Organic, Vegan Brown Sugar Lip Scrub

By now you know that I am a Younique presenter and I first fell in love with the 3D Fiber Lashes (when I say love, I mean...LOVE). I would actually fist fight someone for them if they tried to steal them from me, lol. They make my eyes pop and it appears as if I am wearing false lashes even though I am not! So, with the success of my lashes... I decided to progress my way into the lip products (an area of my face I had dedicated to Burt's Bees lip gloss). This next love affair came fast and hard - and it was with our "Stiff Upper Lip" lip stain. This stuff stays on for SOOO long and you can even top it with chap stick and our lip gloss without losing the stain!


As happy as I was with the lip stain, I was also a little disappointed in my lips! I would have those little flakes of skin on my lips and areas where my stain took darker than everywhere else leaving an uneven appearance. I have always used the safest lip products that I could find so it never made sense to me why my lips weren't flawless. Now, that has all changed!

The simple truth is that your lips are just like the rest of your body! They need attention! Your lips become dry and chapped because they don't produce oil like the rest of your body does. They become damaged and regenerate new cells and sometimes...the dead cells are simply there and chilling out. Using chapstick and moisturizers will give you a smoother appearance BUT they won't make the flakes go away! So, what do you do to the rest of your body when you want to expose the newest, freshest, and healthiest skin - EXFOLIATE!

Getting rid of these pesky flakes is easier and tastier than you think! There are so many variations of this recipe and you really can make a basic lip scrub by blending any sugar and coconut oil. The coconut oil will leave your lips soft, moisturized and healthy while the sugar helps pull away those dead cells to reveal beautiful-glowing lips!

This really can't be easier.

simply blend the following-
1 tsp. Organic Brown Sugar (or whatever you have on hand)
1 tsp. Organic Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is solid at room temperature so you may want to warm it slightly to get a great blend. One you mix it together, add a little to your lips and gently rub it across your lips - back and forth - very gently. Next step, LICK IT OFF! This stuff is safe, edible, and tastes AMAZING! Okay...if you really way to, you can wash it off but why not go for it?


The coconut oil will leave your lips moisturized and will leave a film on your lips....that will leave your lips so healthy!

BONUS - this makes a super cute gift! Add variations like a hint of organic vanilla! Switch it up and use white sugar, coconut oil, and a drop of peppermint for a mojito inspired lip scrub! Toss it in a sweet glass jar and you have a beautifully crafted gift for anyone!

ENJOY YOUR NEW SUPER HEALTHY LIPS!

Making Money with YOUNIQUE!

Hello everyone, thanks for taking the time to check out my page!

I am so ready to get this next chapter in my life started because as many of you may know...I am ready to ditch the 9-5 and make a career that is based from home- A career that revolves around my schedule and my family! Clearly so is everyone on facebook LOL!

Finally, after having enough, I scoured the "work from home"  posts one day...picture by picture...promise by promise and wondered...what could I possibly do from home to make some money? Well, I came up empty handed but was able to find a deal that I couldn't say "no" to. Sure, there were a lot of "great deals" but I really didn't need leggings, can't commit to a longstanding skin regimen, can't keep a tupperware lid to save my life and honestly....couldn't bare the thought of another candle in the house!

What did catch my eye, however, was an amazing deal on naturally based makeup! $400 in products for just $99 plus the opportunity to build my own business. I WAS SOLD! So I looked further into it!

FIRST - There was a HUGE KIT!

Clearly, this part was a no brainer. 

So, I began to investigate! I found that there were NO FEES, NO MONTHLY MINIMUMS (small minimum of $125 per three months), NO WEBSITE FEES, NO COMMITMENT! Commission starts at 20% and moves up as you sell and share the business! Of course, they offer amazing incentive cruises, car incentives and unlimited earning potential BUT I wasn't thinking that far down the path yet! You can read more about it HERE

I honestly just started to get the great deal but fell in LOVE with the products...LIKE FOR REAL! Now, I am making this brand part of my future plan! I can be really honest and say that I WAS NOT a selfie girl. I typically hide from cameras but when it comes to making money...I will learn! I feel great about what I do and it really is great for confidence and breaking you out of your comfort zone!

More about younique---

Younique is an amazing NATURALLY BASED & CRUELTY FREE makeup line that boasts gluten free and vegan items too! You can read more about them HERE. Anyway, they have a HUGE lineup of skin care and beauty items. What's nice is that they are a one stop shop...foundations, eye shadows, brow products, lip sticks, lip stains, eye liners, and so much more. Their claim to fame is the 3D FIBER LASH MASCARA and I can tell you, it is everything that they say!

Yea, right. Like I was gonna get these results, I DID!

Don't laugh....It's one of my FIRST SELFIES!

Organic. Vegan Orange Creamsicle Body Scrub

By now, I am pretty certain you know that I am obsessed with body scrubs. Body scrubs were something that I had actually never used before I started making my own...I guess I never got the point. Now, however, I am hooked.

This scrub has quickly become a favorite for both myself and my daughter. The scent takes me back to summer when, as a child, the ice cream truck would roll past and my treat of choice was always an orange creamsicle. It smells good enough to eat and luckily..IT IS SAFE ENOUGH TO EAT-although I don't advise it!

