Exfoliate Using This Awesome DIY Body Scrub For An Unbelievable Soft And Toned Body!

I don't know what it is but I swear as soon as the weather starts turning cold my skin rurns into the Sahara desert. Which means I have to switch to a more moisturizing skin care regime but the richer products while solving one issue brings up another..... Clogged skin!!! The Only way I can keep my skin feeling and looking healthy is by exfoliating at least three times a week and moisturizing  every morning and before bed. 

Below is one of my favorite diy scrubs, it's amazing and it also helps tone your skin, which improves cellulite and helps clear out acne. Try and do this scrub at least twice a week and focus on your problem areas. Moisturize immediately after and you won't believe how amazing you skin will look and feel! 

Ingredients:

• 3 cups ground coffee of you choice
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil (cooled or melted)
• 2 tablespoons vitamin e oil

Directions:

Mix all your ingredients together until you get a consistent pasty, scrub-like texture. This is a larger batch, so you can use and store the rest in a Tupperware or ziplock bag to use again. 

Drugstore Product Of The Week: Jergens BB Body Perfecting Cream!

I have to be honest, when I first saw this Jergens BB perfecting skin cream I was very skeptical. I have had the chance to try a lot of BB creams for the face but never one for the body. This product is really great, from the first time I used it I could immediately feel a difference in my skin. My skin is VERY dry and this cream made my skin look hydrated and soft. My skin looked more radiant and even toned.  

La verdad es que estaba muy resistente a tratar esta crema de Jergens, una que supuestamente al igual que las BB cremas para la cara ofrece tantos beneficios. Al tratarla confirme que efectivamente es bien buena. Inmediatamente pude notar una diferencia en la suavidad de mi piel y lucia mucho mas radiante.

The Five Benefits Of Jergens BB Body Perfecting Cream// Los Cinco Beneficios De Jergens:

1. Hydrate/ Hidrata
2. Illuminate/ Ilumina
3. Even/ Empareja 
4. Firm/ Tonifica
5. Correct/ Correciona

The creams come for all light skin tones and for all medium deep tones, I made a mistake and purchased the one for light skin tones. I will use it all and then buy the one for deep skin tones and see if I see any difference. Have you tried this product? 

La cremas viene en dos opciones una para pieles blancas y otra para pieles oscuras. Cometi el error de no fijarme bien y compre la de pieles blancas pero la verdad no se que me estoy perdiendo. Voy a terminarla y luego compro la de pieles oscuras a ver si not un cambio.....Ustedes que opinan, van a tratar este producto?

Good Luck/ Buenas Suerte! Xxx

 Im honestly struggling right now my grandmother is living with me and if your grandma is like mine then you know what that means!

Is You Hair Breaking You Out?/ Tu Acne Puede Ser Causado Por Tu Cabello!

One of the biggest causes for body acne is actually our hair products! We use so many oil and shine-enhancing products that help keep our hair tamed but also add a TON of oils in our hair! Of course our hair needs it, our skin however, not so much! So one of the easiest ways to boot backne is actually keeping your hair off your shoulders and back when you get out of the shower! If you are a tank gal, try wearing a full neck tee until your hair dries! I also use a body wash with salicylic as a main ingredient and it prevents and treat my body acne.  As for breakouts around your forehead area, after you apply your hair products, run a toner along your forehead and apply a light moisturizer! This has personally helped me in keeping my skin super clear and bump-free!!

Una de las principales causas para el acné corporal es, en realidad, nuestra productos para el cabello! Utilizamos muchos brillos de mejorar los productos que ayudan a mantener nuestro cabello suaves sino también agregar una TONELADA de aceites en el pelo! Por supuesto, nuestro cabello lo necesita, nuestra piel no tanto! Por lo tanto, una de las maneras más fáciles de evitar acne en la espalda es realmente mantener el cabello fuera de  de los hombros y la espalda al salir de la ducha! Si usted es una chica que tiende a andar con blusas sin mangas, intente usar un cuello hasta que el cabello se seque! Yo también uso un jabón de lavado con ácido salicílico como ingrediente principal y previene y tratar mi el acné. Para evitar el acné alrededor de la frente, después de aplicar los productos para el cabello, ejecutar un tóner en su frente y aplicar una crema humectante. Esto me ha ayudado personalmente en mi piel super claro y acne gratis!!

Treat Your Feet/ Trata Tus Pies Como Se Merecen!

