This is especially for all my nieces today. ALL my nieces are beautiful. I wanted to share with them something I wish I had known a bit earlier. Better late than never.
Today is my 'NO MAKE UP. I LOVE ME FOR ME DAY'
Take a shower using natural products. Dry off and find an oil suitable for you. I use avocado because Auntie is not as young as she use to be. You can use almond, coconut, apricot, etc.
I spray rosewater on my face. I've make this and have sold it for a long time. I apply either macadamia or Argan oil with a spoolie brush to my eyebrows and eyelashes. Yes,you can curl lashes if you would like. Spray rosewater again.
I use macadamia or Argan oil on my damp hair. I comb out gently. I add more to the ends. Let it air dry. Leave it alone.
Then I oil pull. This is gross but strengthens, makes your teeth whiter, mineralizes the enamel, and detoxifies. You use a teaspoon/tablespoon of organic extra virgin coconut oil. This is swished around for 20 min. Never, ever swallow the oil. It takes a bit to get use to. 5 min. Is better than none.
I make a shake using a vegan protein, blueberries, 1 cup of spinach/greens, 1 1/2 T. Coconut, chia and ground flax seed, 3 drops of vanilla stevia and about 6 to 8 oz. natural organic apple juice. Mix in blender/Ninja.
I use filtered water, slices of lemon, and fill in my favorite glass bottle. Drink, Drink, Drink. I have lots of recipes for infused waters and shakes I can share later.
