Home spa:)))

I've become obsessed with taking care of my skin and body lately. its important to include here though that i don't stress about my weight and don't think women should either unless something really is wrong. I've always been quite skinny and have never had to struggle with my weight unless when i feel I've been too skinny which my girlfriends don't think is a problem lol. but it can be.  same way people worry that taking one more bite of that cake may go straight to your hips, I sometimes am concerned that missing a lunch will shave another few pounds off of me. so if anything I may stress over that but i definitely don't give the issue of my weight too much thought.

 I'm also from a culture that celebrates food and eating. I was raised to feel that women are supposed to be a bit curvy and have some weight on them and that we're supposed to enjoy our curves.
anyways, so my diet has had to change a bit so i can maintain a more fuller figure since i am naturally petite. and I've had to even put it in the calender so my phone goes off when its time to eat something because i forget. alot. ESPECIALLY when i have alot to do. and then i look like a corpse after a while which is just...not good. on this pic to the left i think im good, i usually am a bit skinnier though and THAT looks nasty lol.

So i started eating better to improve that but i also want my skin to be healthy nurtured and soft.
I started researching it and there were just so many treatments. Both online and in different health books. My focus is to keep ,my body healthy as much as i can. Im an actress and a singer..so this really is my main instrument in my profession. all sources agree that water is Nr 1. your skin needs it, and its essential as a singer or actor - vocal cords vibrate against each other to produce sound and the throat needs to be humid and lubricated for that.
alot of people already know this, but in case you don't, here are some tips for your hair,body and face as well as dry feet. these are my favorite from a number of different home spa treatments you can find online and they WORK.


Hair:
1 Banana mixed in 4tsp olive oil.

OR

4 tsp Olive oil and Avocado 1

BODY
The avocado and olive oil works
for your body as well but if you are
using it as a body mask you'll need more
like 6tsp olive oil and 1 avocado.
mix it and apply to your body. I would put a couple of towels
on your bed and enjoy and movie so it can work on your
skin for at least an hour or two. I've had it on all day...olive oil is magic
for your skin.

Another idea is milk. take a bath maybe once a month
in milk. Heat the milk with honey if you want and fill your bathtub in it.
stay in there for about 30 minutes (you could always reheat it some with hot water)

My third one that i would do as often as possible is honey and brown sugar.
AMAZING for your face and body.
2tsp honey and 1tsp sugar for your face AND neck (melt they honey by putting the honey into hot water before pouring it out)

FACE
yogurt
egg whites+honey for a fresh feel to your skin.

feet
for dry or cracked heels either use olive oil, honey or Vaseline generously before
covering your feet with socks for the night. this feels so amazing
and your feet get SO SOFT!

here is another tip i came across online. Now i barely have boobs so i cant try this,
but egg and cucumber mixed makes a great mask for breasts that are sagging  need an update:) you leave it on for half an hour and wash it off in the shower. Massaging your breasts regularly with olive oil or ice is supposed to help firm them as well! lol

Its a joy to try these out at home when there is time so i'll try to do posts like these more. I know its not always easy to find the time. to mix sugar and honey takes 2 minutes...and with the yogurt its just a matter of applying it. doing one or the other every other day or so does so much for your skin.  Do you have any suggestions for home spa treatments  that work? lemme know either on FB or on the blog! x
