My best friend swears by this organic bath soap and her weight loss products – so we were out shopping the other day and thought i would also give it a try. This organic bath soap is aromatic and 100% all soy wax is used for ingredients and there are essential oils, herbs and it comes in a silk sachet. Alrready relaxing enough for anyone plus they have marigold flowers and chamomile leaves scented with orange flower water. Munio Candela organic soap is made from only 100% USDA certified organic oils and is colored with organic herbs and plant extracts. The organic soap is glycerin-based and never contains synthetic fragrances, colorants, preservatives, alcohol or parabens. It is safe for every member of the family and leaves the skin clean, calm and comfortable.
I had very bad pigmentation on one side of my face before coming to the West – i am wondering if it is the hot sun there that did that to my face – because after so many years here in the West with the different season – my pigmentation isn’t that bad anymore. But having said that – living in the east actually didn’t see a need for me to get the best fat burner while here in the West – I’ve put on so much weight – it’s not even funny.
But yes – my esthetician always frown before when she does my face every month. Anyhow – i did a little research on pigmentation and it seems like i am right – that if you are exposed to sunlight for a long period of time – your skin gets inflamed thus causes pigmentation. So to prevent pigmentation – i heard that a good sunscreen is definitely a plus. Therefore, my kid don’t go anywheres without her sunscreen.

So I saw this on the shoppers drug mart flyer this week and was darn happy about it – as happy as getting the right bathroom light fixtures – i must say. But alas, when we took a trip up to Shoppers late on Sunday nite – we didn’t see any on display. So I said to myself – maybe they have it somewhere – but i’m just not seeing it – so today i made a call to Shoppers but was told that the flyer was a nation wide thing and this store still doesn’t carry it. Darn! But the Shoppers Drug Mart here is huge and even though their explanation was they are not boutique like – i feel it is as good as it can get. I was truly disappointed because the sale only goes on to the 7th and i don’t go to the city till next month – and you and I know with cosmetic and skin care – you have to be there to buy it yourself to know that you are getting what you want. Well, I guess I will have no choice but to order from Kose – and here I wanted to try something new. Bummer!

My girlfriend from Malaysia sent an early birthday gift from the Body Shop – boy! was i surprised – not only was it expensive – this 2 things cost her $50 Canadian inclusive of wrapping and shipping. But i still feel it was too ex – too much money spent. She must have great credit score because she was able to order this online – while i wasn’t able to use my credit card to order anything from Tiffany to be sent back to Singapore or Malaysia. I haven’t tried the two presents yet because I wanna wait till I am feeling better – one is a shower cream and the other is a butter body cream – must be really rich. I had one from the spouse’s Aunt a few years ago – and I haven’t used it yet. But they are still good because it hasn’t been opened at all. I can’t wait to try out my birthday gift. Thank you so much .. Barb!!

I caught a nasty cold last week and boy ! two days into the cold .. my nose and upper lips was so sore i couldn’t even eat properly. I was looking at some uv pond filter with my girlfriends and they recommended Vaseline and lo and behold – I kid you not – after putting them on my nose – instantly i felt relieved. I continued using it for a few days and I was totally sore free. So gals instead of buying expensive creams – all you need is Vaseline – it works like magic ..!! had i know about this earlier – my daughter would not be suffering with sore nose for a long time.

Yes! Dove has a man range too – so while the spouse was looking at some life insurance quote i looked up this new range and kinda like it already even just by reading it. You see – men like my spouse – well they donch believe in exfoliating or cleansing and stuff that we do. Why? because they claimed that the products were used are only for ladies. Well, now men have no excuses but to clean themselves up and protect their skin. Containing half or more moisturizing cream the wash – you can see a difference really soon. Plus they are not expensive either – so definitely worth trying out.

Die hard fans of Lancome’s, I’m sure you already know about the Lancome Spring Promo! I sure didn’t want to miss out on it, so while the spouse is out shopping for a ps3, guess where I headed? Yes – the Lancome Counter of course at the Halifax Shopping Mall. I live for the goodie bags from Lancome – they are of such good value – this spring when you buy $60 and above – you get a $240 value 7 piece gift from Lancome. Lip color with SPF 15, replenishing cream, mascara, activating cream and a special lancome travel case. But don’t forget to ask for 2 free samples if you spend $85 or more - but limited to special members like myself only.

So are you one of us that is shy to wear sleeveless clothings or something that shows your arm even on warm summer days? Well, one of the reasons why many women won’t do that is because they think they have fat upper arms – i for one am one of them – but others have problems because of dark underarms – raise your hands if you are one of them – don’t be shy now – once upon a time i was like that too – even with promotional items that were recommended i still failed to bring my underarms into a lighter color – so what can one do – if you are in my shoes. Try the below home remedy.
1 . Lemon has the quality to remove dead cells of the skin and deliver a fresh look to it. Take a lemon slice and rub it gently to the dark underarm area. You can also use alum powder instead of deodorants to prevent your skin from darkening.
2. Milk is a useful ingredient for treating dark skin occurrence at armpits. Take a tablespoon of curd, 1 tablespoon of ground flour, a pinch of turmeric and tablespoon of milk. Mix all of them and apply the paste on dark underarms. Rinse with cold water when it dries.
3. Apply paste of sandalwood and rose water on your underarms. Wash it after 15 minutes with cold water.
4. Apply vitamin E oil on your armpits.
5. Wash the dark underarms with coconut oil.
6. Take juice of cucumber and mix it with turmeric powder. You can also add lime juice to enhance the capability of the mixture to fight against skin darkening underarms. Apply this mixture for half an hour and then, wash it away to get glowing skin underarms.

So you have a big dinner or date to attend and that darn pimples had to come out right about last night – looking all so horrid and red. What do you do? My secret..?? Dab pimple with ice cube to reduce swelling and follow with antiseptic witch hazel – this i learned from skin id reviews hehe!! Then Cover it with primer and liquid foundation. Dot on yellow based concealer with a small pointed brush and then lightly press loose powder over the area using a soft, clean eye shadow brush. Cover the red are with as little product as possible. Focus on the positive by going with a thickeer eyebrow or brighter lips.

So you have blemishes? did i tell you that the best multivitamin are great for skin? ok ok ! i hear yer – you still have blemishes. whatever stage your offending blemish is at, over the counter products with salicylic acid can help exfoliate the top layer of skin and open up clogged pores. But try Burt’s Bee new herbal blemish stick because it is 100% natural formula that includes the soothing tea tree and parsley to calm the redness afterwhich – take lots of multivitamins.
