DIY Pumpkin Spice Exfoliating Scrub

Everywhere you look nowadays, you see pumpkins! And here is no different…I just love the fall when you have an excuse to eat and drink everything pumpkin! So far, I ve made pumpkin muffins, pumpkin smoothies, and pumpkin soup to name a few! There s just something so yummy about pumpkin and it s so healthy! It s high in zinc and vitamins A and C. You want to know something weird? I didn t eat any pumpkin until I was in my 20s. I don t know why…my mom just never served it and pumpkin pie was never a staple at holiday time. When I began eating healthy, pumpkin presented itself to me in so many delicious grain-free, Paleo recipes and I jumped right in! This led me to believe that since pumpkin is such a superfood internally…it would be wonderful for the skin! I know one of my favorite skincare lines, Eminence, features pumpkin prominently. For us DIYers, I wanted to come up with an easy and luscious pumpkin exfoliating scrub so we can enjoy the fruits of fall. Scrub is one of the ea

Natural Perfume Review: Pour le Monde Fragrances

Did you see After Earth? I d heard it had received bad reviews, so I wasn t in too big of a rush to watch it, although I usually hurry to catch Will Smith movies. I waited a bit before I finally saw it and I actually really liked it! Will Smith doesn t disappoint. It wasn t like his normal movies, full of him supplying all the action. It was primarily starring his son, Jaden. Another thing about the movie that was very different was the message. It actually had one! If you ve seen it, did you figure it out? I won t be a spoiler, but it had something to do with fear and how we interpret it. In the film, Smith plays a ranger who can ghost or become invisible to alien monsters bred to kill humans. The aliens were blind so the only way they could find a human was to smell their fear. When people are afraid, their bodies excrete pheromones. Smith s character, however, was not fearful and could extinguish the alien monster without being seen (or actually smelled.) photo courtesy of pherazon

What is a Lady Cup and Why Do You Need One?

What is a lady cup and why do you need one? The other day my friend and I went to have manis and pedis together…it was a girl s day out sorta thing. I had just lent her a suitcase for an upcoming trip and she told me I had left something in there. Quite unceremoniously, she slapped a few maxi pads on the table in front of us. I had to laugh because whenever I travel, I am sure to pack extra pads just in case. This time however, I told her to keep them as I don t use them anymore. This in turn led to a lengthy, if somewhat weird conversation with my friend and the lady also sitting there drying her nails. This post might get a bit…messy at times…so beware! Hehehe So why don t I use pads (or tampons, for that matter) anymore? No, I m not going through early menopause but have discovered a much better way to handle those um..feminine needs. I have discovered the lady cup…a.k.a. the menstrual cup…a.k.a the Diva cup…a.k.a…you get the idea. Have you heard of these before? They
