Busy Bee
I have been a lazy and busy bee these days, family and friends are going to fill my home this summer starting on Saturday, so I am busy cleaning house and its hard work and then the heat drains all my energy but I still love you my dear sun.
I plan on going thrifty to get a dining table but the boys don't enjoy my style for strange and crusty looking things, so they try to talk me out of it all the time. They love new and shiny while I love old and vintage. My dad and I went to Home Goods last weekend and I pick up an wooded art for my wall on sale for only $10, two mirror with wood around then for $5 each and a small picture for $2 I live for a sale by the way, he was like where are you going with that I was like it looks vintage and used so I will buy it thank you.
I need to attend to my garden and the flowers they are being neglected because on the weekend I spend time with my dad and sisters along with G, so my home and yard do not get the time and attention it deserve but at times I just want to get away from it all and that is where the laziness kicks in. I think the sun hits my home the hardest so everything that I plant dies from the blazing sun, gots to find shade to keep them safe it can get pretty hot here in Florida blazing hot.
So now that summer is in and what I cannot go to the beach because of the oil spill are you freaking telling me that my summer will be beach less? What fun is summer if iIlive in Florida with great beaches and weather and all I can do is look and do not touch? What about our health come on get it together if you destroy everything that God creates what do you think will happen to you in the near future.
New scents are coming in the mail this weekend i hope and i just wanna smell hurry up mailman hurry. Two need discoveries on ETSY Vireo Perfumes and Midnight Gypsy Alchemy.

Mood Shift
I have been a little out of it as of lately and I just could not put my fingers on it like what is the matter with me yes that is me speaking to myself I do it all the time (I am not crazy).
I was feeling a little fatigued, scent is a mood shifter this I know I started using blends with fragrance oil just a tad for something different you know at times you need a change, but my head started feeling funny my mood was crazy the negative feelings started creeping in and I was just down for no reason I mean I have problems in my life like we all do but this had nothing to do with that. I think that the perfume gave me the negative fibe so now I am back to using only natural scents. Problem solved because i fell upbeat.
The power of nature essential oils and plant base material and the benefits of using natural base products.

Top 10 summer beauty things you must have and do
1. Sun screen- Yep Rainwater Botanical has a few one for the body and one for the face and her products are always on the money, good natural and price right products.
2. Lip balm- Rainwater Botanical again has a nice tangerine lip balm and I love Skin Journeys Italian mint lip balm. I have one in my bag and one by my bed.
3. Facial Mist- Sappo bubbles has a few home distill in pretty glass bottles very fancy stuff. Spay them every time you wash your face and use them to mix your clay.
4. Foot care- time to bring out the flip flaps so the ped egg is a good buy along with Skin Journey Volcanic Ash & Mint foot scrub and Indonesian Aloe & Hydroxy Acid foot treatment. Trust me baby soft.
5. Facial- keep it Light and do a facial every week scrub, steam and clay mask. Your face will glow for summer, remember to replenish after each facial.

6. Body- Take a wash with Eleneetha soap they are the best I should know I have a box full under my bed. Scrub once a week I like salt scrub from skin bath and body her soaps are good too, but if you fancy sugar go for it, soak with Selah from Skinfolk once per week it detox and makes your skin soft, moisturize every time you wash to replenish your skin in the summer I like scented oils over heavy butters.
7. Shave- Use a shaving soap Etsy has a few and my fave is Urbanedan smooth legs shaving soap it smells like roses.

Deodorant
Finally something that works.
I search high and low for a natural deodorant for years and finally i found two that works one i use at night the other at day.
Turtlecreek

Ozonated olive oil deodorant & skin treatment, i use this at nights and whenever I shave, and it totally repair my pits from those awful boils and burnt skin that i got from other deodorant. This first press olive oil is saturated with ozone (said to be a natural bacteria killing agent) made from ambient air, What is this you ask? I do not know, i did my research on this and i like what i read as to if it is true i do not know i am being honest. The smell of this is nutty and spicy and true to an olive scent. I have been using this for a month now and the container is still to the brim so this will last for some time i think. I keep it in the door of my fridge. Do your own research on this beauty and if you know anything about this product educate me, but all i have to say is my pit are ready for summer and they don't have to hide anymore.
The All Natural Face

Vegan crystal deodorant,main ingredient are Potassium alum (some say its good some say its bad), aloe, Essential oils, and let me just say it work no brake out no burnt skin and it smell good but the scent does not last, you still perspire and that's a good thing people you need to sweat.
I say do your own research if you are interested in these products.
Vegan Crystal Deodorant 3oz $7.50
Ozonated Olive Oil Deodorant 1oz $9.95

Jameel by The Scented Djinn
Find you a warm patch in the park, put on your girlie skirt with ruffles and lace, pair it with a platform wedge and a tank top, maybe even a straw hat. Lay your picnic blanket on the grass, kick back and embrace the cool summer breeze and warm sun, open up to your surrounding be in tuned with your senses. That is what Jameel is about ,a cool summer's day.
She opens up vibrantly with sharp green notes, petitgrain hits me to my core, then drifting in and out are the different synergy of citruses just what I ask for on these cooler days before we hit dead on in the blazing sun. Slowly a soft sweet caring floral makes it's way present, this is the Gardenia, Neroli, and Osmanthus speaking, and it brings out the girl in me with pig tails and a romp in the park. At the ending I get something pure, clean, grounded and rare, precious Oudh something memorable that I will take with me for a long time, summer of 2010 and along comes my favorite song ,the long walks on the beach, the picnic in the park when Jameel accompanies me and hug me closely to her.
There is nothing subtle about Jameel nothing demure, she is bold, she takes her stand and makes an impression. She lingers for a while staying for a few hours before re-application is necessary, reminders that she is still around. I wore this scent for one week not once did I get tired of smelling it I craved it more and more each morning I reach for it whenever I wanted that uplifting feeling and the reminder that summer is finally here, how much do I love these cool spring days and I thank you sweet sweet Jameel for your bright vibration.
Justine Crane the Creator of The Scented Djinn and all things complicated and different, something you could call your own whenever you wear one of her creation. This lady is talented (an understatement) and she puts the weirdest things together and they turn out to be the most unique scent i have ever smelled, never once did i smell one of Justine creations and though to myself how i smelled that before. I am always surprise and blown away when i purchase anything from Justine. Embark in what she does with such passion and love what else would you expect. Innovative with her Natural Botanical Perfume she delivers and i am never dissatisfied she only leave me wanting more and stalking her ETSY for new listing.
Jameel comes in an 5ml magenta screw top bottle for $27.00
