New Deodorant

I make my own deodorant have been making and using my own for a year now and the base always remains the same but I play around with the notes.







It’s expensive to make because its 100% essential oil but it last a long time and most importantly it works. The base is sandalwood and 2 kinds of frankincense and in this one I added rosewood a pretty tea note kind of rosewood along with one drop of sambac jasmine and a few drops of lavender. It’s the best one thus far it’s so clean and not overpowering like some that I have made in the past.

Summer Make-up

I use to think that I have to have this full face of makeup that I see so well done on other people and I love how it look on them so it must look good on me right no wrong. Know that it's not the norm to look like everyone else.



I do not like foundation and I honestly do not need a full face of makeup, other things that I am not a fan of but will wear now and then is black eye liner and mascara because they take forever to come off and it’s just too messy.



Cream is my friend I like a dewy health look at all times



Must have

1. Korres Quercetin & Oak Antiageing & Antiwrinkle Concealer for spot treatment on any dark spots on my face but not around my eyes.



2. Vapour Stratus Instant Skin Perfector around the eyes the texture is super silky and it has Light Reflective Technology.



3. Korres brown eyeliner on upper and lower lash line.



4. Vapour or Tate cream blush on cheeks



5. Tart Brilliant on high cheek bone, under eye brow, bridge of nose and at the top of my lip to add a touch of glow.



6. Korres lip pencils and lip gloss or vapour cream blush on my lips finish my look.

No Fuss Skin Care

I have been so busy with other project that I find myself not fussing over my skin care and hair care these days. Researching different oils reading blogs upon blogs takes the attention off the things I use to fuss over. To be honest with you my skin has never look better.
Must do/haves for  health glowing Skin

 1. A gentle cleansing system products I use are Vanishing Spell Face Cleansing Serum
by UHW, Ghassool L'Eau De Rose Purifying Paste and Rose Hips Black Soap by Shea Terra.


I end each day with a oil massage with Vanishing spell take it off and then apply Rose Hips Black Soap or purifying paste and let it sit for a few and then take it off with a warm facial cloth.

In the morning I spray with aloe vera juice mix with a few essential oils and then wipe this off and rinse with water.

2. Natural oils and butters all day every day I cannot live without, I have so many that I use from day to day but let me list a few.

At nights after I cleanse and my skin is dry (I do not use towels on my face) I dry brush 100 strokes on each side of my face. I then apply Argan & Green Coffee Around-Eye Serum and then massage some oil on my face (Argan oil mix with African Baobab Oil, Rooibos & Vitamin E Anti-Oxidant Facial Serum or Argan & Rose Serum of Youth all by Shea Terra) not all at once please pick one and then I use my Derma Roller 2-3 times per week.

In the morning I apply Yangu Oil mix with Rooibos & Vitamin E Anti-Oxidant Facial Serum all by Shea Terra or (rose hip seed oil infused with camu camu power my own creation) if I don’t feel like blending oils together I apply Surya Cream by UHW this stuff is amazing all of the oils I wear in the morning have mild natural sun block.

On the weekend when I am out and about in the sun for a longer time I mix in red raspberry seed oil in the above every day morning oils and wear a hat.

A Wing and a Prayer Perfumes in Flowers

I have ordered form them before and sampled a few of the scent in this fine ETSY store, but I revisited one of the samples that I had stash by the name of  Flowers and I just could not get over how this scent got me out of the last few days of winter and I had hopes for summer to come soon.

I am having a lot of fun making and using my own creations but once in a while you stock up on the things your loving and Flowers has been that thing that I could not get much of.  Its everything you imagine a fragrance called Flowers to be its like sunshine in a bottle, and your covered in a bed of blooms upon blooms of flowers.

Its very sweet so if your not one for the sweet stuff stay aways and let me tell you I am one to be easily nauseated by certain scents but not Flowers it puts a smile on my face whenever I get a wind of this scent in my crazy workdays.  It boast notes of Gardenias and Linden Blossom and to be honest with you I do not detect a single not of rose nor jasmine I just smell a new hybrid of a new species of flowers maybe the queen of flowers "Rose" and the king of flowers "Jasmine" came together and gave birth to this beauty.

New Blog

Yes another one I don't even update the 3 blogs that I have and yet I've created another blog, the blending bug bit me and I have hit the ground running.

This blog will be about mixing and creating.

Take a look and come with me on this adventure
