Do You Scrub?

Posted by: liza on June 30th, 2010 in beauty tips

I do. I’m actually using a sea-salt scrub mixed with milk. Pretty interesting, huh? Well, you don’t need to have a bath tub to do this. Our skin needs exfoliation and scrubbing helps a lot to remove that dead skin to release our natural glow. I don’t scrub everyday as it may lead my skin to dryness. I don’t also scrub when I know that I have to go out and be exposed under the sun.

I bought my sea-salt scrub from the grocery for 100 Pesos. It’s a 200 ML bottle filled with salt mixed with milk. I’d say that it’s pretty cheap but I’m wrong. Only after I bought it, I realized that the ingredients of this scrub is in our kitchen. So I just thought that this would be my first and last time to buy my salt scrub from the market.

There are actually different ingredients for scrubs. As for me, my favorite is the sea-salt scrub with milk as it can effectively remove my dead skin at the same time makes my skin smooth. If you are planning to buy one like what I did, please take a look at these steps first on how to make your very own salt scrubs at fraction of the cost sold in the market.

Ingredients:

1 cup Sea salt

1/2 cup oil

essential oils/milk

How to make your own salt scrub?

Add the oil on sea salt, mixing it with a spoon or wooden stick in a bowl. The mix should be moist enough to hold together. Drop essential oils of your choice or milk. Make sure that you do not over oily the mix. Then put in a jar or container with lid for storage and it’s ready to use.

Remember that you can always choose your essential oils.

lavender – to make you feel relax.

lemongrass – to refresh you

rosemary – to stimulate you.

Is that easy? Remember, not all beauty products should be bought from the grocery.  More often than not, we are just paying for the brand name. Sometimes, we just need to visit and explore our kitchen, extend our horizons to see the available products that we can use in keeping our skin smooth and healthy. =P

The Glass Shoes of Cinderella

It all started when I learned about Cinderella and her story. I grew up watching cartoon movies and Cinderella is one of my favorites. Since I saw her glass shoes, I started wanting it. Until now, I’m still looking for something like her shoes but unfortunately I haven’t find anything. Anyone who has an idea how to find one? I would like to wear it on my wedding day. =)

If you are wondering how it looks like… I gathered some images online

A Heartfelt Friday Featuring the Song, Could This Be Love

Posted by: liza on June 24th, 2010 in music

I would always remember this song for two of my dearest friends. They are my highschool friends and after 10 long years, they realized that they have hidden feelings for each other. If it’s not for Facebook, they will never get the chance to reveal that feelings they’ve been hiding for 10 years.

But destiny has played unfair for them. My girl friend is already married and has two children. The guy is still a bachelor. Thus, the relationship did not pursue. Guys, this song is for you. Always remember that I will always be the #1 fan of your love team. =)

“Could This Be Love” Lyrics by Seduction

Staring through the windows of time
Drying off the last year of our bind
Was it real or just a mirage
Love has it’s way of making you blind
I stare deep in to your heart and soul
And feel what any woman would want
Why did I run? Why did I hide?
Because the memory just bleeds on and on

Time goes on and (the feelings stay strong)
Memories laugh and play with my heart
(like thunder does in a rainstorm)

Tell me is it real or just a mirage
I ask myself…

Could this be love
Or just a memory
Of the two of us together
Lifetime friends forever
You and me a unity
Of friendship and love

Could this be love
Could this be love
Of the two of us together
Lifetime friends forever
You and me a unity
Of friendship and love

As we moved our separate ways (that day)
Tears ran down my face (and I asked myself)
Was I just too weak to face the truth
That love is what I have for you
You’re someone special deep down inside
Your love is true, why do I hide?
Why did I run? Why did I hide?
Because the memories bleed on and on

Time goes on and the feeling stays strong
This word called love- are you the one? (That I want)
Is this real or just a mirage
I ask myself

Could this be love
Or just a memory
Of the two of us together
Lifetime friends forever
You and me a unity
(Of friendship and love)

Could this be love
Could this be love
Of the two of us together
Lifetime friends forever
You and me a unity
Of friendship and love (repeat)

I wanna know
Could this be love
I wanna know I wanna know
I wanna know know know know
Could this be love
Could this be love
