Natural Beauty at Home.........

A few months ago, I mixed up a teaspoon of organic avocado and a teaspoon of organic honey and applied this to my face as a mask....it is absolutely beautiful by the way but it got me thinking. What do others mix up from the kitchen as part of their natural beauty regime? So I sent out a Sunday night facebook and tweet and this was some of the fantastic responses I just had to share.....

Oatmeal, almond meal, honey, crushed mint leaves & a tiny dab of almond oil & a little milk makes an awesome scrub for face & body (Pandoras Blog Australia)

The inside of paw paw (papaya) skin left sitting on the skin for 10 mins is a great natural exfoliation treatment... (Kate Watt)

Raw sugar and organic coconut oil for an all over body scrub! The oil leaves the skin with a light moisturise after sugar scrubs all dead skin away!.. (Danielle Mabey)

Half a cup of honey & half a cup of rolled oats mixed together! Apply all over the face and wash off after 15min! Great mask & exfoliant at the same time!! (Evangelia)

Jasmine rice powder, natural yoghurt & honey mask (Mummycino)

Ensuring your skin is in tip top state helps make your eyebrows look even more beautiful so that is why I thought I would list these great ideas so we can all look our best in the most natural way.

There was one more idea which I just had to mention as it made me laugh.....

This one from Karen Peace......

One glass each of Champagne, unsweetened pineapple juice, lemonade and a cup of fresh mint. Voila - everyone is beautiful :)

I think Karen maybe onto something and I intend to test each and every one of these recipes out!

What do you use from your kitchen? Would love to hear!

Why I am a Tweezerman fanatic!

Once you use tweezerman tweezers you will never use another brand again.

Pretty bold statement..... but it is a statement that once you experience the wonders of tweezerman tweezers, you will be saying it too!

A little over 4 years ago, on a trip to the USA my love affair with tweezerman began.

Yes, a very serious love affair!

I know, that sounds really strange, but like a hammer is essential for work for a builder, tweezers are key to a brow artist. I had many types of tweezers, ranging in prices and styles and then while in the USA I came across these.....

PINK tweezers.....what! I had never seen anything more beautiful and these limited edition beauties were heading home with me. Little did I know from the very first moment I plucked a hair with these 'genius creations', that my obsession with tweezerman was about to start. To tweeze a hair and have every hair just come out roots and all, to have a product that when you hold in your hand you know they are meant to do exactly what they are made to do, to have a product that guarantees lifetime free sharpening helps you envision the quality and how it is designed and made. And that is not even mentioning the colours and types of tweezers that are available or the story behind this wonderful product.

Christmas 2010, I eagerly unwrapped my present to myself. ;) LOL

A book.....Raising Eyebrows by Dal LaMagna the founder of tweezerman. I then disappeared for a few days while I absorbed this powerful and fascinating story.

On the insert of the book it reads....'Raising Eyebrows reveals how LaMagna turned his failures into the seeds of success, founding the beauty tool company Tweezerman and building it into both a premium brand and a socially responsible enterprise. If your tired of entrepreneurship stories that gloss over hardships or sugar coat risk, LaMagna pulls no punches in depicting the long and difficult work of realising his dreams." Well that was enough for me and I found myself reading through this book, feeling every single thing that happened along the way and wholeheartedly wishing for this man to succeed.

So my tweezerman love affair was strengthened as I love to read a story on how real people achieve BIG things.

THEN I came across these......

Polka dot crystal slant tweezers with the catch phrase 'put a little sparkle in your life'. Yep, that sparkle was heading my way with these beauties. Anyone sitting in my brow chair soon learns about my 'bling' tweezers....how could you not when you see the Swarovski® crystals sparkling away!

My beauty obsession with Tweezerman  who states.....Famous for its precision, perfectly aligned hand-finished tips are guaranteed to grab every hair, every time (that is so true) does not end with my current bling tweezers.

Luxe edition crystal slant in divine white.......do I really need to say anything more? These will be my next present to myself! :-)

Have you got a pair of tweezerman tweezers in your makeup case? I would love to hear your thoughts and if you have any tweezer favourites.
