DIY Natural Beauty Products

Making your own body scrubs and mask is easier then you think. If you can set aside one hour on a Sunday afternoon the possibilities are endless. These are examples from a class I teach called EAT IT OR WEAR IT and I have seen participants licking their spoons. Bottom line is that you can step away from harsh chemicals.

BASIC BROWN SUGAR SCRUB

• 1 cup Brown Sugar
• 4 ounces Almond/Olive oil
• 15-22 Drops of Vanilla Extract
• 1 Mason jar to mix and store and I like that it has measurements on the side.

Remember it's food so store in a cool place and use it often. PEACE be the Journey.

(Choose only the best ingredients & always consult your doctor before trying any recipe from this blog.)

Here's the vlog that we, Paish & I, mentioned the sugar scrub.

Creative Beauty Summer Starter-Kit

 Let me say that quality is EVERYTHING and you get what you pay for so don't skimp on yourself. You're an amazing creation of intricate structure and a wonderful experience we call "human being." What you put on your skin is just as important as what goes into your body.

All of these products, with the exception of the honey, is from a lovely brand called Mountain Rose Herbs. (Link Below) I purchased my essentials through Ubiquitous Journey in Tacoma, WA. (Yes there's a difference between their coconut oil and the ones at most grocery stores.)   

The honey is local (Yippee) and you'll notice two types; blackberry and raspberry. It's important to know that they're not flavored. This is a natural process that happens when the hive is around certain plants and they pollenate the flowers of that particular flora. 

I can't say enough good things about Vitamin E. It's wonderful internally and externally. I also like using almond oil with Vitamin E because they complement one another.  

This is the start to many-many-many wonderful DIY beauty products. I mentioned these items in my #BeautyBabiesBigBoyz vlog and I wanted to share them here. ***Good news I'm teaching a class using these items called "Eat It or Wear It" for Free-University. I will be volunteering my services and all the profits go towards Free-U. That's a whopping $25 for supplies but if you don't live in the area then stay tuned. I'm working with Ubi's to make kits that correspond with my vlogs.***

#GoBuck - Give your creativity permission to thrive.

Have you ever completed a project to find out that something was missing?

My children enjoy putting puzzles together and after opening the box they went to work. Then they noticed the missing piece and couldn't find it anywhere. Further more they were daunted by the fact that they couldn't create a solution. What did they do?

They laughed about it, jumped around and as it happened music was playing so they danced.  (Laughed some more.) In my opinion that describes the hashtag #GoBuck. It's an attitude of, "Why worry about what I can't change." It's also the freedom to say "I'm going to dance and I don't care who's watching." That is the perfect combination of #GoBuck which is having a positive attitude and freedom.   

This is such a fun topic that we had to hash-it-out during The Creative View. (A weekly vlog I do with a few friends.) This topic had me rolling :)

#IntuitionRocks with The Creative View

Since March 3, 2015 I've been hashing trending thoughts with a few creatives on Google+ hangouts. Each time it get's better and the conversations are full of "aha" moments. This particular session was about intuition and how to recognize it in your life.

#IntuitionRocks YouTube

Grace's signature "Hmmm" look that usually get's me thinking. She has such deep insight. 

TCV isn't complete without Kiala's water. Every session she shares insight about it's importance in our lives. <3

Of course I have some sort of tea but my favorite thing to share is a different mug during our meet-ups.

I try to add an art journal page after our sessions. This one is from a previous burst of inspiration. PEACE be the Journey.

#iLoveTBC , Day 30 - Keep moving to live better :)

Last day! Now don't get too excited because it's only the beginning. We started a self discovery and wellness challenge about twenty-nine days ago and today marks it's completion. 

It was the intention of art journaling everyday and sticking to the iLove Pledge of wellness. Everyday participants jumped onto the blog to read the prompt, get inspiration and learn something new. 

The best part is that you can revisit the #iLoveTBC (i Love Total Body Challenge) when ever you choose. PEACE be the Journey.

#iLoveTBC , Day 26 - Do you have a symbol?

Symbols are a powerful representation of what we believe. It doesn't take words to express the idea behind the design. Think about how you shop and the way you choose your products. You look at the packaging or a familiar symbol.

Create your own symbol :) Chances are that you already have one. Maybe you wear a hummingbird pendant or have the infinity sign tattooed on your arm. Today try to doodle your very own personal symbol.

Wrap your symbol with the intention of love and prosperity. Let it remind you of your brilliance and just keep moving. PEACE be the Journey.

#iLoveTBC , Day 25 - How to create simple affirmations to support your goals.

Like everything else that is shared here I prefer to answer the, "What is it?" And "Why do I need it?" 

What is an affirmation?

It's support or encouragement to affirm something. This can be written or memorized. 

Why do I need it?

We all need encouragement. The end. (Ahhh... but there's more.)

Watch the YouTube video #FailuresNotEnough then make your own affirmation. (New episodes are recorded on Tuesday's so don't forget to subscribe.) 

How to create your own affirmation.

• Think about three strong and positive emotions you feel.
• Write them down.
• Now build a sentence with those words.
• Keep it simple and with one thought unless the words flow together. (Like live, laugh, love.) 

Bad example: I know that I can run every day, do 100 squats and Zumba®   with Ho'o five times a week.  

1. There's zero emotions involved. Needs heart.
2. Too many things happening.
3. A bit unrealistic to real life situations.

Good example: I will move with intention daily.

#iLoveTBC , Day 24 - How to create sacred space.

Before I share with you how to create sacred space I have three reasons why you need one.

1. When life get's chaotic this space with help to keep you sane.
2. It's a physical representation of inner-peace.
3. Let's face it, we need it.

I have three different approaches to creating sacred space. It's the Simple Chic , Way of Peace or Great Escape.

Simple Chic

• Get a beautiful tray.
• Place one (1) focus object & two (2) balance items. This combination can be a picture with two candles. Maybe a small statue and two plants.
• This area must remain dust & clutter free. You can not place keys, mail or anything other then the three (3) items. 

Way of Peace

• This will be on a credenza or side table. (I have one in my hall-way thus the name.)
• There will be five (5) objects in this presentation. Same as above plus two (2) which is a table runner and a mirror. The table runner will add flow and color for the three (3) items. Then place the mirror behind as a reflection point. *Tip: You can frost one positive word onto your mirror.
• This space must also remain dust & clutter free. 

Great Escape

• An entire room or garden. This will be a lot more work to create but it's worth it.
• Add elements that give you energy & joy. Keep it to a minimum because you don't want to have too much stuff.
• Set up a place to recline & reflect.
• This space is reserved for special "Me" time.
• Finally, it must remain dust & clutter free. *Tip: Music or water features are perfect for this space. 

credenza credenza |krəˈdenzə| nouna sideboard or cupboard.ORIGIN late 19th cent.: Italian, from medieval Latin credentia (see credence) .

#iLoveTBC , Day 22 - Create rituals that will benefit you.

The difference between habits and rituals is intention. You create significance by the attention you devote to something. Brushing your teeth and combing your hair can feel mundane unless you change your mindset.

What if you woke up into your "Beauty Ritual" instead of morning madness. Face, hair, clothes are all apart of your morning and maybe add a happy yoga flow to improve balance. After all your morning is super important because it sets the tone for the day.

Make some time to address what you would like to do. Then make a plan to get it done!

1. Write what you want in your morning schedule.
2. Schedule it. Add it to a daily calendar.
3. Make sure to block off time.
4. You might have to wake up earlier to spend more time on yourself.
5. Be diligent and don't allow stuff to crowd into your rituals. 

PEACE be the Journey, Ho'o
