How To: Lemon Scrub

Freshly squeezed lemons are loaded with all the good stuff ! I have used this mixture for a great while and suggest your daily moisturizer afterwards. Your skin will feel superior, i'm sure of this :) Enjoy!


Ingredients: 
4 tablespoons sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 fresh lemon


Mixture & Application:
First mix the olive oil and sea salt together. Once the salt gets coated by the oil, the lemon won’t dissolve it! Next cut the lemon in half and squeeze over the salt + oil. Mix and mash. Then scrub away!! Following rinse face with warm water and pat dry.


TIP:
Lemons can irritate the skin so avoid if you have broken or sensitive skin . Never apply lemon on its own to the skin, always mix it with water or other ingredients. Also don’t apply lemon to the skin before sun exposure.

Ruche: An Unending Love


My Story: Waiting...
love sure to never return? The seconds passed like hours and the minutes as days.Missing him, her lover gone. Will he return to me? She waited for him each day returning to the roads once walked upon and lakes floated over by two young lovers. Forever is how long ill wait. She remembered his smile and the warmth of his skin as he held her close. True love meant to last and a burning fire within the heart they both had for one another.

What products are you loving right now?!
I think from now on I will post my favorite products every month. They do change frequently, the color tones however do remain the same. I work in an office so fun colors are 
not what you'll find in my makeup bag.

I find that these days I carry more makeup with me then I should. I have outlined the products I have have with me always even the the flow of other cosmetics is different. Perhaps I should do reviews on these products as well? I do have a Green by Nature Review coming up shortly,very excited for that :) I do love the products I own from the company! :)
