Be sure to use a heat protective spray such as Aveda’s Brilliant Damage Control before you start curling. Her hair turned out so bouncy and sexy at the end.

I’ve been battling acne since I moved to the East Coast. My pimples just exploded on the first day I got here. Thank you humidity! However, I’m so glad I moved away from the blazing desert heat of the southwest and I’m enjoying every moment here on the picturesque east side.

No matter what you do for your skin, you can’t avoid the occasional breakout. So, prevention is the key. I’ve used countless acne products for years including Proactiv which irritated my skin to a new level! Here are some of my favorite products that keep pimples & blackheads at bay.

I use several products in conjunction with others so my skin won’t get used to just one type of treatment. Glycolic cleanser from Serious Skin Care is the best everyday cleanser - very gentle yet powerful exfoliator. Oh, make sure to drink plenty of water!

1. Glycolic Mask
2. bliss pore-perfecting facial polish
3. Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips
4. BIOPUR Pore Reducer
5. The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Wash
6. The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Freshner
7. Glycolic Cleanser
8. Clean & Clear Soft Oil-Free Day Moisturizer, SPF 15

We tend to have sweaty feet a lot more during the summer time and you know what that means… smelly, yucky shoes! Ewwwwww! Here is a simple yet cute way to keep your shoes smelling fresh & is also pleasing to the eyes.

There are really tons of ways to use baking soda. I just bought a huge bag from Costco and it comes in so handy when it comes to cleaning kitchen sinks and litter boxes for example. Here is another way - make cute pouches with a small cloth and baking powder inside. Put baking soda in the cloth and tie it with a pretty ribbon. Leave them in the shoes, bathroom or anywhere you want to get rid of the icky odor.

Have a cup of this homemade Watermelon Sherbert… you’ll shiver in no time. Haha! It’s yummy and of course, COLD! You know it’s watermelon season right now so try to create this refreshing summer dessert which is really so easy to make. Yum, Yum!

Probably the simplest sherbert you can make! All you need is watermelon and simple syrup.

Modern & cool… See your face from many different angles. Would that be fun or rather scary, you be the judge. But I think it’s refreshing to have a mirror stand out in a brick wall like the pic below. Fun! This adds crazy dimensions to a room by leaving each mirror tilted and let it shine!. Or, you can group mirrors together in sequence to create a repetitive/pattern effect. I love it!
