Winter Beauty: Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice...


Want to know a secret? I use olive oil in everything and on everything. Including my skin. I add a few drops of olive oil to my moisturizer on a daily basis, regardless of the season, but in the Winter my skin really needs an escape from the drying air, so I came up with this scrub. First of all, it smells delicious - kind of like a snickerdoodle! The best thing though is that the brown sugar will exfoliate your skin while the olive oil moisturizes. Honey is a natural antiseptic and moisturizer as well. Adding a little sprinkling of ground cinnamon and nutmeg helps with circulation, and just smells extra nice! No measurements are needed, just keep going until the texture is to your liking :)

P.S. This would make a great gift!

Happy Holidays!

The Midas Touch: Olive Oil and Tom's of Maine!

I've used olive oil as a moisturizer since I was a young girl, so when I saw that Tom's of Maine had made a soap containing this liquid gold, I just knew I had to try it. If you haven't tried it yet, you must, it is divine! It keeps your skin soft and supple, it is perfect for shaving, and even gentle enough for the face. It feels luxurious on the skin, and after you rinse your face you can really feel the added moisture. I am not one for fancy creams and expensive serums, so the fact that I can maintain beautiful skin in a natural way for less than $5.00 is a beautiful thing. There you have it, my one and only skincare secret! That, and a glass of red wine a day ;)
