New Beauty Products

Hello webland! It has been a while! My husband and I recently made a big move across the country. It was scary, exciting and a lot of work but well worth it for us. Cali is beautiful! Along the way I ran out of my face cream and have been searching for a new one that I really feel happy using without any fake ingredients. I stumbled across a company called Pristine Beauty and I must say I am very much in love. It came in a lot of packaging but I recycled the extra paper and pink shreds into my gift giving box and it will make a very special present:}


The face cream is called ‘Horray Brallywood Butta’. It is sort of ironic that I move to Hollywood and here this product comes across my path. I love the smell, the way it feels on my skin and the price is great. The company was started by a beautiful woman who overcame cancer. She was determined to make a product with out any carcinogens. She likes the old Hollywood flair, hence the name of the face cream and her cute website. While on her website I saw her ‘Take a whiff’ deodorant and decided to also give it a try. It is fantastic. The deodorant is a bit pricy {I think $22} but she said it can last for quite some time. Its great too because it is not white or flaky but has a nude color and goes on smooth. I have been through the ringer experimenting with natural deodorant. As a dancer I need protection but I never had any success. I always had to reapply and that sometimes didn’t help. Well today I took class and had rehearsal and I smell great, like one of those orange sherbet drinks! Cheers to a new beauty regime.

Face Brushing:}

Daily rituals…

These are my face brushes. Everyday {and sometimes every other day} I use one of these on my face to circulate my blood and revitalize my face’s energy.


I was first introduced to face brushing by my sisiter-in-law. She used it for some time and I could visibly see her skin was smoother! This was all I needed to know I had to make face brushing part of my entire “body brushing” routine. Thank you Kim and Happy Birthday:}!!!!


I also try to do my face exercises daily. I brush and exercise my face because it makes me feel  SO refreshed and I know I am doing something healthy for my face’s future:}


Face care = Happy face:}

Face Steam

My weekly routine…..

This is my face steamer. I TRY to do this once a week. I would love to do it more but so far I have been sticking to Thursday after teaching. I use Himalayan crystal salt in the water or lemon juice and sometimes just plain H2O. My face  feels so smooth after a steam. I sit in the bathroom- put on nice music and relax:} This takes me about 20 minutes. {That is set up and steam}

{I am on the look out for a steamer that does not have plastic}
