Abracadabra you are now a princess....

Ok so maybe it's not going to be as easy as the title makes out but it makes me feel better =)
So as said previously were doing thins one step at a time in a hope that it sticks a little better and merges way into my chaos i call a routine. I'm starting with weekly appearance challenges, each week i'm going to add one thing to help me feel and look better.

This week it's once a week home facials....
I did this last night as my stick like bones where struggling to hold up my whale like exterior so a long hot soak was very much needed anyway. Now the hippy bus freak side of me cant stand products that come in a tube full of nasties so i opened up my pantry and got creating so ill share my recipes and will add new ones each time i do something different.
At the moment i have that "stunning pregnancy glow" going on you know the one that only non pregnant people talk about cause in reality theres no such thing that "glow" is a mix of the red pulsating lil monsters commonly known as pimples mixed with the grease factory that is my face so i opted for oil friendly recipes.

Now seen its the first week and i didnt want to put myself off before i get started so decided to stick to something nice and simple. I can't even remember the last time i wore make up so no make up removing was required so it was straight into a basic cleanse for this it was a nice n simple rubbing of lemon juice on the skin to remove any crap from the day and break down the oil. For a scrub i used baking soda to remove all the deadness which was followed by a totally scrumpcious mask (yes thats right i taste tested it).

Scrumpcious oil factory friendly mask
1Tablespoon Fresh Yoghurt
1 Tablespoon Raw Manuka Honey
1 Mashed Strawberry

Mix together apply to face and neck and leave for 20mintues then wash it off.

Now today my skin actually looks almost human so it seems to have done something good so maybe its worth that half an hour of relaxing =)

Why am i here?!

Why am i here? Now this is a question i find myself asking often usually when i'm standing looking aimlessly into the fridge with no idea why on earth i'm there, occasionally for more serious matters after reading a cleverly written fictional philosophy book..ps those things are totally the guide to brainwashing the masses (well at least masses who still read things on paper and know what a bookstore looks like). But today i ask it for a different reason because today i started a blog =/ I do not write for other people to read nor am i sure weither i'm comfortable having people read my ramble but life's for the living so here goes....

So it all started when i'm awkwardly draped across the couch feeling like a beached whale (probably looking much worse) hot bothered and swollen. I have assignments up to my eyeballs and more half read books then i can count. I glance around the room there's junk mail and toys sprawled across the room Miss 3 is trying to find a way to swing from the ceiling in order to entertain herself while driving me crazy and the other Lil Miss is no where in sight...why? because shes crushing weetbix up in the bathtub...The man thing sits downs and out of nowhere blurts out something he's recently discovered..."A mans i'll be home in 5 minutes is much like a women's i'll be ready in 5 minutes" now most people would probably shrug this off as a valid point and think no more of it but it got me thinking and i'm always ready in 5minutes it doesn't matter if i'm still in bed and you say were leaving in 5 i'll be in the car waiting within that time. But it wasn't always this way so why is it now? Why has breeding changed so much? Well instead of trying to answer those questions, as much as that would be the easy way out i decided to make a change and seen there's a whole list of changes i want to make and i tend to give up easily that sparked the start of the blog.

So here i am ready or more so trying to tell myself im ready to study hard, have more fun with the kiddlie winks and be a good house wifey all while changing my attitude, my appearance, my eating and my life all one step at a time. If your interested in following my journey and maybe learning a few natural tips & tricks along the way stay tuned, but for tonight i'm going to make the most of not having to do anything and all this can start tomorrow...
