So I am excited!!! I have been a vendor at several events and I plan to be at several more in the next few weeks. I will be demonstrating flexi clips for the hair so that you can have an amazing and quick hairstyle. I will also be talking about how I can help families work towards a more natural lifestyle with some quick, easy, inexpensive DIY swaps for some of their commonly used household items. Drop by and see me!!! I also plan to post upcoming classes--lots of DIY's in the works!!!

I am horrible about procrastinating. I mean, look how long of a time there is between posts!!! One of the things I have been wanting to do for a long time is to use essential oils for my facial care. But I haven't done it yet..... Why? I have no good excuse. I researched what I wanted to use (this is an AWESOME blog--http://www.overthrowmartha.com/2015/02/diy-beauty-basics-101.html). I even ordered the essential oils I wanted to use--I'm thinking elemi, chamomile, geranium, lavender, and even a little carrot seed oil. That is the one great thing about Essential Rewards with Young Living. I know I will be making an order every month, so I can go ahead and thing about what DIY projects I want to do. I just never got the base ingredients! My sweet husband even bought me a gift card to amazon but I still haven't sat down and figured out which carrier oil supplier, etc--way too many choices! Anyway, back to the task on hand. I will order the supplies from amazon TODAY!!!! I want and need to get this started! I have never had good skin. I've always had breakouts and oily skin. I finally discovered Wexler products that I purchased at Bath and Body Works that made my not so young face look and feel so much better! But then they stopped working as well and I hated to pay the high price for them. Something else that I discovered during this process--my oily and breakout prone skin doesn't necessarily need the stuff for acne. It just seemed to dry out my skin. The universal cleanser seemed to work pretty well for me. But I ran out. And I don't like to shop. And you can use whatever excuse you want to for me. I haven't been using a regular cleanser or moisturizer for a long time. And you know what? My face is NOT as oily as it used to be. I guess by not stripping the natural oils, my body has adjusted well. And if I ever use a regular cleanser (especially those for acne), it is way too harsh for my skin. I still have black heads. I still have wrinkles. I still get occasional pimples, but nothing like I used to! But I do need something to protect my skin and hopefully make it look a little younger. So off to amazon to order a few supplies. I'll let you know how it turns out for me!
