Healthy Breakfast; Green Tea Facial.

The best way to achieve great skin is through the foods you eat. 

Here I made; (clockwise) green tea, yogurt, steel cut oats, fruit (strawberries & cantaloupe), & eggs.

Green tea is known to be good for your body and your skin. It stops inflammation, stops DNA from being damaged, and stops the sun from burning the skin. It contains EGCG, which is a powerful anti-oxident. Anti-oxidents fight off free radicals, which cause damaging of the skin, aging, and illness.

Yogurt is loaded with nutrients like, iodine, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, B vitamins, protein, and many others. Zinc is especially good for treating acne, and just plain good for your skin.

Steel cut oats are not cooked and rolled flat, unlike regular oatmeal, so they maintain all of their nutritional value. I sprinkled some brown sugar on mine to sweeten it up and make it extra yummy!

Strawberries have a high concentration of vitamin C. And are equipped with anti-oxidents to also fight off free radicals.

Cantaloupe is also a good source of vitamin C, and increases anti-oxidents in your body.

Eggs also have vitamins A and E that help with general cell growth and absorbing free radicals.

After drinking all of my green tea, I took the tea bag, without draining the remaining water from it, and I rubbed it all over my face. After wetting my face, I split open the bag and rubbed the tea leaves on my face. (Since my face was still wet from the green tea, the leaves had something to stick to.) I let it dry, and then exfoliated as I rinsed the tea leaves off of my face. My face felt extremely soft afterwards.

Meet the Trio!

Tucker

Lucy

Nolan

These are my babies! Me and my boyfriend Adam adopted Tucker first, two summers ago from a ferret shelter. He's around 5 years old! He's definitely the most affectionate out of the three. Next was Lucy. She was an unplanned purchase from a pet store :) We never planned on having more than one, but I couldn't resist; she was so cute! She is about 9 months old now. She's such a lady. And Finally there is Nolan. I couldn't resist his cuteness either! He was so small he fit in the palm of my hand :D Shortly after we got him we noticed he was sick. But after a hefty vet bill, he's much better and has grown so much!!
They are all so fun and hilarious. Each have their own unique personalities. I love them and wouldn't trade them for the world! ^_^

New Vintage Vanity.

I just bought this vintage 1930s vanity along with this chair today. It's sooo cute! I plan on getting a mirror to hang on my wall over it, but for now I have a small makeup mirror to sit on the desk. I also need to change the knobs and get a cushion for the chair. I'm thinking fake crystal or rose knobs to replace the current ones, and a cushion to match the lamp shades! Speaking of, I think the lamps look really good on each end (I got them from target). And yes, that's a Darth Vader alarm clock. I'm a bit of a Star Wars nerd :)!


Although I have my laptop set on it, it really isn't the best to double as a vanity and a desk, since I can hardly put my legs under the middle piece. Buuuuut I still love it! It's perfect for storing all my makeup supplies and other miscellaneous things :)
