All natural facial scrub

Once winter comes around it's over for my skin! I'm really careful with what I put on my face though because I'm terrified of a break out or a reaction. I love scrubs but always been scared to use them on my face. I was so thankful to find an all natural DIY scrub that is so easy and works wonders!! My skin is so soft, I'm loving it. 

You'll need 4 things:
A little bowl to mix everything up in
Honey
Sugar
Lemon 

1. Put a little less than 1/4 a cup of honey into a bowl. I used raw honey which you don't usually find in stores. It has so many benefits and has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties! Love! 

2. Put teaspoons of white sugar into the honey until it is the right consistency.
(I've heard of scrubs used with brown sugar but I haven't tried that yet!) 

3. I put a few drops of lemon juice into the mix because I thought it was a little thick and the lemon fixed that! 

4. Use as a regular facial as you would on your face and neck. Just make sure you don't scrub too hard! Leave it on for about 5 minutes to hydrate your skin!

5. Lastly I found washing it off with warm water made it a lot easier to come off! 

And you're all done! My skin is feeling so hydrated and much better! Ugh, can't stand a dry winter face!

January obsessions

I hate the cold but I love winter trends. These are 3 things I've been dying for in the month of January! 

Capes. 
I am on the hunt for a cape!! They make you look so chic and trendy. I'm making it a goal for myself to buy one before January is over. Perfect winter essential! 






Lace up boots. 
When I think of winter I think of boots. Put the uggs away and throw on a pair of tall boots and it makes you look so much more put together. I love the bad-ass look lace up boots give.

Structured handbags. 
It's no secret I'm handbag obsessed. I love a nice structured bag. I got my latest one from H&M and my older one from TJ Maxx. It was love at first sight! So perfect for the winter!
