil penetrates deeper and helps to soften and moisturize the whole area around the nail.

Body: Body oils are the perfect cure for dry, dull skin. Use oil to lock in moisture and illuminate skin. Use Garnier's Ultimate Beauty Oil. It's the perfect thing to soften your skin. The blend of argan, macadamia, almond, and rose oil leaves your body satiny soft.

Hope you enjoyed reading these simple tips to keep your skin looking good. A simple Baby oil used everyday also does wonders for the skin, in case you want to keep on a budget!

Here's a beautiful quote by Nelson Mandela that Harry & Meghan posted on Instagram on Monday evening "It is so easy to break down and destroy. The heroes are those who make peace and build "  I love that quote but it was really ironic for them to post it seeing as Meghan 's father is begging to meet Harry and his grandson but they are ignoring him and pretending he doesn't exist . Family is always an important part of one's heritage and cutting out the source of your very existence is cold and mean blooded . She would not be here if not for having a Father a DAD !
Please in your everyday be a better person , love and cherish your close family . Be kind your Mother and Father will always love you more than any other person on earth .


Have a great day and keep smiling  :)

Love & Peace
