I was tired of spending so much money on small jars of face cream and not knowing what all those long names or harmful ingredients they have on the label. Look to Google and free web sites for all you need to know about making your own. Aren't people great at sharing?
I have learned so much and am making my own day and night creams, skin treatments, body lotions, even my own soap from scratch. They have become so popular, I make them for friends and presents. Buy some nice small baskets from the dollar shop, cellophane sheets, and some curling ribbon to package them. They look great! Save all your old jars and start making your own.

I shop online from a very reputable wellness company. They make green and natural products for all aspects of your daily life. They sell all types of cleaning products, make-up and beauty products, vitamin treats and shampoo for dogs, candles and air freshners, weight loss products, energy bars and cereals, all types of bath products, supplements, oral care products, and items to stock the medicine cabinet.
I am very confident using these knowing I am not harming the environment by using chemicals and toxins, and best of all I know there aren't any toxins and chemicals going into my families bodies. I am also saving money versus buying these types of products at the stores.
I shop online and have them all delivered to my home. It's so easy and I love the fact I am shopping at home and not spending my hard earned money burning expensive gas. So I am saving lots of money in more ways than one.
Anyone interested can email me and I will give you all the info.

I don't make anything other than a concoction I put on my face which includes an egg yolk, 1 tsp warm honey and 1 tsp olive oil. I put it on my face with a makeup brush; let it dry for about 30 minutes and wash off with warm water. I do this about once a week and the pores around my nose don't seem to be so noticeable and makes my face really soft. Other than that I use a lot of vaseline on my feet and use a lot of olive oil.
I refuse to spend a lot of money on products that don't work any better than things in my kitchen. I was looking for a concealer last week for a couple bown spots on my face; one that I could try before buying. Ulta was asking $20 for one small concealer. No Way!
