Avocado MASK

We always have some sort of a skin problem, and when one goes away the other one pops right up. Even though there are many facial masks and scrubs out there, there should be some natural ones we could do at home that doesn't contain any chemicals. Here is my latest must do Avocado mask:

You'll need:

1/2 Ripe Avocado (add the other half in a blender with milk and sugar for a healthy juice)

1 Tbsp Honey

1 Tbsp Yogurt

Preparation:

1. Mash the Avocado with a fork

2. Mix in the yogurt and honey

3. Spread it all over your face(except your eyes) and relax for 15 minutes

Facts:

the most important element of avocado is that it is a good source of potassium, which is known as the youth mineral, so whether you are eating avocados or making a face mask, they can help your skin maintain its healthy and beautiful glow.

Honey has the ability to kill germs on the skin and can reduce swelling and inflammation, giving the skin a taught and youthful appearance.

Yogurt also contains lactic acid, which soothes and softens the skin while tightening wrinkles and refining pores.

Its Not Just Another Product

if you think that i'm introducing something new, then i'm not. Its not all about whats in the box, its about the box itself. How many times did you bought a piece of candy, or an eyeshadow case just for its packaging? exactly!, packaging sometimes intrigues me more than the product itself, and unfortunately the best packaging comes on wine bottles, yet the best packaging i've seen was in japan,everything is well packaged even individual apples and chewing gum, NEATness

& better yet, i've gathered around my favorite picks,

Olivier & Co.

Vintage looking chocolate packaging for Olive & Sinclair Chocolate

Simple bi-colored packaging for Munio home products

wood and black with straight forward pictures by John Larigakis

by Fuego

It reminds me of bed sheets just feel like huging it by Voice

A Fall pallet packaging for BUTA'I

Surprisingly its honey packaging for Babees

Dont you envy that dog? by Michael Osborne

Is there any packaging you passed by and cant forget how hideous it is?

Prettiness In A Bottle

Fragrances are my mood creators, or often expose my feelings, for mornings usually i put on a floral jasminey scent, or if i was going out for a dinner, wedding, or anything special at night i prefer to put on spicy, strong, somewhat classic . Yet my favorite perfumes are woody florals, but never fruity.

MUSC RAVAGEUR by Fredric Malle- ''its explosive departure of bergamot, tangerine and cinnamon is set against a lusty backdrop of vanilla, musk and amber''

Five O'Clock by Serge Lutens- its tea bergmot honey amber all together, weird palete of scnets yet can be wron all day(new addition to my collection)

Fleurs d'Oranger by Serge Lutens- Strong Jasmine with hints of musk and orange yet not orange-y at all,

White Patchouli by TOM FORD- Thats the best perfume that describes my taste, u can smell the woodenness of patchouli with the breezy scent of bergamot and jasmine at the end.

White Suede by TOM FORD- Lilly of the valley with some smokey background almost like light scent of bukoor

Cinnabar by Estee Lauder- Now thats a desirable toxic, its extremely strong, yet creates wonders, one of the best works of Estee lauder, one spray goes a long way ,its spicy with clove and orange hits yet not orange-y the orange kind of blends in to create a new feeling with all the other spices,

Whats your Favorite Scent?

Do brand names or certain ADS usually effect the decision of you buying the scent?
