Stress sucks!And in this
day and age where there always seems to be more responsibilities and tasks to
complete and less and less time to complete them, stress is almost
unavoidable.The worst part about being
stressed for me is that when I’m stressed, everything that I’m stressed about
seems to get done so much slower, which just makes me MORE stressed.Vicious cycle much?
This is probably my favorite and most used
ingredient in my facial scrubs, and for good reason.I find that it is the easiest liquid
ingredient to add to otherwise dry scrub ingredients.It is thick enough to prevent other
ingredients, such as sugar, from being too harsh on the skin while scrubbing and
also thick enough to prevent other ingredients from dissolving all together and
losing their texture.Apart from being a
great consistency, honey is a natural antibacterial so it is awesome for
prevention and treatment of acne.In
addition, its anti-aging antioxidant, and moisturizing properties guarantee you
that you skin is left smooth and glowing.Oh and did I mention it tastes and smells great?LOVE IT!

living life and having some pretty cool experiences and I just haven’t had the
mental space to write anything of value.But trust me,
I'm actually REALLY excited about this coming month so I thought I'd share a few of the things and ideas that will be keeping me company throughout the month. Here are my seven Novembers:
Like I said in the article, I had a horrible breakout after
I tried the Oil Cleansing Method and no matter what I did, it completely
refused to clear.And you can imagine
that as an actress, it was especially excruciating.
So about 2 weeks ago, my cousin/bestie Anita Nkatha started
a 1 week water intake challenge dubbed #titasdetoxchallenge.The challenge had us drink at least 3 liters
of water a day and a cup of green tea each evening.Now I definitely hadn’t been drinking 3
litres a day before this challenge and I found that drinking that much water
was well……CHALLENGING. So I developed
little tips and tricks to help me through the week and I am proud to say that
not only did I succeed, but I am planning on making it a long term lifestyle
change. Here they are:
