Hello Dearest World,

Today was very interesting seeing as I just sat in my own little world and read a great book in the sun. I do want to say that I dearly apologize that I haven't posted in so long, however, I have some super exciting stuff to share with  you guys. Here, is a all natural way to clean your pores and even make some tea at the same time. Maybe its time for a girls night out! I got this awesome natural "recipe" off this adorable blog (http://www.pktaswegrow.com) you should definitely check it out especially if you are a mother, she has tons of cute stuff on here!

Natural Pore Cleanser
It made my skin glow as well as making it so soft! You have to try it.

What you will need:
     2 cups of water
     1 small pot 
     Handful of Basil (fresh or not either is great although I always use fresh)
     Equal amount of Lavender (fresh or not again I always use fresh)
     3 Tablespoons of Baking soda

What to do:
     Step 1: Take your 2 cups of water, Lavender oil, and basil, and pop them into a pan on the stove
     Step 2: Turn on stovetop to medium and let the mixture boil for about 7-9 minutes
     Step 3: Once mixture has boiled for that time, pull off burner and pour into a bowl
     Step 4: Pull back your hair, and place face over bowl letting the steam hit and absorb into your face. Do this for about 10 minutes. It's super relaxing and smells SOOOO GREAT!
     Step 5: Take your baking soda, and a little bit of water, and make into a paste. Massage thoroughly into skin. Let it dry.
     Step 6: Wash baking soda off with cool water. Your skin will feel fresh and new as well as insanely soft and if you do this 1-2 times a week your blackheads and irritations will be saying BYE!
 
 
This really does work you guys and even if you have sensitive skin like me it feels natural and great! Im going to be posting everything I discover this summer so please follow me!!! I love you guys, and remember KEEP SMILING! 

Love,
