Directions: Mix the ripe banana with the tbsp. of honey, then add a couple drops of orange or lemon juice (from the fruits themselves, not store bought fruit juices). Mix together then apply and leave on for about 15 minutes, then rinse with cold water.

♡ Benefits: Moisturizing, perfect for dry skin. Ingredients:  - ½ a very ripe avocado - 2 tablespoons honey - ½ teaspoon coconut oil Directions: Mash or puree the avocado until it’s smooth and creamy, and then blend in the rest of the ingredients. Apply to your face, avoiding your eyes, and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Wipe your skin clean with a damp, warm cloth, or rinse your face with warm water in the shower.

♡ Benefits: Natural exfoliate affect, acne treatment, perfect for rough, acne prone skin. Ingredients: - 1/3 cup instant oatmeal - ½ cup hot water - 1 tablespoon honey - 1-2 tablespoons plain, unsweetened yogurt Directions: Add the water to your oatmeal and stir for a few minutes until it’s plumped up nicely. Add the honey and yogurt, and put through a blender to smooth and combine it really well. Slather this all over your face, leave on for 10 minutes or so, and then wash with warm water. Pat dry.

~ This mask can also be used on eczema patches on other parts of your body, such as inner arms, the backs of your knees, your neck, etc. for areas other than your face, you can leave the treatment on for a bit longer before washing it off.

When you rinse it off, massage your face gently to exfoliate as well. If there’s any mask left over after you wash your face with it, add a bit of water to it and use it as a scrub for the backs of your arms and any other body part that could do with some smoothing.

♡ Benefits: Perfect for oily, acne prone skin, brightens complexion. Ingredients: - ¼ cup mashed strawberries - 2 tablespoons lemon juice - 1 tablespoon yogurt - 1 tablespoon honey Directions: Mash all of the ingredients together, but do not puree in a blender: you want this to be spreadable, not a liquid.

Rinse with cool-to-warm water, but do not use soap, and pat dry gently. Repeat twice a week for best results.

DIY spa day🌹

1.prepare your space: make sure your room and bathroom are clean and smell nice and change your bedsheets. light some candles. if you have a diffuser put in fennel oil or lavender oil. super calming.

2.boil some water in a pot to use as a steam mask.

3.fill the tub with water, add a handfull of epsom salt, a few drops of your prefered essential oil, a bath bomb/bubbles if you like. if you wanna go the extra mile…add some rose petals. you can get some cheap bouquets at supermarkets.

4.put on a hair mask and wrap your hair in a bun. If you don’t have one you can use conditioner instead or any oil…I have tried them all and my favourite is apricot oil.

5.remove any nail polish you have on.

6.cleanse your face with your cleanser, then exfoliate, put your face above the water pot for about ten mins and put on a clay mask or any other purifying mask of your liking.

7.if you have hydrogel eye masks put them on, if not you can use thin potato slices..they work wonders.

8.prepare a relaxing beverage…herbal tea…wine…whiskey..whatever you like.

9..soak in the bath for as long as you like.

10. exfoliate using your own diy scrub - sugar and oil. 

11.lounge for hours in your towel and beverege while listening to music.

12.rub lotion or oil all over yourself and wear comfortable clothes or be comfortabelly completly naked. whatever you prefer.

13.after washing off the purifying mask i really recommend hydrating the skin with a hysrating sheet mask or raw honey.

14. DIY Mani-Pedi : soak your feet in water and a cup of vinegar for 30 minutes. while you do that file your nails and cut your cuticles then apply olive oil to them and massage them. wash your feet and file them with a pumice stone. file your toenails and apply foot cream. and paint your nails if you want. if your toenails are dry apply some olive oil and shea butter to the heels, wrap them in seran wrap and wear 2 pairs of socks and you will wake up with baby soft feet.

*i also did the korean baby foot peel mask and if you guys want ill make a post about my suprising experience.

15.apply toner to your face and follow with rosehip oil. massage your skin starting from the forhead to the neck. there are so many videos abot face massage on youtube. it’s so amazing, you’ll feel great and your ski will glow.

16.apply ½ castor oil ½ olive oil to your eyelashes and lips.

17.apply lotion to your hands.

18.just lounge and do whatever relaxes you and makes youhappy. I personally like to drink sparkling wine and reading vogue or watching an old film.

19. make sure you are hydrated and drink lots of H2O and well nourished and  eating well and getting all your vitamins and minerals. 

20.try to relax while listening to white noise or your favourite sound, like rain, eind, fireplace crackle, ticking clock…or any ASMR. hair brushing ASMR is my guity pleasure.

21. enjoy yourself, praise yourself. indulge. love your body and soul. no matter what you do just make sure it feels good.

Tub Tea and Bath Soaks 

WARNING: These recommendations and recipes are not approved for young children or pregnant and/or nursing mothers. Please also take any allergies you have into consideration!  

When taking a bath, many people think of relaxation - lighting candles to create a soft glow, a glass of wine in hand and perhaps some soothing music playing in the background. However, baths can be so much more than relaxing: they can also be nourishing to your body. 

Using the right combination of ingredients, a bath can reduce inflammation, heal wounds, energize your mind or calm you down. Here are a list of common ‘goals’ for healing baths and the herbs (dry or fresh) you can use to successfully create them: 

Soothing: Calendula petals, lemon balm, eucalyptus leaves, Celtic sea salt

Relaxing: Rose petals, lavender leaves, thyme, beebalm, bay leaf, jasmine, white sage, epsom salt 

Skin softening: Chamomile, linden, rose petals, chickweed, calendula flowers, ground almonds, rolled oats 

Stimulation/Energizing: Mint leaves (peppermint, wintergreen), lemongrass, eucalyptus leaves, rosemary, sea salt 

Anti-inflammatory/Pain-relief: Calendula, lemon balm, plantain, rose petals, yarrow, neem, Epsom salt, sea salt 

Common Combinations 

I highly recommend using a cheesecloth or cloth/paper tea bag for baths involving dried herbs to minimize mess and prevent damage to your drain. 

Basic Salt Bath: 

¼ to ½ cup herb mixture (I like using 2-3 different types) 

¼ to ½ cup Epsom or sea salt 

Milk + Honey Bath: 

2 cups powdered milk (any kind) 

1 cup honey 

Pain-relief Oatmeal Bath: 

1 cup very finely ground oatmeal (or oat flour) 

2 tbsp each: calendula petals, neem, plantain
