My secret to smooth, soft FEET

 
 
 
We all love pedicures I know. Sometimes, depending on the season feet can become more dryer than other times. To be honest I do not get pedicures anymore or atleast not as much as I used to. I keep toe nails and cuticles trim and I scrub my heels weekly in the shower. 
My secret is which I am sure many people know, before I go to bed I dump a big amount of vaseline all over my feet, then put socks on, as soon as you wake up in the morning your feet looks and feel GLORIOUS! If you don't know then it is time to know! What are you waiting for? Try it and come back and leave me a comment :)

Benefit of vaseline:

It forms an occlusive barrier to the natural water loss of our skin. So skin that is dry and chapped is protected from drying elements, enabling skin-softening moisture to build up naturally from inside the skin itself. Vaseline is a mixture of mineral oils, paraffin when blended together, it create something remarkable - a smooth jelly that has a melting point just above body temperature. The result - it literally melts into skin, flowing into the spaces between cells and the gaps in our lipid barrier. Once there, it re-solidifies, locking itself in place.  So it locks all moisture in!

Ballet Pearl Cream Review




Pearl cream makes your skin feel more younger looking. It contains in pearl like capsules, many kinds of amino acids, trace elements, and proteins which are indispensable to the human body and can be absorbed through your skin's epidermal cells. Ballet Brand Pearl Cream is made from precious Tai Lake pearl powder and other specially selected high quality materials and then mixed with natural essence. Frequent application leaves your skin delicate and satiny smooth. Pearl cream prevents your skin from getting coarse and aged, it also removes dark spots and diminishes wrinkles while keeping your skin lubricious and snowy white with a healthy glow.

Directions: Wash your face in warm water, then apply this cream lighty on your face with a gentle massage. Twice a day. Bedtime application specially recommended to enable full absorption.

*Personally I saw a glowing effect after the third day of use and the lotion itself is a thicker feel so not much is needed on skin. A little goes along way. A very inexpensive lotion for all beauties out there.


Ingridients: Stearic Acid, Cetanol Lanolin, Glyceryl Monostearate, Isopropyl Myristate, Sulfur, Perfume, Ion Exchange Water, Glycerine, Potassium Hydroxide and Pearl Powder.

SAVE YOUR TATAS

 





How do you check for breast cancer? With the rapid increase of women who are affected by the disease, it is imperative that women become advocates for their own health. You must become proactive in your health examinations. Monthly self-breast examinations should be apart of your healthy health checkups. If you are unclear as to how to conduct a breast examination, here is how to check for breast cancer and also you can ask your gyno doctor for steps at home check up.

  • stand naked infront of a mirror. Get to know your tatas. Feel them and look for any changes from month to month.
  • check your nipples and even squeeze lightly for any discharge of any kind.
  • make sure you check from the armpit area and sides of the breasts.
  • It is important to know, if you find something early it is a better chance to survive this.
  • Pass the word not only we save our tatas, but we save our mothers, daughters, nieces, aunts and grandmothers.
I lost a very dear family member years ago, let me inspire you and check up asap!

Let's fight this and find a cure!

Thank you so much for reading!

Answer:
define beauty I think everyone is beautiful in some way maybe someone has a face that's not concidered beautiful I bet that person still has the most gorgeous lips you've ever seen, or the longest eyelashes or the perfect brows, also" there's no point in having a PRETTY FACE if you got an UGLY SPIRIT" it takes away from your beauty..someone not good looking can have a sweet way about them that it actually makes me more attracted to them!
