Happy New Year!!!
Can you believe a whole year has whizzed by?! I can barely keep up!
What better way to bring in the new year than with a fresh start for your skin? Feel great from the inside out and let your light shine!
It’s much easier to help those around us when we feel better, so take good care of yourselves…yes, you! Take some time to pamper yourself a bit and you’ll be able to give those you love more of your precious self.
And who doesn’t want a great all natural wrinkle reducer and line eraser?
For those that love pure beauty products free of chemicals, but can’t always afford them, and dream of simple DIY projects….this is for you.
After some research I found a few faves I had to try.
I’ve looked high and low for the best all-natural facial anti-aging moisturizers and wrinkle reducers, and from all the reviews and a few proper articles I’ve come across: this company wins almost every time:
Acure Organics for best all around company. There were some others that were even better, but their prices were out of this world for more luxury ingredients.
(and no, I have nothing to do with them, nor have I received anything from them).
So without further ado….
Here’s some great products and how to make them:
