The winter months are just peeking around the corner , and personally I do not like the winter but I do look forward to the holidays to come Halloween , ThanksGiving oh and Christmas , oooh Boy it's such a festive time especially for my M4 ( my babies ) . I have to say between these crazy weather days here in NY and the change in tempature every other day , my skin is taking a beating. But , thank GOD I have my BROWN SUGAH ( sugar ) , this is the remedy for all flaky not so sexy skin.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser @ www.sephora.com
I love this it's light , foamy and it smells fantastic and it does the job , but when I want to make it work like an exfoliater I just add a pinch of Brown Sugar to my palm of my hand , mix it with my cleanser and voila , instant magic to my skin. This leaves my skin soft , supple and feeling Oh , so Clean.
2 : Make your OWN :
What you need :
Olive Oil , Brown Sugar and Lemon Juice.
Mix equal parts of each and depending on what part of your body , if your using it for all over your body make a 1/2 cup mixture . This is wonderful , to remove all the dead skin cells that can cover your skin , and once they are gone they reveal glowing radiant skin. How cool is that with the simple things in life and cheap tooo =0
3: Brown Sugar Lip Scrub :
Take 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of BS , mix into a paste and apply to lips , rubbing in circular motion for at least 1 minute and remove with a warm washcloth. You will see the most luscious lips ever minus any chemicals.
I am not saying that after using this scrub it is going to make your lips look as the picture above , but it will definitely make them appear softer and fuller.
Hope this helps , sometimes it's much better to use natural , organic products that you can actually make yourself straight out of your cucina ( kitchen ) than to buy a $25.00 Scrub , save those pennies for a rainy day =)

Get the Glow !!!!
WATERMELON MASQUE for GLOWING SKIN
This is a beauty treatment that utilizes the skin of a watermelon to give your skin a radiant and glowing effect. I have tried this a handful of times and I can tell you that it does work. This summer we got watermelon only a couple of times and I think I did it twice , but I have to say that it was well worth it. It's also a fantastic treat to for skin that has been sunburned.
What you need : The white part of the skin of a watermelon. Cut out white part and grind with grater or mixer.
Add
1 tbsp of flour
1tbsp of honey .
This will make it thick and pasty . On a clean face attach your watermelon pack and wait at least 15 minutes and then wash off. You will have smooth , bright , radiant glowing skin because it provides your skin with moisture.
TRY IT !!!!
You'll love it and your skin will thank you tooo !!!!
PS - IT'S GREAT FOR ALL SKIN TYPES AS WELL !!!!

Now adays we are all going GREEN and quite frankly you can GREEN-IFY your Beauti regimen just by making your own facials , scrubs , masques and lotions and potions straight from your CUCINA ( that's kitchen in italian ) . You cannot imagine the most amazing creams and exfoilaters you can make on your own. Here I am going to teach you all about GREEN-IFYING your Beauty Style.
Beauti TIP # 1 : I read this somewhere that taking regular gool 'ol Saline Solution tightens up your pores . YES , you read correctly , I could not believe this so , thank god I already wear contacts didn't have to go and purchase a new bottle which they can be quite pricey. Depending on the brand. I have Baush and Lomb for Sensitive Eyes . So all you have to do is put the bottle in the refrigerator ( don't forget that it's in there ) also keep them separate the one you use for your eyes and the one you use for your face .
Keep saline solution cool in fridge , wet cotton pads and apply to see the effect to reduce pores. Pimples are reduced at night because saline solution wipes out germs on your skin. I was skeptical but I am a believer now. I have always had good skin but after 4 pregnancies my skin has definitely changed , just a little more oilier but that's a good thing less wrinkles later on , lol .... You always have to turn a negative into a positive =) As I was saying my skin's texture and overall appearance looks 100 x's better since having my baby girl 6 months ago. I will post pictures soon. I have done away with my skin toner's for a bit and give this a try for the next month or so and see the difference until then , stay tune for another Organic Beauti Post =)
Much Love ,
