Raw honey from Fiegel Apiaries in Appleton, NY!
Believe it or not, raw honey is great for reducing the appearance of scars and any kind of redness you might have! My sister and I will occasionally dip gauze into warm water and honey and let that sit on our faces for about 45 minutes. You would be shocked at how much of a difference it makes!

I have seen several posts of people saying drinking water has not helped their acne. Some people are lucky enough where a water only routine keeps their skin clear. Others are unfortunate (like me) where a water onlyroutine will not keep their skin clear.
I’m a firm believer in drinking a gallon of water a day. Water is key to life and to beautiful skin. Since taking my water intake seriously, I have seen a change in my skin. My skin is more moisturized and looks more healthy. Water has done wonders for my skin, but it is not my only way of keeping my skin clear of acne. I have developed a routine of toning, moisturizing, and exfoliating my skin.
If you drink lots of water and your skin is still breaking out, you might have to try different ways of fighting acne in addition to drinking water.
I been recently using coffee grounds as a facial/body scrub and I love it. I brew my own coffee everyday and use the grounds for my beauty needs. I love how it makes my face feel and look, plus i’m saving money on buying a facial scrub. This is a natural and easy scrub that I recommend you trying.
Benefits
- Makes skin smooth
- Exfoliates dry skin
- Improves cellulite
- Contains a lot of antioxidants
- Improves puffy eyes
- Fights wrinkles
- Improves blood circulation
Instructions:

Mix these ingredients together and rub the mixture in a circular motion. I recommend changing the proportions of these ingredients depending on your skin type and if you will be using this as a facial or body scrub.

Lemon Basil Shea Butter Soap
One hobby I’ve recently became familiar with is making cold-process soap from home. The best part about it is you get to choose what oils & vitamins to add to create a bar that fits your skin type. But since I am a beginner, I prefer to check out different recipes and follow some creative ideas that are on the internet. This Lemon-Basil Shea Butter Soap is one of them!
The ingredients are simple, very moisturizing & refreshing.
Anything made with shea butter and coconut oil is an instant winner for me.

INDIE BEAUTY EXPO HAUL
Last week I attended the Indie Beauty Expo in New York and I must say, it was a breathtaking experience! From the outstanding speech Kimberly Elise gave us about her journey as a natural haired woman in hollywood to the wide selection of Indie brands, I was truly impressed.
As you may know, I am passionate about DIY’s and green beauty. I try to avoid commercial beauty products that are swamped with ingredients I cant pronounce. That’s simply why I attended this event. For once, I was surrounded by brands that wanted to protect my skin and the environment with clean & green ingredients.
The expo had never ending tables of brands with wonderful ingredients and outstanding entrepreneurs. I will be doing a haul and review on some of the products I collected from the expo. So stay tuned :)
