Forever Living Aloe Moisturizing Lotion

This Aloe lotion is thick and very moisturising. It replenishes lost moisture and helps the skin stay soft and supple. I use this lotion a few times a week and I have noticed a massive difference in my skin already. It is a great moisturising lotion.

PROS
  1. A little goes a long way with this lotion.
  2. It has a light lovely fragrance.
  3. This lotion is great for getting rid of spots and rashes. I have had a few rashes on my arm for some time now and this Aloe lotion got rid of the rashes after a few days of applying the lotion directly on the rashes.
  4. It leaves the skin moisturised, soft and supple.
  5. This lotion is vegetarian-friendly and Gluten-free.
  6. I love the fact that I can use this lotion on my face and body.
CONS

It is a thick lotion so it is not easily absorbed into the skin.

Creating Facial Moisturiser with Essential Oils

July 22, 2020 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , , , , 9 Comments

I recently fell in love with essential oils and I forever playing with different blends. Essential Oils are so multitasking, I use them in many different ways. Like I said in one of my recent posts, I am moving towards the vegetarian/vegan way of life with my diet and I also want to ensure all the products are use are natural and cruelty-free. Creating my own facial moisturiser with essential oils is one way of ensuring my skincare products include natural and cruelty-free ingredients. I have been playing around with various recipes and I am still perfecting the facial moisturiser.

I have noticed that many of the products that claim to be natural still include chemicals in them. This is one of the reasons why I am determined to keep on creating my own hair and skin products to be sure I am happy with all the ingredients. Another reason why I am now creating my own facial moisturizer is that I have noticed my skin breaks out a lot these days, and I am not sure why. Creating my own facial moisturiser will allow me to put in the right ingredients to help get rid of spots and stop the breakouts.

Creating Facial Moisturiser with Essential Oils

The base carrier I like using for my facial moisturiser is grapeseed oil. It is a great oil for normal skin and acne-prone skin too. I like to include a few drops of lavender essential oil into the grapeseed carrier oil to create a facial moisturiser. It works great every time. Lavender essential oil is a great oil for normal and acne-prone skin. It can also be used on other skin types. If you are looking at experimenting with essential oils, I recommend you try the lavender oil first. It is such an amazing oil and can be used in a variety of ways.

I like mixing in one carrier oil and one essential oil at a time to see which blends work well for my skin. Mixing in different oils at the same time will be tricky as you won’t know for sure which oil is doing what. Creating your own facial moisturiser with essential oils is easy if you have the time and if you have an interest in oils. I will be sharing pictures of my DIY homemade facial moisturiser in the next few days so keep reading.

Thanks for stopping by.

 

6 ways to save money on your wedding

July 20, 2020 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , 6 Comments

*Collaborative post.

Weddings are always so expensive. It is a special day and worth splurging a little on but it is always good to watch the pennies at the same time. These days, there are lots of ways to save money for your wedding. You don’t have to spend your entire savings to have a good wedding ceremony. Here are 6 ways to save money for your wedding –

Start planning early

The best to save money is to get on top of the planning process quickly. Planning early is a good way to ensure you stick to your budget and it also allows you more time to shop around and find the right vendors for your wedding. If you are doing most of the planning last minute, it is more likely you will spend more than you would have if you had more time.

Pick a date that isn’t in demand

Picking a date that isn’t in demand is a smart way to save some money while planning a wedding. The summer months are usually in demand for weddings. Almost every bride wants a summer wedding. Picking a date outside of the summer months will automatically reduce the cost of your wedding. Also, a weekday wedding will also bring costs even lower. Weekend dates are usually a lot more expensive than weekday weddings.

Put your negotiation hats on

You have to be good at negotiating to get your costs down. Do not be afraid to negotiate with your vendors to ensure you get the best prices for what you need. It is also best to shop around and compare various quotes before picking the vendors you want.

Save costs on your photography

You save money on your photography wedding costs by getting a good Wedding Photo Swap app to collect and share photos taken by your guests on your wedding day. That way, you get to see loads of all in one place take from different angles. I wish I had a photo-sharing app for my wedding when we got married. It would have been an amazing addition and a cheaper way to get many more photos.

Get prom dresses for your bridal train

Choosing prom dresses for your bridal train is another fab way of saving costs on your wedding day. There are loads of options available in many designs and colours. There are prom dresses for every bridal train. You can also get inspiration from these stylish prom dresses for your wedding dress.

Reduce your guest list

You don’t have to have the whole world at your wedding. Small intimate weddings are usually a lot more fun, plus they are a lot cheaper to organise. You can slash your costs massively for your venue and catering by just reducing the number of people you invite.

After all, there is a life to live after the wedding.
