Spring cleaning

Hello everyone!
Today is the first day of SPRING and it's officially spring cleaning season!
Spring cleaning is the practice of thoroughly cleaning a house in the springtime.  However, you don�t have to stop with cleaning your house; your skin care regimen needs some spring cleaning too.
1.  Spring cleaning is a great opportunity to clean out old beauty products.  Old products can harbour bacteria and lose their effectiveness.
Check the dates on your products and toss the following:
  • Anything past the expiration date
  • Products that have changed consistency, colour, or smell
  • Mascara tubes older than three months
  • Dry products
  • Old make-up brushes and sponges
  • Anything with an SPF older than one year 
    2.  Spring is a good time for deep exfoliation.  Here are three DIY exfoliation recipes that will leave your skin ready for dresses and sandals:
    Nourishing body scrub
    Yummy facial scrub
    Simple hand/body scrub
    3.  Adjust your skin care routine to reflect the season.
    • Higher temperatures result in oilier skin.  It�s important to use a lighter moisturiser during spring and summer.
    • Use a lighter foundation and lighter, brighter make-up colours.
    • Sunscreen is important all year, but it is essential in the spring and summer. 
    I hope you find this helpful.  If you have more beauty tips for transitioning from winter to spring, leave them in the comment section.  

    Happy first day of spring!

    A typical brunette?

    Hello everyone! At one point or another, we've all heard the stereotypes about hair colour.  Such as; �Blondes have more fun� ,   �Redheads are wild� , and   �Brunettes are trustworthy�.   Of course, every now and then we do fall into those categories,  but can hair colour really have an effect on our personality?  Totally, a new hair colour can enhance your mood, style, and confidence, as well as change the way other people perceive you. Now, personally, I have dyed dark brown hair.  I'm a natural brunette, but my natural colour is a couple of shades lighter than my dye.   I'm considering changing it to a soft medium brown, for the warmer months ahead.    If you too are looking for your perfect hair colour check out    Madison Reed 's   website for  hair dye  advice .     Madison Reed ,  is a hair care company that specialises in   hair dye .   Their dye is a healthier  s...
