Beauty Home Remedies

We all love home remedies, am I right?

These are a few that I found to get you through these winter months.

Most of the ingredients for these remedies can be found in your own kitchen.

I'm definitely going to try the Coffee Bean and Cucumber remedy!

 To hydrate dry skin use: Honey

Squeeze a dime-size dollop of honey into palms, blend it with your regular face wash, and use the mixture to give your face a deep facial. For a body wash, use a walnut-size dollop of honey.

Soothe puffy eyes: Chamomile Tea

Steep two chamomile tea bags in warm water, then place in refrigerator to cool. Squeeze excess fluid from tea bags and place over tired eyes for 5 minutes.

Quench parched locks:  Avocado
To make a nutrient-packed hair mask, mash an overripe avocado and mix in an egg yolk and 2 Tbsp. of olive oil. Massage into damp hair, wrap under towel and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse, shampoo and condition your hair as usual.

Smooth and exfoliate:  Coffee Beans

Dip a wet washcloth into leftover coffee grounds and massage into damp skin from neck down to slough off dead skin. Concentrate on cellulite prone areas like thighs to tighten skin.

Revive tired skin: Cucumber

Puree 1 small cucumber in blender, then add 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour. Stir until mixture is thick and pasty. Apply to clean, dry face and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

As simple as that!

I would love to hear about them!

Good Morning Mean Green

This is what I'm having on this lovely morning.. (Looks really tasty doesn't it...)

It's called The Mean Green, sounds ferocious doesn't it?

Okay okay, I lied, I'm not really having the legit 'Mean Green', but I'm having another version of it..

I consider the drink I'm slurping on right now, to be The Sweet Green..

Okay people get your Juicers out, the 'Sweet Green' consist of:

1 Green Apple,

1 Banana,

1 Tomato,

1 Pear,

And some Pomegranate Juice.

Throw in a little ice if you'd like, and you have yourself a smoothie!

(and if your saying 'ugh, eww' to the Tomato, you don't even taste it).

So give it a try!

Now for the actual 'Mean Green' your going to need a little more balls for this one!

Okay people get your Juicers out, the 'Mean Green' consist of:

6 Kale Leaves,

1 Cucumber,

4 Celery Stalks,

2 Green Apples,

1/2 Lemon,

and 1 piece of ginger.

This is what my mum drinks every morning, and watching her face is pretty funny, she always says "mmm, taste really good", (but yet she's making that awful face while she's drinking the first few sips, the kinda awful face when you smell something raunchy in the air..).

Now Remember, you can add whatever ingredients you want, sometimes you have to add stuff just so you can acquire the taste. Not all green drinks are bad tasting, I just prefer mine to be a little more sweet, but like I said, if you have balls, then go for the actual 'Mean Green'. It's unbelievably healthy for you!

Did I mention my mum only sipped on The Mean Green for five days, and lost Six Pounds!!!
