* green beauty *



Good Morning Friends!!

I am all about being "green". If you ask my family and friends they will probably laugh and say, "oh yeah, she wants a Prius to save the planet ..." :) Haha :D I would love to try. :) 

My "tree hugger"attitude is making me change our skin care routine  ( my husband is trying new things, which I love and so thankful for) and of course my beauty routine. 

I've tried a few subscription services, and honestly Petit Vour is so far the most valuable. 
They use vegan, cruelty-free and luxurious products. I've received five boxes so far and I am so impressed. 

You get four products: skincare +makeup + bath/body + hair/nails












The July box:  1. AILA  2. Luxe de Mer  3. Routine  4. Nubian Heritage  


I am extremely satisfied with my boxes, the sizes of the products are very reasonable, with some full size ones. It usually take me about a month to finish the products, so you can decide if you're liking them or not. 

I've purchased quite a few full size products from these boxes. Juice beauty is one of my favorites and I use their CC cream every day and I absolutely love it. The Konjac Sponge Co. facial sponge is amazing, I feel like I am having a facial every time I use it.      ( Psst.. It removed my waterproof mascara after my friends wedding!! I did need the waterproof factor <3 ) 



I cannot be more excited about the August Petit Vour box, and now that I've been trying out these products for a while I can report back how they improved my skin without harming animals and my body. 

Let's save our animals together <3 

Be yourself, be happy, be creative,

* wake up call *

I've been experimenting with some healthy breakfast options and I thought i'd share them with you because they turned out amazing!
So my new favorite breakfast is the famous acai bowl.

How I make it?

My main ingredients are acai berries and frozen bananas.
( I get my acai berries from Costco )
- use a blender ( I have a NutriBullet )
Spice it up 
- avocado + cocoa powder + dates
- berries + shredded coconut
- chia seeds
- hemp seeds
- almonds
- almond butter
- granola
- cinnamon

These are just a few ingredients I've tried. Do your experiment, get on Pinterest and enjoy!





Be yourself, be happy, be creative ,

* drink it up *



You have to make this tea!It tastes amazing and it has great ingredients for your body. 

You'll need: 
* a lemon
* ginger 
* honey 
* water 

( I usually use a half of a lemon, it depends how much ginger I use but its pretty much half of my thumb, so you don't need a lot.
Make sure you wait for your water to cool down a little before you add your honey and lemon juice. ) 






*peel your ginger and grade it in a cup/mug/mason jar :)*
/Jamie Oliver has a great video on how to peel ginger on Youtube/

*pour freshly boiled water over it*
wait for it to cool down a bit before you add the lemon juice and honey 


Et viola, you made a tea!
Enjoy!

Be yourself, be happy, be creative,

* unique marshmallow sticks *


It's getting really cold here in South Carolina so go ahead and take those marshmallows, graham crackers, pretty blankets out and let's have an awesome campfire with your friends and family.

I love to make a big deal out of everything so I thought I could make a few pretty "marshmallow sticks" for our next campfire-y night. 

You'll need: 
*sticks 
*knife
*paint ( color of your choice )
*glitter 
*yarn /twine
*paintbrush 



 1. Use your knife. Try to "shave" your stick. ( just like in the old days when we didn't have pencil sharpeners :) )
2. Paint some easy patterns on the bottom half of your stick. 

   3. If you want some glitter, do not wait for the paint to dry, go ahead and poor some on it! 

4. You can even personalize them, by painting names on them.


5. Don't be shy! Use that glitter! :)

Ta da!!





Turn your phones off and spend some time with your family and friends! Make something special and enjoy some s'mores!

I hope you had/having a lovely week! 

Be yourself, be happy, be creative,
