FRIDAY: High Five

It’s Friday friends. We made it through another week. We decorated, crafted, baked, cooked, DIY’d and inspired each other. Now it’s Friday, it’s time to take a little break, re-energize and high five. Here are some new finds I’m high fiving about this week.

PRETTY PLEASE: Serums for Fifty Plus Beauty

At a certain age you can no longer take your skin for granted. You have to take extra steps to protect your skin and hair. Plus, it’s a constant struggle to figure out which products are best suited for these new phases in your life.

PRETTY PLEASE: Relaxing Bath Salts and Invigorating Scrubs

I’ve mentioned that I travel quit a bit for my day job and I just got back from another whirlwind trip. My sweet co-worker and friend, Danielle makes wonderful scrubs, salts, balms and more. She’s basically the ying to my yang. She’s healthy and knows all about natural ingredients and living a more natural lifestyle. Me, not so - much although I try.

PRETTY PLEASE: Mod Podge Make Up Container

Happy Friday everyone. Yesterday I shared my homemade Green Tea Toner and today I want to show you how I made this cute travel container for the toner. I started with an empty loose powder container. I save them because they’re so perfect for holding small items and great for travel. Use them for your earrings and rings, medicine, or even a small amount of hair product.

PRETTY PLEASE: Homemade Green Tea Travel Toner

I’ve always had very oily skin which is a curse and a blessing. The natural oils do seem to help ward off wrinkles but I’m forever blotting my skin. For years I stopped using facial toner but as my skin ages, I find myself using it again. It seems to help combat the oiliness without drying my skin too much.