If there ever was a time your feet needed all the TLC possible is in the summer. Think about it, all we do is expose our feet. We walk around in flip-flops all day, walk barefoot in the rocky beaches of MA, expose it to the chlorine in our pools, and then force them into high heels and dance on them all night! At the end of the night if you took 2 minutes of your time and rubbed a little of this magic potion your feet will thank you, and not to mention it will feel oh so good. I love this foot cream from Sabon, I first tried a sample I received in my Birchbox one month and I'm hooked for life. I not only use it on my feet but also my super dry hands and elbows. This amazing foot cream is rich in antioxidants, shea butter, aloe and to soothe and anti-funfal camphor and menthol, try it you will love it for sure! 

Si alguna vez hubo un tiempo que tus pies necesitan todo el cariño posible es en el verano. Piensa en ello, todo lo que hacemos es exponer a nuestros pies. Caminar todo el día en sandalias, caminar descalzo en las playas, exponerlo al cloro en las piscinas, obligarlos a tacones y bailar con ellos toda la noche! Al final de la noche si tomas 2 minutos de tu tiempo y frota un poco de esta poción mágica tus pies te lo agradecerán, y sin mencionar que se sentirán oh tan bien. Me encanta esta crema para pies de Sabon, primero probé una muestra que recibí en mi Birchbox un mes y estoy obcesionada por vida. Lo uso no sólo en mis pies pero también mis super secas manos y codos. Este sorprendente crema de pies es rico en antioxidantes, manteca de karité, aloe y para calmar y anti-funfal alcanfor y mentol.

Estrias? StretchMarks?

 Stretch marks are a nightmare, I hate them so much and I would just do about anything to make them disappear! Unfortunately there is no such thing that will remove them completely, once the skin is stretched and marked you are pretty much just going to have to deal. There are however lovely treatments that will help diminished them and make them less visible. Here I made a list of my favorite proven treatments to help fade stretch marks. 

 Las estrias son una pesadilla. las odio tanto que honestamente haria lo que fuera por desapareserlas por completo de mi cuerpo. Desafortunadamente esto no es posible, despues que la piel se estrecha hasta este punto que marca estrías ya no hay nada mas que hacer que lidiar. Lo que si hay es muchos tratamientos y tips que te pueden ayudar a que no se noten tanto y se aclaren con el tiempo. Aqui les tengo mis tips favoritos!

Tips
Exercise: This is probably the best tip I can give you, I honestly saw such an improvement from exercising. And in all honesty who's looking at stretch marks when instead they can be looking at toned abs and a sexy butt?   
                                                                       
 Ejercisios es probablemente el tip mas importante que les puedo dar. Al tonificar tu cuerpo la piel se te notara mas firme y las estrias ni seran vista     
                                                                                         
 Diet
What we eat is so important, it wont only make us feel better but it definetly helps us look our best too. Eat all your veggies and fruits and drink half you body weight in water daily and you will see a big difference in how your skin looks. 

Tu dieta es otra cosa muy importante para obtener una piel saludable. Asegurate que estas comiendo todos tus vegetales y frutas y que bebes mucha agua durante el dia. Comensaras a sentirte mejor y con el tiempo tu piel se vera espectacular también.

Exfoliate

Exfoliating and/or dry brushing removes layers of dead skin to unveil soft, fresh skin. Some marks may be difficult to reach and areas like the breasts are more sensitive, but do what you can.

Use a loofah or an exfoliator, bought or home-made -- sea salt, oatmeal, baking soda, ground coffee or apricot scrub, with a wet washcloth. Add any of them to olive oil to make a paste and then massage the stretch marks for 10 minutes in a circular motion while you are in the shower.

Or use this as your exfoliator:

5 tablespoons of scrub

1 teaspoon aloe vera gel

1/2 teaspoon vitamin E

1 teaspoon cocoa butter

Rinse off afterwards.

Apply lemon juice which helps stretch marks fade. Allow it to dry, then rinse with warm water and towel dry your skin.

A derma or skin roller helps oil penetrate more deeply. If using one, use it now before you moisturize.

Exfoliante o cepillado en seco elimina capas de piel muerta para revelar piel fresca, y suave. Algunas marcas pueden ser difíciles de alcanzar y zonas como los senos son más sensibles, pero haga lo que pueda.

Use una esponja o un exfoliante, comprado o hecha en casa, sal, harina de avena, bicarbonato de sodio, café molido o albaricoque friega, con un paño húmedo. Añadir cualquiera de ellos a aceite de oliva para hacer una pasta y luego masaje las estrías durante 10 minutos en un movimiento circular mientras estás en la ducha.
O utilizarlo como tu exfoliante:
5 cucharadas de scrub
gel de aloe vera 1 cucharadita
1/2 cucharadita de vitamina E
1 cucharadita de manteca de cacao
Enjuagar luego.
Aplique jugo de limón que ayuda que la marca se desvanecen. Deje que se seque, luego enjuague con agua tibia y toalla seque la piel.

