Pamper Your Feet

Our feet should not be left out of our beauty regiment. Our feet can benefit from some tender loving care. After all they get us from one point to the next. So let’s take some time and exfoliate those dry cracked overworked, tired feet.

Here is what you will need:

• Dish Pan
• Painters Sand Sponge
• Soft Towel
• Fresh squeezed lemon juice
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Epson Salt

Make a massaging cream with olive oil and Epson salt.  Mix the two ingredients together until you have a oily paste.
Remove all of your dry calluses with the painter’s sponge before you soak your feet in warm water.   
Next rub lemon juice all over your feet with a cotton ball.  Allow the lemon juice to set on your feet for a few minutes to help exfoliate and remove all the dead skin cells.   
Place your feet a tub of warm water and allow them tootsies to soak and relax the days strain away.

After your feet have soaked for several minutes remove one foot at a time placing your foot on the dry towel and massage in the olive oil and Epson salt paste. This will buff away all of the remaining dead skin cell and leave you with smooth soft feet. Once your have massaged your foot well sit it back in the tub of warm water. Repeat with the other foot. Once both feet have been done towel them off and you will be left with some happy tootsies.

44 Years Young

I’m another year young today (44). What helps keep me looking and feeling young is Aveeno moisturizer products. The one that I use daily is Aveeno positively ageless lifting and firming moisturizer. This skin moisturizer keeps my fine line at bay and helps protect me from the sun. I use it daily under my make-up. It helps t make me feel the 44 young that I am.

This is a personal review based on my excitement for a product. I was not paid or given compensation for this product review.

Lemon Juice Astringent

When it comes to finding good beauty products you don’t have to look any further than your kitchen cabinets.



One of my favorites to use is fresh squeezed lemon juice. The high content of Vitamin C and citric acid in lemons makes it an effective skin care aid.


It helps:

• Exfoliate by removing dead skin cells
• Brightens
• Lightens acne spots
• Lightens age spots
• Removes blackheads
• Stimulates collagen


Squeeze fresh lemon juice into a glass jar and dab onto face with cotton ball. Let it sit on face for 10 to 15 minutes, rinse with warm water. Follow by a moisturizer of choice. Fresh squeezed lemon juice will last for 4 to 5 days in the refrigerator. If you have a large batch of juice you can freeze the juice in ice trays and then place the cubes in a freezer bag. Thaw one cube as needed.
