Chemical Free Face Mask

This face mask will leave your skin feeling soft and smooth. Simple to use and non toxic are the keys to a daily skin care routine.

All things home face mask

1 tsp organic tangerine peel
1 tbsp coconut oil, warmed to a liquid state
1 tbsp organic raw honey
4 tsp natural Greek yogurt
3 tbsp ground barley
1 egg yolk

Whip all the ingredients, except the egg yolk, together and let cool. Once cooled blend in egg yolk and apply to face. Keep the mask on for a minimum of 20 minutes (until it drys) or longer and then rinse off with warm water. Store in an air tight container in the fridge.

The reason why we developed this face mask is because we were looking for something refreshing with multiple benefits for your skin.

Here is the breakdown of benefits for each ingredient:

Tangerine peel improves your skins appearance and texture.
Coconut oil provides your skin with much needed moisturizing.
Raw Honey provides antibacterial properties and helps to heal any open sores on your skin and also provides hydration.
Yogurt brightens your skin and is an excellent exfoliant.
Barley provides extra exfoliation
Egg yolk helps reduce the appearance of scars and improves circulation. It also acts to reduce acne breakouts.

As with anything please consult your dermatologist before using this product. Those who are unsure of a reaction to the product should test a small area of the skin behind the ear first.

We would love to know what you think about this product.

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that I'm changing my url to homeharmony1 instead of word-of-whyntre. My title will also become All Things Home instead of Words of Whatever. I hope all of you can find and hopefully enjoy it!

That's all for now

You'll never guess who...

Hey all! Guess what? It's Valentine's Day! *sarcastically woohoo's* It's just another day but, in society it's like a super romantic day and all with the chocolate and the flowers and whatnot, I mean, shouldn't that be a regular treat? Should we really have to wait for today to feel special? Us single people like to call it Singles Awarness Day, makes us feel better :P

This is besides the point. Do some of you know the actor/singer Sam Witwer, like who he is, not personally? If you don't well, he was Starkiller (Galen Marek) in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (great game by the way) and he is in the SyFy version of Being Human (aka the US version, which is also great). The other day I was wondering if he'd want to be a vampire, or would he rather be a jedi, so I asked him on Twitter. To my surprise, he responded, needless to say though, I'm still wondering. Answering a question with another question is never the answer.

This weekend my aunt and uncle are coming down from Edmonton and I'm so excited! They were supposed to come down for Christmas but they got in to a pretty serious collision. Don't worry though, they're both perfectly healthy, unfortunately the other couple weren't so lucky. The girlfriend ended up dying on impact, my prayers have gone out to her family. The thing was, it wasn't either of the drivers' fault, it was the damn snow banks! And I mean, they were out on the highway going relatively fast so neither of them had the time to react.

And finally...I got my first Epicure tasting party booked! I'm so excited, but I'm so nervous too! I need to get products sold and whatnot, need to start making money you know? It's going to be with familiar faces so I really have nothing to worry about, just gotta memorize the catalogue...

That all for now

It's been a while...

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. I'm not going to give any excuses, nobody cares about them.

So in the past little while, my mum's blog has really started to gain momentum, she's almost at 1000 views (it hasn't even been a month yet!)I'll post the link further down. I got my braces a couple of Wednesdays ago, Being Human season 4 started a few weeks back ,and ugh I missed the second episode (so mad!!) Oh and I'm now an Independent Epicure consultant!! Yes, I finally have a source of income :P I should hopefully be getting my starter kit on Tuesday (fingers crossed)

Also, I have been doing some artwork recently, I mean it's for my art class but, I've done some pieces in the past and I'm looking to get some money for them. I'll post some pictures of my work in a later blog.

Finally, today, I took an extremely relaxing bath with some homemade bath salts. Here's the recipe:
1 cup sea salt
1/2 Epsom salt
1 cup Baking soda
10 drops of essential oils (optional)
Food colouring(also optional)

Mix everything together in a glass bowl (so the oils and/or food colouring won't leech into your bowl) If you wish to add some EO's (essential oils) you could mix different oils with each other. We mixed Rosemary, Lavender and Geranium. After, we added some red food colouring and then transfered the bath salt into an empty glass container and put it in the bathroom for quick, easy access. If you want to figure out some more EO mixtures, there are plenty of sites that can help :)

Oh and here's the link, just as I said: foodsymphony1

Enjoy!

Mmmmm Food

So, last night I made some awesome fish, it was delicious, like even my mum was impressed. To start, you want to take any white fish (I used sole...mmmmmmmmm) some thyme, garlic lemon powder and lemon juice (I would have done without the juice and I would have used fennel...if I could actually find it -____-) Mix it all together, throw it in the oven (or however you want to cook it) and enjoy! Tonight, I did the same thing, impressed mum again (oh snap!)

This time, I made a chile (why do they call it chile if it's hot?) I kinda followed a recipe and I kinda did whatever and it turned out great! If I keep cooking like this I'm gonna find myself cooking every night (noooooooooooo) Anyways, if you guys want more awesome recipes, I suggest heading over to foodsymphony1. There are some really great, everyday recipes and whatnot there.

That's all for now

First post!!!

Hey guys, there are probably tons of you who won't read this post but, whatever. Just started my second semester of University, it's my first year. I'm taking an art class and I'm so excited!! I actually already finished my projet, which is due Monday. Speaking of next Monday, season 4 of Being Human starts and I'm excited for that too!! Like you guys have no idea! My grandparents are coming down this weekend, I'm getting braces in a couple of weeks and I'm just so excited for everything. Right now I'm just listening to 'Story of My Life' by my favorite band ever...that's right folks, I'm a Directioner, and a proud one at that! I don't know how often I'll post but it has to be at least once a week, I'll be talking about pretty much anything, something interesting or in the news or, you know, whatever.

That's all for now
