Imagine one day being able to wake up and immediately start on what YOU wanna do. Imagine turning your life into a nonstop joy ride filled with limitless possibilities? Now stop imagining, take everything you dreamed of and turn it into your reality. EASE ON DOWN to HAPPINESS!

That’s right! When I say ease, I mean to live your life the way it was meant to be lived; in joy and fulfillment. Maybe all your life you’ve been told that in order to be happy you need to do A B C then X Y Z.  Maybe you followed the rules and ended up not being satisfied with the outcome. Unfortunately our parents may or may not have guided us on the right paths according to what we like and who we are. The whole structure of this society makes one think that everyone must go to college or aim for the same things or else their chances of success are slim. All of us have different goals. Honestly I don’t know why some teenagers who graduate high school choose to jump right into college. I understand that they want to finish on time, but what’s the rush? So many young people end up changing their minds due to their exposure to the real world. I guess this is why some freshmen change their major a million times before they figure out what they really want to do. If I knew what I know now back then, I would have probably backpacked through Europe. I did study abroad, but I feel backpacking would have been a different kind of exposure, and cheaper. My only hope is that you treat yourself as an individual. Find out what it takes for you to achieve your goals. I did go to college, but honestly, if I had to do it over again, I would have worked, saved up, and started my own business. I probably would have taken 1 or 2 courses in business, and then the rest I would have taught myself through books. Actually having experience in the job you want is way more useful. I’m grateful for my experience regardless of any mistakes I’ve made. Lucky for you; I can share my knowledge and help YOU avoid the irritatingly pricey mistakes. If for any reason you feel as though your mistakes are what is breaking you down, please click here for an article that will help you understand that mistakes are absolutely helpful on the road to success.

Take care and good luck in your endeavors :)

Everyone has their favorite beauty brand. It’s always that one “must have” product that can seriously break the bank. With good quality facial cleansers costing up to $30 per couple of ounces, it’s no wonder people are opting for more classic beauty methods. A good toner might cost $25 or more, but rose water has the same effect, is all natural, AND cost way less. Some of the best beauty ingredients are right there in your kitchen pantry!

I love making natural beauty products, so I’ll be creating my own to sell in my online store very soon.  I’ll continue to post recipes for you to try, but some require more technical blending techniques. That’s where the Essential Tools for Creating Natural Beauty Products come in. I’ve listed some tools that will enable you to create my recipes or even your own.

My suggestions are:

Marble Pedestal-                         This item is a general kitchen basic. The stone and marble made ones do the best work.

Enameled cooking pot(s)-        For melting waxes or natural Shea and Cocoa Butters.

Weighing scales-                           It can be electric or traditional. The electric is easier to work with though.

Measuring cup-                             To accurately measure liquids. Melting liquids can get hot, so glass is best and easy to clean.

Cocktail Shaker-                            For combining ingredients. Stainless steel ones are the best.

Double Broiler pot-                    You can also get a heat proof glass bowl and place inside the pot, but for safety reasons just buy the pot.

Oven-                                                 For boiling, melting, and heating ingredients.

Glass Bowl-                                      For mixing and easy ingredient combinations

Egg beater-                                      For blending certain ingredients.

Coffee Press-                                   Best for steeping tea to mix with ingredients.

Wooden Spatulas-                         Great for sugar waxing.

Small silver spoon-                       Baby spoons are great for dispersing product in containers.

Glass measuring dropper-         For adding small precise amounts of expensive ingredients.

Baby Medicine Feeder-               Optional for even more pierces measuring.

Glass jars-                                          For holding products, gifting, and personal storage.

These are the tools that I think works best. Keep up to date with my post and have fun with your creations.

I’m writing in effort to invoke some thought about your overall perception of “messing up”. Do you feel like your evolving properly in terms of spirituality? Do you understand the patterns of life and how to learn from your mistakes?  First of all, making mistakes are completely natural. I’m not talking about work; those can possibly be avoided, but not life mistakes.

People spend their days with regret from decisions they’ve made. It’s like the old saying goes; you can plan a pretty picnic but not the weather.  With that said, why beat yourself up over something that’s unavoidable…or supposed to happen? What if you’re supposed to go through the negative things that happened in life? In that case, why fight it? Finding your strengths through your mistakes is a great thing to do. If something negative happens in result of a mistake, then analyze what happened, understand why things went wrong, and let it go.

Feel better because:

A) It will never happen again.

B) I’ve become wiser and stronger.

C) This will not deter me from bravely going forward and stepping up to the next challenge.

Own up to your mistakes. I know it’s difficult and embarrassing at times, but the key is to experience it, learn from it, and keep it moving. There’s no one on this planet that hasn’t messed up once or twice, so you’re definitely not alone. Wallowing in sorrow doesn’t achieve anything. Just like a test, you might get one answer wrong, but that doesn’t mean you won’t pass. You will never stop learning, so mistakes help build a better you.

Take care :)