This scrub can be made in a matter of minutes and makes a perfect gift for yourself or someone else. I make mine with all organic ingredients BUT you can certainly use conventional for your scrub! The sugar will gently scrub away dead skin while the coconut oil nourishes and leaves your skin the softest it has ever been! It is a high quality product so you will use such a small amount to do your entire body.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup Organic Sugar
• 8-10 drops of Orange Essential Oil (Or squeezed orange juice)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• Zest of An Orange
• 1/4 cup Organic Coconut Oil

That is seriously it! There really is no trick to it! Toss it all in a bowl and mix it up! The orange zest is just for color and can easily be omitted based upon what you have handy! Don't worry, the coconut oil may solidify BUT will melt in your hands with your body warmth after you take a small spoonful.

I am a pretty - go with the flow type of gal so don't be hung up on the ingredients! No coconut oil, sub olive oil! No essential oil? Squeeze in an orange! This is just a template!

I hope you enjoyed this recipe and will continue to follow me on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to the minute with my favorite recipes, organic living tips, and DIY green beauty potions!

Organic Chocolate Mocha Body Scrub

I recently found a jar of amazing chocolate body scrub-it smelled so good that I thought I could eat it. Then I flipped over the jar and found the ingredient list. After reading,  I found that not only should I NOT eat it....I really shouldn't even be putting it on my skin! It was filled with chemicals that I couldn't even pronounce and not even the chocolate in it was real.

As sad as I was to let that sweet smelling scrub sit on the shelf- it had to be done. I have said it before and will say it again.... "My skin is a conductor NOT a barrier"! Throughout my newbie "green" journey, I have found that everything I place onto my skin becomes a part of my body. There are even studies that show chemicals from cosmetics worn by the pregnant mother are found in newborn babies. Don't worry...this article is not THAT article and PLEASE believe me--there is NO JUDGEMENT. I just feel that lathering chemicals on my skin would practically negate my organic diet and choices. I would just have to come up with a way to have my scrub...and be able to eat it too!

Lucky for me, I have some resourceful friends in the blogger world who have taught me that I can make ANYTHING that I can buy in a store! I sat down - sans recipe- and began creating my NEW favorite body scrub. Even if you aren't looking particularly for an organic body scrub...you will STILL LOVE THIS DIY Body scrub!

This body scrub was SO easy to make and used ingredients that I already have around the house! The best part is that I make it with real cocoa so it is caffeinated. This hit of caffeine helps to attack and reduce cellulite...that is a BIG plus for me. Did I mention that it is totally edible?

Ingredients:

• 1- 1.5 Cup(s) Cocoa Powder
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 1 cup White Sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons Coconut Oil (or any oil you would like olive oil, grapeseed, etc)
• 2 tablespoons Organic Coffee - just a dash for extra caffeine. You can omit if you would like.

If you want it organic, be sure  to use products carrying the "ORGANIC" label!

Directions:
 Want to know how easy this is?!?!??

1. Blend together in a bowl. Yep...That's it! 

Use:
Use this scrub on your skin in the bath or shower. Since you used high quality ingredients, a little will go a long way!!! The caffeine will attack your cellulite and the coconut oil will leave your skin naturally moisturized and refreshed!

Here are a few fun variations:

• Add in chopped organic mint for a refreshing experience! Smells so good and really wakes you up in the morning!
• Add in some dried coconut for extra exfoliation!
• Add in vanilla for a new scent.
• Finely Chopped Almonds are a great way to exfoliate!

THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!

So...now you can have your body scrub and eat it too!

Younique's 3D Fiber Lash Mascara - Review

I am going to start this article with a little bit of honesty...I had zero faith in the 3D Fiber Lash Mascara. I think it's okay to admit my skepticism because it was there and was a part of me. I am one of those people who has to SEE proof to believe it and my friends' selfies just weren't getting the job done. Admit it...you have all seen your friends posting about Younique, itworks and plethoras of other companies and how many posts really strike you as true results? Probably not many and let's face the other fact that it was more than I had ever spent on mascara in my life.

Anyway, my friend placed me in a Facebook group for an online makeup bash and I was not terribly happy about it. Still, I followed along and when I saw that I could get over $400 in products for just $99...I thought, "why the heck not" (insert my cheapskate snese of thinking)?! The collection I am speaking about is the "presenters kit" but since there were no commitments or fees...I was gonna take the makeup and RUN. I had no intentions to sell, to build a team nor to start taking selfies!

ARRIVAL DAY - I absolutely knew that the 3D Fiber lash mascara was the FIRST thing I was going to try. I absolutely HAD to see if this crap worked like my friends said. You see, most mascara ads have a little line of fine print, "model is wearing lash inserts" or "lash extensions used on models" and the Younique ads were my friends' photos - why wouldn't I believe them?

Here is my before...One of the ONLY before photos that I have. I am gonna draw your attention to the baby lashes. I had always used the leading brand of mascara in the pink tube - you know the one. I thought this was as good as it got.





