Strawberry Body Scrub

· · Leave a Comment

Strawberries are the most sensuous of fruits and what would be better than starting your day with these delicious and invigorating fruits as your scrub. They leave a lingering scent on your body for almost whole day. And, the scrub is not at all difficult to prepare.
Mash 5-6 strawberries and mix adequate amount of cane sugar (jaggery powder). You can add chickpea flour if the mixture is too runny. And, your scrub is ready. You can also add honey and other moisturizing ingredients like coconut oil or almond oil in case of dry weather or dry skin. Your skin would be glowing after the shower.
You can also use the strawberries as hair mask for gloss and shine or enjoy the awesome chocolate strawberry face mask. 

Baking Soda for Acne

· · Leave a Comment

We all know that baking soda is an all-purpose ingredient in the kitchen. It can be used to bring volume to your hair, whiten teeth naturally, as a lip scrub or body scrub, even washing the hair and, what is more, washing clothes and utensils about the house. 
Today, I bring another skin care use of baking soda. This is for acne. Make a paste of baking soda with water and apply to the affected parts anywhere on the body. Wait till it dries off and wash with cold water. Do it at least twice a week but no more than once a day. Your skin will become smooth and acne-free.

Another Exercise for Beautiful Breasts

I do not know how many of you have gone through my earlier post on exercises for firming your breasts and home remedies for making them big. But, not having beautiful and perky breasts are a big low-down for women whether they show it or not. Knowing that your body and all its parts are beautiful brings a different kind of confidence and attraction to the person. So, if you are low on your self-image, you should go through those posts. I am sure they would be of help and I can vouch that they have helped me.
Now, I want to add another exercise which you can do make your breasts firmer and more round. Bring both your palms together and press hard in the namaste position parallel to your breasts and press them as forcefully as you can against each other. This helps in tightening the muscles within the breasts. You might feel that this would be no good. At least I thought so unless I tried it. To see the visible effect, try this sometime in the shower and you would see the immediate change in the position of breasts when you are pressing the hands. Your breasts shift upwards and become more perky and rounded.
