Freeman's Dead Sea Mineral Face Mask

Tonight I used the Dead Sea face mask and it felt great! I use this clay mask once a week and I noticed a change in my face and neck. I can really feel it deep down in my pores. I prefer to use it when I take a bath instead of the days when I take a shower just to give it a little more time to work. I would recommend this mask if you feel you need to lift impurities off your face. After I rinse it off I don't apply my face cream/moisturizer I just wait until the morning.

The Importance of Keeping A Daily Pampering Routine

One of the things that I'm most proud of is my pampering routine that I do each day. I got the idea last year from reading Mama Gena's School of the Womanly Arts book. She also has videos on her YouTube Channel. One principle she taught was having a daily pampering routine. That fascinated me so I begin to incorporate some of her tips and it transformed my life. I notice I feel better when I take time to pamper myself. Here is what I typically do each day to make myself feel special and look beautiful. I start the day by drinking my favorite coffee, a manicure and pedicure on an as needed basis, use my favorite moisturizing body wash, style my hair, and do a daily devotion. I also have a picture of the book shown. I do a lot more but these are my top favorites that I'll describe more in detail on a future post.

My January Favorites

This month has been so exciting because I've been able to use my natural beauty products as well as new beauty purchases I've made giving me the ultimate self care experience. Taking care of my body, skin and hair helps me stay young. Also, what I eat is important which will be another blog topic. So here are my January favorites below:


Using extra virgin coconut oil has worked wonders on my face, hair and body. It penetrates the skin and the hair so well. I use the extra virgin coconut oil on my face at night and on my stomach and legs. If you would like to find out more about the benefits of using extra virgin coconut oil, watch this video:

I have also been using Jamaican black castor oil on my scalp and hair this month. The oil has helped my hair as I go through postpartum hair shedding, it has moisturized my hair so much. It is one of my staple beauty products.

If you are interested in doing my first beauty challenge with the extra virgin coconut oil and jamaican black castor/regular castor oil watch this video:

My next favorite thick day cream moisturizer is the St. Ives Collagen Elastin Moisturizer. It makes my face really smooth, and smells clean and fresh.

This is another one of my favorite which was featured in my Morning Skin Care Products 2012. If you would like to find out about my other morning beauty products last year. Watch the video above

So these are my top favorites:-) What were your top favorite beauty products this month?

Today Lip Care Spotlight

I really, truly enjoy using CO Bigelow lip products, this lip gloss I'm wearing today. It's great and it smells so delicious. It glides on easily and gives a light shine.

I love cocoa butter!

Today I decided to use this combo on my face. I like to keep it simple. Mostly anything with cocoa butter my skin likes. The facial lotion I bought at Walmart for 5 dollars or less, and the lip butter I couldn't find at Walmart so I ordered it on amazon.com. The lotion is light has a soft scent with added milk proteins, and the lip butter has dark chocolate, vitamin E and peppermint oil in it, it glides on and keeps my lips moisturized until I eat or drink something then I reapply. The lip butter was 4 dollars. Great for starting the day with facial pampering.

Beauty From Head to Toe (Overview)

I'm really excited about this blog, for many years I've practiced natural beauty routines. I would write my beauty schedule on calenders, but now I feel it is time to write it in a blog format. I also would search online for a beauty regimen or plan, but only find general tips. Although, they were helpful I needed something for specific, more visual. Eventually, I realized the answer was inside of me all along. This blog is for you and me just a reminder to stay beautiful all year long. You don't need a lot of money, or you can spend a lot of money. I tend to do both. I have cheap and expensive beauty products. During the course of this year, I will share tips about beauty products, beauty bargain finds, luxurious expensive products, monthly beauty challenges and plan. I'll start from the top and work my way down, but sometimes I may choose a beauty product not in that specific order. The purpose of this blog is to have fun.
