DETOX WATERS

Detox with water?


If you have a pinterest then you know or have seen the craze with "Detox Water". Pretty much it is a way to get crap out of your system by flushing toxins. It can improve you skin, immune system, digestive tract, kidneys, liver and even give you energy! There are many different types of detox water you can do with many different extremes. Here are some of the most popular.

Lemon Water
Hot Lemon Water every morning
Ginger, Cucumber and Mint
Cranberry
Apple Cinnamon
Jillian Michael's Detox ( cranberry, lemon, dandelion root)

Next are ones that are a bit more.... well... make sure you have a bathroom close.. if you catch my drift.

Master Cleanse ( lemon, cayenne, maple syrup)
Dr. Oz 48 hour
Body Cleanse Diet

I have tried the Lemon, cucumber and mint and it was... special. But I hate mint so take that with a grain of salt.
I decided to make my own!




 
4 small lemons
a handful of blueberries
a few blackberries
about 9 cups of water

I put it in the fridge over night to let it get all happy. Took it out this morning and have been drinking it all day and it is tasty!! I plan to drink this water all day for about a week and of course eat healthy.

What Detox waters or cleanse have you tried? Did they work?

DIY - Flower Halo Headband

These headbands are everywhere right now! But oddly enough I could never find one with the right colors and the right design. So I decided to make one. It was probably the easiest DIY I have ever done, and the fastest. Here is how I made mine.

What you will need
Ribbon
Flowers
Glue gun with glue
scissors

Make sure your flowers have a flat backing so they don't stab you in the head :)
The ribbon I got is kind of lacey too.

Lay out how you want you flowers to be arranged if you are using different colors
Put a drop of hot glue on the back of the flower. Attach the ribbon. Keep going until you have all the flowers on your ribbon.


Wait a few minutes for the glue to dry and you are done! Told you super easy! I just tied mine around my head so it will be easy to put on and take off.







Thank you for your time :) Don't forget to follow !

* Friday Favorites *

Hello hello! Happy Friday!! I wanted to let you guys know what products I have been obsessed with this week!
                                SKINCARE
Nude ProGenius Treatment Oil - Amazing! I am super oily and have always been scared of oils. I tried the Josie Maran and broke out. I tried the Tarte Maracuja Oil and broke out. So this bad boy sat in my drawer forever :( When I finally used it I wanted to slap myself for not trying it before. This bad boy does it all! 10 plants oils, omega 3,6,7 and 9 help with lines, pores, redness, dryness, breakouts, oiliness and radiance! I use it just at night as my moisturizer and wake up with glowing skin :)

Peter Thomas Roth FirmX Peeling Gel - This is a peeling gel that rolls off dead skin! SICK! But so COOL! It helps get all the dirt and oil in your pores so you get clearer skin with clean pores and a smooth face!

ALGENIST Pore Correcting Anti Aging Primer- You read that right! A Primer that keeps your makeup on all day but also treats pores and lines??? That is what is does! I really love this stuff! My face is so smooth and my makeup wears for a very long time!

DR. LIPP original nipple balm for lips - yup... you read that right too. Pretty much this product hydrates whatever body part you put it on.... I use it as my night lip treatment. But you could use it on your nips... if you want :) Whatever floats your boat.


                                      MAKEUP
Yves Saint Laurent Babydoll Mascara- Run to Sephora and get this now! The most perfect looking lashes that you ever did see!! Volume, curl, separation, definition, long wearing and makes them super long! Does everything but the laundry.

URBAN DECAY 24/7 Liner in Smog- They got rid of all the old liners except 10 and added a crap ton more! I have smog for now but I need more. Smog is the perfect brown for the "everyday eye". It gives you the definition without being too dark or too red so your eyes don't look tired! woohoo! Stays all day and easy to blend!



The look above is what I have been doing almost every single day. I'm in a rut and I don't mind. Liner is Smog and the eye shadows are all by MAC. Now I do change the colors but they are all similar.

MAC shadows
Goldmine
Woodwinked
Warming trend
Soba
Corduroy
Antiqued

HAIRCARE
CLAIROL Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo- I use this to keep my blonde hair bright and to get rid of the brassy tones. I wash my hair 2-3 times a week and use this every single time. I love this shampoo, I have tried others but always come back to this one.


What are your favorite products at the moment?
Thanks for spending a few minutes with me!
