Baby Steps

Having really dodgy skin and allergic reactions to detergents/hand creams etc.....i have decided to go greener, healthier and hopefully find a cheaper way of doing things that Boots and Tescos can't!

The ageing process is creeping up on me....so these are my baby steps to a better lifestyle.  I also have little time these days....what with working a full time job....and wanting to do much more in the way of art and crafting....time is not on my side.  Therefore, i also want to de-clutter my life, home and head.....i am going to devise time saving and also probably ritual type tasks so that i can meet my goals each day.

So....today.  My baby step was finding household items and using them to clean or cleanse.  

Fed up with getting dry cracked hands from cleaning my bathroom....i grabbed the vinegar and bicarbenate of soda...mixed them together and cleaned my bathroom....with the window open of course as the stench was pretty bad.  

Results:  shiny and pretty damned amazing!  

Time saving:  if i do little and often i won't have a mamouth task on my weekends.

Secondly....i made myself a face mask.  Very simple from ingredents i already had.

• Honey
• Egg Yolk
• Olive Oil

Mixed them all together...slapped it on and left for 15 minutes.

Results:  My skin feels tighter....not that horrible tightness i have often had with moisturisers and other masks.  The oil, hopefully, will help my very very dry skin.

Not sure how cost effective this is yet as i guess an egg is roughly 25p....splash of oil and spoon of honey.  This is now in my fridge and will prob. last 3 days. 

I will have to use the egg whites though as tonight i chucked it away.  More of those gorgeous cakes i think!
