Make your Moisturizer at Home!!!!!! Give it a try ;)

Have you always wished to have a soft skin like the one baby's have? Today I found the solution for you. I was able to make a home made cream that makes your skin as soft as baby's skin and the great thing is that all the ingredients are easy to find and within everybody's reach.


You will need the following ingredients:


Equipments: 1 Small container 1 tbs

4 tbs of cooking Coconut Oil ( found easily in any East Indian store)
2, 1/2 tbs of Glycerin ( you can find it at your local drug store - AKA Glycerol )
1 tbs of Argan oil  (Almond or olive oil can be used instead you will get almost the same results)
1/2 tbs of Rose water ( optional ) 
1/2 tbs of  Orange Blossom Water. ( for the scent, you can use any of your favorite essence scented oils)
Equipments: 1 Small container 1 tbs

Put everything in the container and warm it up in the microwave for about 40 to 60 seconds. Leave it for 5 min to cool down "et voila "  it is ready to use. It will stay liquid for a while and that is fine.
Leave it in room temperature if the texture ever gets dense that is fine it happens often if you leave it in a clod place like the fridge or if you don't use your heater at home.

I've been using it for the past two week and my body have become much softer and healthier for the amount of Vitamin E this cream contains. The Orange Blossom and rose Water might form a layer at the bottom of the container, just mix it once it a while to blend it all together.  I really enjoy the scent, the texture and the smoothness it provides me.





The cost of this cream is basically cheaper than any cream you would buy else where the advantage you have is not only that it is cheaper but it will last you longer and makes your skin softer and you actually know all the ingredients that it contains.

Enjoy it ladies and let me know what you think? if you like it please share it with others on FB or Twitter.



Sorry for the delay everyone :)

Almond Oil for your Hair

Yesterday I used almond oil for my hair and the results are great. If you are looking for a soft shiny healthy and smooth looking hair with a frizz free follow these steps.

1. Apply almond oil on wet or damp hair for it is easy to absorb the oil. 
2. Cover your hair with a shower cap to allow the almond oil to be absorbed in your hair
3. Leave it in for at least 30 minutes, for better results leave it over night  ( don't worry it doesn't smell at all)
4. Wash your hair with your regular shampoo ( I use Klorane brand for it uses plants for different types of hairs)
5. condition your hair and towel dry it

Repeat this deep conditioning once a week for a better longterm results

Apply your daily routine facial prep and make up and you are ready for a beautiful day with a radiant clean skin

Welcome

Welcome to Beauty and Soul, I will be talking about my home made recipes for your beauty and your soul. I've always been interested in beauty products but mainly one that you can make at home. I grew up watching my mom mix her own hair masks, or make her own body products using either oils, clays, yogurt, honey or plants. Here I want to share those recipes with everybody hoping they will come in handy for you my friends.

My interest is also in learning and teaching how one can heal his/her own soul.  Though we human being are different one from another, but we function in the same way we all need water and air to survive, we need our organs to live... etc. besides that we also share the same emotions, everybody knows what sad means, lonely means, happy or loved, I believe we all have some feelings that affect us more than others due to the circumstances and the experiences we've been through. It is time you take control of those feelings and understand them better. In this area I would share books or research that have been proven to work and what are their advantages and disadvantages.