Now, may I introduce to you my 3D fiber LASHES!!







Yep, go ahead, admit it...you SEE the difference. I don't have to draw your attention to my new lashes because they command it! Just two little steps and no glue or falsies! I got one eye done and ran from the bathroom and even my hubby replied with, "holy crap"! He never mentions anything about my makeup so please understand that these results were very visable.

So, now you wanna know, how do they work? They are simple! Step one is a "transplanting gel". Roll this on just like your typical mascara and then wait for the magic. This gel elongates your lashes and the brush seems to pick up every little lash! Next is step two...the magic FIBERS! Roll the fibers over the transplanting gel to fatten and extend lashes. Follow this pass up with another swipe of gel to set the look! Want more lashes...LAYER UP!

Clearly, this skeptic became a fan. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better...they go and release EPIC - One step mascara and complete their line with ESTEEM - lash growth serum! Wanna make your lashes VA-VA-VA VOOM? Score the WHIP LASH DUO collection and save some moolah.

This gal will never go back!

Why Choose Younique?

Hello Everyone!

Why buy Younique

2) You saw someone sharing Younique and were intrigued

-or-

3) You saw someone sharing Younique and were not buying the hype!

No matter what brought you here, I am happy that you landed here on my page!

I can honestly say that I probably did the same google search before buying my first Younique product. I shouldn't say "probably" because I absolutely know that I did google "why buy younique". I quietly laughed at ALL of my friends selling leggings and goods on facebook and only bought the makeup because it was a HUGE deal ($439 in products for just $99)!

Yep, you get a collection like this for just $99!

Lemme give you a bit of background on me! My name is Heather and I am a mom of 5 gorgeous kiddos. I have worked full time for all of my life and probably been a "cheapskate" for much longer! I have often frequented the Dollar store for my makeup and would try just about anything on clearance. Spending more than $5 on one item was a HUGE splurge for me. Everyday, I would put my makeup on in the morning and...by lunch...I would find that my makeup was gone. I simply thought it was the job I was doing (extreme conditions) and not the makeup. 

It was close to Christmas time and one of my friends invited me to one of those "annoying" facebook parties. You know, the one where she earns free makeup when her friends buy. I was added into these groups all the time and never bought-heck, I never even paid attention to the notifications! When I saw the HUGE deal and knew that I could get my family to spring for an early Christmas gift...I was ready to invest!

I truly got the kit with ZERO intention to share the products. I only wanted my deal and nothing else. The presenters collection has over $400 in products for $99 with NO STRINGS, NO COMMITMENTS, and NO SELLING required. I didn't see any downside! I am not a self professed "high maintenance" person nor do I spend more than 20 minutes on my makeup. I will go on record that I had NEVER taken a selfie!

I had no clue what was coming my way!

Day 1, I tried the mascara. I remember running out from the bathroom to show my husband the difference. He nodded and agreed...I vaguely remember the word, "WOW" coming out of his mouth but that may just be my excitement talking. I continued with the palette and then to some lipstick. I was impressed BUT was not expecting much more than I was used to. I went on my way to work. I stopped at the usual gas station and received compliments about my makeup...STRANGE. I got to lunch time and my makeup was still there...EVEN STRANGER! When I went to leave work at 6 pm and my makeup looked as fresh as it had that morning...I knew I was hooked.  

So, I have told you know about the staying power and sure, that is a reason BUT there are a few others to note!

1) WE MEET EUROPEAN STANDARDS FOR BEAUTY PRODUCTS! 1300 harmful chemicals are BANNED in the European Union while only 11 are BANNED in the United States. Our products are naturally based and safer than you will find on the shelves at the mini-mart. You can always find our ingredients and we are transparent about what is in the makeup!

2) WE RUN A RETREAT for women of abuse. If you have never checked out The Younique Foundation, I highly encourage you to do it! At this retreat, women are given support, tools and confidence to move forward. It is funded by Younique and each purchase you make from our websit allows you to "round up" to add more money directly to the cause. We also, throughout the year, do additional collections where the entirety of proceeds goes to the foundation as well as the Defend Innocence project. Defend Innocence is an amazing project that raises awareness for the One in Four Children who are abused by someone they know. Does Your makeup do that? 

3) BUYING FROM YOUNIQUE is supporting a mission of EMPOWERING. UPLIFTING. and VALIDATING. women. Sure there are other companies with celebrity models or backers but...who do you truly identify with and feel good supporting? Younique's website and catalogue is filled with pages of gorgeous REAL WOMEN who share in the mission of younique-No paid spokespeople here! Women really do earn cars, trips, income and so much more through their younique businesses. You can feel good about supporting them! 

Did I mention that the products are AMAZING? Maybe I did and maybe I didn't! If I didn't...let me do it NOW! I actually find that, because of the quality of this makeup, I use less and apply less often. This allows me to actually save money! 

So, that's my two cents. Yes, I tend to ramble and especially about something that I am THIS passionate about. Do you have questions? Wanna Know more? I am happy to help you find products, to answer questions about how you can start your own business, or to assist you with how to best support your friend who sells Younique!