Moisturize and hydrate

The more you infuse your skin with moisture the better.

Massage any natural oil into your stretch marks. What oil you use matters less than that you regularly and vigorously massage these areas, thereby improving circulation and promoting rejuvenation.

Cocoa butter

Rose hip oil

Extra virgin olive oil

Castor oil

Emu oil

Lanolin oil

Vitamin E oil

Vitamin A

Vitamin C

Vitamin K cream

Jojobo oil

Natural shea butter

Aloe vera

Masaje cualquier aceite natural en sus estrías. ¿Qué aceite utilizas importa menos que te regularmente y masaje enérgicamente estas áreas, lo que mejorará la circulación y promover el rejuvenecimiento. Estos aceite son mis favoritos que promueven la rejuvenecimiento.
Aceite de rosa mosqueta

Aceite de oliva virgen extra
Aceite de ricino
Aceite de emú
Aceite de lanolina
Aceite de vitamina E
Vitamina A
Vitamina C
Crema de vitamina K
Aceite de Jojobo
Manteca natural de karité
Aloe vera

My Favorite Combination Of Oils

Mix almond oil, castor oil, avocado oil and vitamin E oil together.

Combine vitamin E oil and cocoa butter.

Make a paste of vitamin E rich oil such as olive oil or castor oil with aromatic herbs like mint, lemon grass, lavender, thyme, and massage for 20 minutes before going to sleep.

Bio Oil is great.

Mezclar aceite de almendras, aceite de ricino, aceite de aguacate y vitamina E aceite.

Combine aceite de vitamina E y manteca de cacao.
Haga una pasta de vitamina E de aceite rico como aceite de oliva o aceite de ricino con hierbas aromáticas como la menta, hierba de limón, lavanda, tomillo y masaje durante 20 minutos antes de ir a dormir.
Bio Oil es fantastico.

I hope that these tips were helpful for you, in the meantime learn to live with them. Being proud of your body, stretch marks and all, is a very appealing quality. 

Espero que estos tips los allan ayudado, mientras tanto aprendan a vivir con sus estrias. Estar orgulloso de su cuerpo es halgo que lo hara lucir mas bello.

The Lotion That Keeps On Giving!

 It's not everyday day I give with the intention of receiving anything back, but that's exactly what happened when I first purchased Lush's charity pot. This lotion is no joke it is made with organic cocoa butter which is amazing at hydrating, and evening out your skin and its tone. I do use this at night  as the smell can be a little to much to wear with my perfumes, I do love the smell thought it smells like chocolate covered strawberries (yummy).  Lush promises that all the money excluding tax will go to grassroots charities which makes this an even more special lotion. So next time you are in a lush store check this lotion out and hopefully you love it as much as I do! Good Luck Xxx

Purchase: LUSH
Price: $22.95

Love At First Sniff!

Where has this been all my life? no seriously... I got this as a present and I LOVE it, it smells so fresh and clean and lovely. I read somewhere that the creator gaye straza wanted the scent to remind her of Hawaii, well I've never been there but I should live there if this is what it smells like. The lotion is very moisturizing but not too rich which will make it an excellent body cream to use when the weather is warmer outside. It is a bit pricey but you get a lot of products. Good Luck Xxx

Purchased: Gift
Price: $36-$37 Per Bottle

Drugstore Find: Yes To Carrots Daily Moisture Body Lotion!

I have to confess that I was not one to be switching and trying out a lot of different products, except for makeup. If something works I keep it until they either stop working or the company stops making it. Since I started blogging I have become more open to trying out new things, And boy am I sooooo glad! I went to Target the other day to purchase a few things, when I decided to check out this yes to carrots Nourishing Body Lotion. They have a open bottle there so you can pump some out and try. So I did and immediately knew this would be a keeper. With the cold weather coming I will need as much moisture on my my skin as I can get and this will do the trick! I love that its not greasy or sticky, its immediately absorbed  into my skin just leaving a sweet clean smell and super soft skin! What I love about these product is that its 99% natural, and nothings better then that. It is packed with beta-carotene- a powerful anti-oxidant that protects and nourishes your skin, add safflower seed and jojoba oil for super soft skin, and locks in moisture with the power of Dead Sea minerals. I am in love with this product and will actually go back and check out their other products. Good Luck Xxx
