La Bella Vita


Today is a BEAUTIFUL day. It was foggy in the morning, sunny in the afternoon. Work went by nice & quick and since I took tomorrow off, today was my Friday. I got home really exhausted and hungry though so I had some dinner and chilled with my book. My dad's coming tomorrow insha'Allah and N. the following week insha'Allah so I decided today was a good day to experiment with some natural beauty recipes. My hair is shiny and my skin is soft and glowing- and I didn't even use any synthesized chemicals! Read on for the recipes!

Hair Mask
I mixed honey, one whole egg, olive oil, some lemon juice, coconut oil, and a banana in a bowl. I beat everything together and worked it through my hair- I highly recommend doing this while you are sitting in the bathtub. Leave the mixture on for an hour before washing thoroughly out!

Face Scrub:
I mixed some white sugar and some baking soda in my palm and then scrubbed all over my face in slow, small circles. I left the scrub on for a couple minutes before rinsing off with warm water and immediately slathering on my homemade face mask.

Face Mask:
I mixed a little turmeric powder with a banana, some honey, and evaporated milk. Blend well then rub all over your face and neck. Leave on for 10-20 minutes, depending on how fair you are or else the turmeric will turn you orange!!

I soaked in a warm bath with some evaporated milk while the hair and face masks penetrated. Wash your hair and scrub yourself with a loofah and your favorite soap and tah dah! You will emerge gorgeous! :)
