Positive Wednesdays-Unconditional Love

Image
Today's Positive Wednesday will be a little personal (actually a lot-personal).  I have known my soul mate for years. However, i was unable to truly love this person because i did not love and accepted myself. Today, we are finally on our journey towards planning a life together after approximately six years. With this in mind, today's Positive Wednesdays is about self love and self acceptance. It is time to love yourself unconditionally!!!! I was able to accept myself after coming to this realization. It does not matter the mistakes you have made (we have all made many). It does not matter imperfections you might have (no body is perfect). It is never too late to forgive or love yourself. I also thought about the positive aspects of myself. This is the moment for you to self assess yourself. At this very moment, you may be saying to yourself that you have any number of admirable qualities.  You are a loyal friend, a caring person, someone who is smart, dependable, fun

Affordable Makeup Remover Recipe

I got this idea because I have been searching the pharmacy here for an affordable makeup remover and i couldn't find one. So this gave birth to the DIY Makeup Remover. DIY Makeup Remover Here are some suggestions for DIY remover. 1. Combine cucumber juice with a few drops of baby oil to remove dirt and makeup. 2. Mix olive oil and baby oil to remove mascara. 3. Rub lemon peel on oily skin to remove oily and rejuvenate skin. 4. Rinse your face every night with raw milk to remove any makeup residue and oil. 5.

Use baby shampoo on a cotton ball to remove waterproof mascara.   resource site: www.sheknows.com  Please check out last week's DIY Sundays

Raising an Inter-racial Child

At home   I never thought i would be writing a post about this, but i could not get the thought out of my mind. First of all, i am the proud mommy of a 4 year old girl. You will notice that there aren't any pics of my daughter anywhere on this blog. I have made the decision not the place any, except for this post. To be honest i am ok with putting myself out there on the World Wide Web but i am very tentative to put her out there as well.(It seems weird, i know but this is my view on the topic. This does not mean i bash parents who post pics of their kids. Power to them i say.)  As you can see from the pics that i have placed around my blog, i am black. However, my daughter is what i love to call a melting pot.  For my family race was never an issue, that would have been ridiculous seeing that my entire family was a melting pot. So, it was quite natural for me growing up in such a family and for most Jamaicans this is the norm. Therefore, when my daughter was born i did not

How to do a Facial at Home

Last week i was experiencing the Sunday blues; well this week i have decided to combat the blues with a series entitled DIY (Do It Yourself) Sundays. This series is inspired my own DIY routines that i often do on Sundays. I will share the products i use along with my actual routine. (These products have been purchased with my own money).     This Sunday is all about  the DIY Facial!!!!  First of all, i have normal skin with a oily t-zone. One might say i have a combination skin type. The products that i use to do my facial are products i have used for about 10 years (you can call my old faithful). However, from time to time i do change or mix and match products. But for the most part, i have stayed true to the St. Ives line. I just absolutely love their products. Products I used: Clean and Clear Foaming Facial Cleaner Conair Facial Sauna  St. Ives Apricot Scrub St. Ives Firming Mask Clean and Clear Astringent St Ives Collagen Although i have used these p
