crying and laughing

I don't know why but this commercial makes me cry with out fail!

I'm a sucker for animals, then you decide to play sad music. Gone, game over.

If you need a good laugh after that then this one is for you!

Enjoy! 

∞happy sunday!

Fresh face

As a New Years resolution I have been wanting/trying to live a healthier life style.

When people say they want to live a healthy life style, most of them start with exercising, eating a balanced diet, getting the right amount of sleep each night and distressing their life.

All if these are essential to achieving your goal. For me however I'm also doing my makeup and beauty collection. Making sure its not filled with harsh chemicals.

Along with eating more fruits and veggies, I keep track of what I'm using and how its going to effect me and the environment. 

I'm not saying go out and spend a crap load of money to get the best organic and natural products. Start out little and build up to where you want to be. 

I'm starting with using up all the shampoos and conditioners I have instead of throwing them out with I get something new. I don't know how many times I have bought new shampoo and conditioner when I still had 1/4 left of the old stuff. Throwing it out cause I have something newer and better. Just use it up. Then make sure what your getting is what you want.  Do your research, look at the review, see what other people are saying about it. See if there is a cheaper natural or organic product that suits you.

Here are some companies that I have used and heard good things about.

juice beauty is a organic beauty company. They have makeup, skincare and haircare. 

Actress and Author Alicia Silverstone, (from Clueless)

has a book "The Kind Diet" and website The Kind Life, (go here to check it out). They are both fantastic. She has a skin care and makeup line with Juice Beauty and Makeup brushes with Eco Tools.

Ecotools is a beauty company that uses recycled material to make their brushes, bags and other goodies.

Their brushes are very good quality and well priced! I get mine at Walgreens.

Physicians Formula is a makeup company that makes sure all their products are hypoallergenic. They have a line Organic Wear that is 100% natural.

YES to is a natural skin and hair care products. They use a different organic fruits and vegetables.

They have YES to carrots, blueberries, cucumbers, tomatoes and grapefruit.

When changing up your products and your body doesn't react well then stop using it. For example deodorant. If your using a natural deodorant and your starting to smell then you should use something else. 

Thanks for staying to the end. I will be back with more posts on what I find and how things work out for me.

clean makeup brushes

Last night I gave my brushes a good (much needed) cleaning.

here are the steps I used to make sure all the dust and bacteria is all gone!

∞baby shampoo 

yes, yes, MAC sells brush cleaner but its so expensive when baby shampoo works and is much cheaper!

∞warm water

∞bowl

Before

I use one bowl of water to clean all the brushes.

I start out with the brushes that haven't been used or the less dirty ones.

You don't want to start out with the dirties ones, then your water is filthy. You also don't need to replace the water as ofter or at all.

When rinsing the brushes make sure the water runs clean before you set them out to dry.

set on a clean towel and let dry over night.

∞dont forget to clean the holders also!
