Hey guys.

I recently discovered…… blogger. I have a whole new crazy layout that I’m setting up.. and because of this there will be much more in-depth tutorials on all skin, lip and and haircare. Not sure if I’ll keep this tumblr up and running, it might be too much to keep updated all together. We shall see tho. This is just a heads up for everyone who is following/re-blogging my posts.

I’ll post the new URL on here as soon as I get everything right where I want it.

You guys can also follow my personal tumblr if you want !

Thanks,

Fruits that are suitable for pets

One thing you have to know is…. they are NOT humans so you CANNOT feed them as if they are humans. You have to feed them based on their size.

If I’m eating a a banana, I’ll rip off a tiny chunk to give to my dog. He is only 11lbs.

Here’s a small list of fruits that are good for your pets… in moderation of course:

Apple - Calms the digestive system
Banana - Add acidophilus bacteria to bowels in small amounts only
Black Berries - Rich in iron
Cherries - Rich in iron
Kiwis - Highly rich in vitamin C
Melons - Contains naturally purified water, helps clean wastage that is present in the kidneys
Papaya - Contains vitamin A, C and E; calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Helps soothe a stomach
Peaches - Beneficial for the kidneys.

Coffee and Cocoa Facial Mask

This is a great mask for waking up dull skin.

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons of finely ground coffee or espresso
4 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
8 tablespoons of a dairy product (choose between: whole milk, heavy cream, yogurt, coconut milk, or almond milk.) Use less dairy for a thicker paste. Yogurt is perfect if you have dry skin and make sure it’s unflavored.
2 tablespoons of honey or lemon juice if you have oily skin

What to do ?

Mix the ground coffee and cocoa powder in a bowl.
Add the dairy product and stir until it becomes a paste
Stir in honey (works better if you warm it up first)
Apply the paste to your clean face and let dry
Wet a washcloth and press it on your face to loosen the mask then simply rinse with warm water - You should avoid rubbing your face because the coffee grounds could scratch your face.
