HOW TO EMBRACE YOUR CURVES.

At one point in life or the other, we have all been self-conscious about how we look and how others perceive us. Hollywood has created this ridiculous stereotype that for you to be viewed as sexy, you have to fit a particular body type. I have started several workout programs after watching Beyoncé’ singing or watching a movie where the actress looked for ridiculously hot. Those programs did not last long because I was trying to look like someone else. Everybody is unique, just because you have curves does not mean you are unhealthy. I have been with people who I admire because they workout, they eat a healthy balanced diet but they also do not deny themselves that treat one’s in a while. They have curves, and they are proud of them because they are living a full, well-balanced life. Getting to the point where you accept yourself for who you are and live your best life is hard, but we are here to help with that. We came up with several tips to help you embrace your curves. ...

DIY FACE MASKS

-



I do not have the best skin; it keeps breaking up in acne and has a lot of black spots.
As I am trying to fix my face; with natural ingredients that will not affect my skin but have great nutrients; I thought why not share them with you.
Remember to know your allergies and do not use anything that will give you an attack or hives.
Homemade face masks cleanse the skin, nourish it and rejuvenate it in the best possible way to make it brighter. They can draw out impurities and oil, soothe aggravated or inflamed skin and also hydrate dry or overtired skin.
This face masks are made with things that can be found at home in your pantry or shelves.

First let us look at the benefits of using natural face masks compared to store bought:

  •          They are cheaper and very easy to make usually you just have to mix a bunch of stuff together.
  •          You get control of what you put in the face masks this allows you to tailor the face mask to suit your exact skin type and personal preference.
  •          Convenient and can be used anywhere so it never runs out and you can use it at anytime even in the middle of the night.

Points to remember when using face masks made at home:

  • Apply some on your neck to help with aging.
  • Apply a little bit in a small area of the skin to watch how it reacts to your skin before you apply it on your face.
  • If at any point you start feeling a burning sensation wash it off immediately.

Before applying a face mask take a warm shower or steam your face, this is to open the pores.
This is how steaming is done:
  • Boil a pot of water, and then transfer it to a large bowl.
  • Let it cool for about 1-2 minutes then when it is not too hot place your face over the bowl.
  •   Cover your head and the bowl with a towel for about 5 to 10 minutes.



Remember to practice with different ingredients and you will find one that works really well for you with time.
Meanwhile here are a few recipes to start you off.

Do It Yourself TO SUCCESS. The saying goes that if you want something done right, you better do it yourself yet successful people have come to learn that if you want it done right delegate. The trick is in finding a balance between doing it yourself and delegating duties. I still believe that when you want to make it, especially at the beginning of your business the trick is to do it yourself. By doing it yourself, you get to learn new stuff and know your business inside out. You get to shape your company’s foundation just the way you want it to be. That way you determine how your success will look like in future. Creative people understand this more than anyone else.

Otherwise, if you want it done right then, you have to give very detailed instructions. Woe unto you if the artisan cannot read or visualize. When you do it yourse...
