Flawless Skin from your pantry.





Want beautiful, smooth , clear skin without spending a dime?
You've come to the right place. This Honey w/Lemon facial cleanser/mask made with ingredients right from your kitchen is guaranteed to leave your skin clear and smooth. 
HONEY w/ Lemon facial 
 This will help you with acne, the prevention of breakouts and smoothing of the skin.
Natural pure honey contains anti-bacterial and anti- inflammatory properties.It is beneficial to the treatment of acne because it will dry up and eliminate your acne and unlike over the counter acne medicine , the honey will not dry out your skin but instead leave it smooth and clean.
FYI//Lemon contains whitening agents, this will help eliminate dead skin to reveal a fresh new skin. ( sort of like a cheap facial peel, without the doctor) 

You will  need:
Grade A Pure Honey ( I use Kirkland Clover Honey) 
a Lemon
a bowl.
//Mix 2 parts honey with 1 part of lemon juice.
( create a thick , creamy substance, thick enough to apply to the skin and not have it run)

Apply to a clean face, and leave it on for 15-30 mins. rinse off with warm water and cloth to reveal fresh, clean skin. 
You can make enough to store in your fridge and use it up to a week. 
I use this honey and lemon mix daily , and it helps  clears my acne, and prevents future breakouts, and not to forget it leaves my skin ridiculously smooth.
Give it a try and let me know what you guys think. Wouldn't hurt to try , the ingredients are right in your kitchen, or should I say my mom's kitchen. 

PS. If you eat a spoonful of honey everyday your skin will thank you.

THE DEVIL'S WORK

Acne/Breakouts

Whether you call it Zits, pimples, breakouts , acne, no matter the fancy name you have for it ..its never welcomed on my face. I don't think there's anyone that likes or even tolerates acne. Acne can be a grave problem  because it can make anyone a little insecure. Breakouts caused by stress among other things. Now you find yourself getting stressed because stress is creating the solar system on your face, you can see how stressful that is. The first thing people see is your face and you try your best to keep it fresh and clean then suddenly you wake up with a random bump somewhere on your face. That usually throws off my whole day. You can't help but feel as though the whole world is looking at you and diagnosing you, wondering how dirty your face is, and thinking you probably do not take care of your face while in reality you have a cabinet full of beauty products, and loads of home remedies stash somewhere.Okay! well maybe I'm over reacting ,but you get where I'm going with this.
Your local drug stores such as Walgreen's, CVS, Ride aid etc. can have some great products to help combat your breakouts,zits, acne whatever!  and is very light on the pockets, trust me I am the biggest bargain shopper. I've recently been having some breakouts on both sides of my face and was looking for new products to try.Whenever I had breakouts in the past I've used Neutrogena scrubs and achieved great results but was never really satisfied with how harsh it was on my face and the dryness was unacceptable.

L'oreal New Go 360 Clean- Anti-Breakout facial Cleanser $5.99 ,( for steal at my local Walgreen's this product comes with a scrub pad to help you achieve an even deeper cleanse. Immediately my face felt softer and smoother. I've been using it for over three days now and my breakouts have began to disappear and I have not gotten new ones.
I also purchased a mud mask which I don't usually do because I've been  using the same sea weed mask for the past two years, but I said what the heck ( Words of a junkie ).

Its called Formula 10.0.6 Deep Down Detox Ultra-cleaning Mud Mask. $6.46
It promises to "cleanses impurities for a clearer,brighter complexion...... your face will notice the difference" their words not mine.
I look forward to seeing the results from this product. I used it once in the past few days and after using it my face felt fresh that's pretty much it. I sure hope " My face notice the difference".



Beauty Regimen:
 ~Steam Facial once a week
~Ocean Hydropower deepsea facial twice a month
~Oatmeal exfoliation mask once a week ( I have a tutorial coming up for that this week)
~Aveeno clear complexion Daily Moisturizer

Sultry Field


We all know that one person who thrive in doing something different every time you run into them. That person who's in culinary school one day because she just discovered that she would like to be the next Julia Child but the next shes in the works to become the great Andy Warhol. Do you know that person? yes that's me. well ..no  Maybe I over dramatized it a little bit. But I'm that girl that just like to explore new things and will pretty much give anything a try , you may think its a good thing ..my parents ... not so much. I have already figured out that I will most likely have 10 different careers by the time I'm 60.Impossible you say! I think not. I'm a firm believer that we were not born and destined to do just one thing for the rest of our lives.SO trust me I am not a hot head. ok enough with the rambling I will just get to the point. since I am a lover and explorer of all things beautiful and creative, this past summer I took on project of a vintage Diy line where I created a series and custom made shorts,jackets, shirt as well as a beaded jewelry collection. This is a shoot featuring the beautiful and exotic Kenda Skye ( phuckyoblawg.tumblr.com )
