Never Salty

/ evalynmichelle / Leave a comment

You always want to exfoliate your entire body and don’t forget your scalp. A lot of scalp treatments are made with salt but I love this one because she uses sugar in her product. It feels like a spa day in my shower whenever I use this stuff. It leaves my scalp feeling very clean. This is going to get you a healthy scalp which will produce healthy hair. I also love the color of her packaging, it’s bright and light. Dead cells are everywhere & can create flakes which can be embarrassing especially if you like to wear black like me 🙂 I’ll post a link to where you can find it (Target) Also I’m a huge fan of Taraji P Henson, she’s a hustler and a damn good actress. Now a hair line !!!!What!!! I mean she’s the definition of a BOSS Woman. I love supporting women in business because it’s important to support each other in everything. And I think it’s important to share what we know so all women can live their best lives. So scrub your face, body & scalp to reveal the beauty underneath.  💞

LIGHTSTIM

You can buy red light therapy from https://www.amazon.com/ . I chose LightStim because I’m good friends with the account executive in my area. With my license I also get a sweet discount. I love what it does for my skin. I also love how I get quick results in my client’s skin by using this magic wand on them. Bottom line is that it works no b/s. Now everyone’s skin is different but for me & my skin it has taken away brown spots that I thought I was going to have forever. If I would have known about this in my 20’s I would have started this in my 20’s. But I didn’t so I am just starting now at 35. I wish someone would have told me. Anyway this is a legit investment, it won’t let you down. It’s also super relaxing like (makes you want to fall asleep relaxing ). I usually do it at night to put me in the mood to sleep. (That’s a whole other blog post) Sleep & I don’t get along at times.

Okay so here’s what it does ( I love knowing how things work , I’m kinda boring but I am a real BIG nerd at heart) :

The wavelengths of light energy can treat your fine lines and wrinkles

🤯 light therapy was originally used by NASA for wound healing in space ( by the way I used it on a burn that I got while cooking & I literally have no scar because of this tool)

 It increases collagen and elastin production, reduces inflammation, speeds healing, increases circulation, destroys acne bacteria etc.

The list goes on & on people. Results may vary because everyone has different DNA 🙂 Just wanted to share what I learned.

L’Oreal Mascara Obsession

I can’t get enough of this drugstore mascara. It’s better than the expensive department store stuff. Can we talk about how attractive the bottle is ? I mean it’s not your average mascara bottle right ?! I love big thick dramatic lashes .

DIY EYEBROW WAXING

/ evalynmichelle / Leave a comment

Okay so I overplucked the brows a little in high school & they never grew back. After high school I put my trust in various people who have all butchered my poor brows. So, I do them myself now. And you can too! It takes practice and it can get messy but practice makes perfect 😉

Happy waxing! 

Items needed to do your own at home waxing:

Wax Warmer

Wax

Waxing strips

Pre-wax cleanser ( I use witchhazel)

Applicators

Spoolie brush

Tweezers

Hot Oil Scalp Treatment

/ evalynmichelle / Leave a comment

It’s easy and cheap . Thats a win win situation if you ask me. I do this once a week. Sometimes I warm the oil most of the time I don’t. I always leave it on overnight. I also use this before a hot pilates class. A healthy scalp = healthy hair. I want long healthy hair, like I’m talking “Rapunzel” so I’m trying this Red Pimento oil to help me out. We shall see.

Stay Hydrated

The Institute of Medicine says that we should be drinking at least 74 ounces of water a day. I mean our bodies are composed of 73% water so it’s very important to hydrate. I wanted to share one of my favorite teas to make this happen because let’s face it plain water can get boring.

This tea is very tasty & refreshing. I usually fill up my YETI https://www.yeti.com/en_US/home like twice a day with this stuff! I’m obsessed with my Yeti ! Keeps my drinks hot or cold all day, it’s magical. Oh & don’t forgot lot’s of water means less eczema & psoriasis 😉 I have both so staying hydrated is a must!

Stay healthy XoXo
