Committ to You!





Happy New Year Everyone!
Every year we think of new goals and commitments to obtain, overcome, and achieve. Sometimes we hold ourselves vigorously to them and other times we dismiss it before we even get profoundly into the year. So where does the problem get created in wanting something so badly, yet carelessly letting go of it? I think the problem can be found in commitment. We can commit our mind to come up with the desires of what we want; however our actions sometimes fall short of our words. This prevents us from getting fully involved and engaging with our commitment because it is a less of a risk and challenge to push against the self. Are we afraid to see our full potential? At times it is easier for us to hold another to their "word" but not ourselves. Where is the imbalance/ restraint? I think at times we are afraid of what we really want and therefore do not fully engage with our commitment to avoid disappointment; however, one can only learn their full capability if they push the self without restraint. I think the biggest commitment that one can make is to the self and the highest point of truth comes from within. So I encourage everyone to take this new year as an opportunity to go above and beyond what you've ever known and test your abilities to reach an even more remarkable you!. I will be testing my own abilities and ask you to test yours. To a wonderful 2014! :)

Nurture Your Lips!





         Lips, Lips, Lips!  One of the most beautiful and intimate features on our  faces.  Although, we have many beautiful colors to dress them up with, it is equally important to properly nurture them so they are just as beautiful in there natural state. With age our lips begin to diminish in color, texture, and brightness. There are many factors that contribute to this such as lipstick stains, smoking, sun exposure, and age. Here are some inexpensive natural ways to keep your lips plump, bright, and youthful right out of the comfort of your very own home.

*One of the main reasons that lips get stained and loose color in pigmentation over the years is because of deep lipsticks/lip-liners such as intense reds and pinks which carry a lot of led. To help prevent this, use a cotton ball with olive oil to thoroughly remove lipstick and then a apply a rich balm for moisture.

*With heavy based  matte lipsticks, be sure to wear a balm on the lips before applying lipsticks to keep the lips moisturized and prevent direct lip staining.

* The lips are delicate so always apply a SPF whether it is in a balm, lipstick, or a gloss.

* To exfoliate lips apply olive oil and baking soda to remove and buff old skin.

*To restore shine apply olive oil which will also help plump and shine the lips.

*Petroleum jelly is the best form of deep hydration and moisture for the lips.

*For brightness, apply lime juice and honey about 3 times a week to brighten lip pigmentation and restore its' natural color.

There you have it, at home resources to nurture your lips!

Thank you!
