Between the moist heat outside and the cold dry air inside your skin, especially your face suffer all summer long.  Air conditioning can actually age you because it is drying you out. 
 
Something that will help combatting the drying fatigue to your skin is Phraeda's Marmalade Dreams Facial Cleanser and Calming Toner Duo pack www.sheergoddess.com.
 
The cleanser is very gentle and will not strip your skin of essential oils.  The toner helps to close your pores which helps you retain moisture better. 
 
Don't forget to use a moisturizer with natural ingreidients. Phraeda's Day Dreaming Nights Rich Moisture cream is light enough to use under makeup or can be used alone.  This is also a wonderful under eye moisturizer.  Use it day and night.
 
Don't forget to drink plenty of water and eat watery fruits and vegetables.

Fight Acne-Prone Skin With Bananas

Because bananas are high in anti-oxidants, they are great for fighting acne-prone skin. Below are two rememdies you can do at home to fight acne-prone and/or oily skin:

Banana Mask:

Ingredients:

• 1 banana
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3-5 drops lemon juice

Mash up the banana with a fork and stir in the honey. For best results, use a blender to combine the ingredients. Add 3-5 drops of lemon juice and then apply to a clean face. Let the mask sit for 15 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Then moisturize as normal.

Banana Peel Acne Fighter:

To treat acne, cut a small piece of a banana peel and rub the inside of the peel gently over the acne affected area. Rub the area for five minutes or until the inside of the peel turns brown. Rinse with warm water. Treatment can be done 3 times a day.

Start your Holiday Purchases Now!

When we were growing up, like everyone else I know, up money was always a little tight.  My mom was and still is a creative genius with money, meal planning, and holidays.  We never gave it a second thought that we always had gifts on Christmas Day.  Even through the very lean years, my parents managed. 
 
Recently I asked her how she did it, my mom is a very humble person and acted like it was nothing, but after a glass of wine she spilled her secrets of the holiday planning to me. 
 
My mom bought presents and decorations all year; she framed artwork for each holiday covered pillows in holiday themed material.  All year my mom did this; we were blissfully unaware and thought we were rich.
 
This is a great idea; it is economical and time saving.  www.sheergoddess.com is a great place to start picking up gifts right now.  Create a stock pile in your closet.  Woman love beauty products and these natural toners and moisturizers are sure to please. 
 
Another tip, scarves, sweaters, and boots are really cheap right now.  You can buy them on line and tuck them away.

Wrinkles...eeeek!

It is funny to me that wrinkles are considered to some kind of an honor, a badge of life well lived, that we have somehow earned them.  We have wrinkles because we worry about things like our families and money, we are stressed out about work, we lose sleep over silly things like getting the plumbing fixed or buying new windows.  We all know that aging is a part of life, but does it have to tattoo our faces in the form of wrinkles?
 
Getting enough sleep is essential to your health and appearance. While you sleep your body - inside and out heals itself. The resting part of your day is the only part of the day that your body isn't under some kind of stress.
 
When you don't get enough sleep, your body produces cortisol which in turn creates wrinkles, something we all eventually have to deal with and try our hardest to smooth them.
 
www.sheergoddess.com has a wonderful nighttime solution for anti aging.  Phraeda's Marmalade Dreams Facial Cleaner and Wild Oats and Honey Calming Facial Toner are a very mild cleanser and toner perfect for more mature skin.  Oats and honey are both natural anti-inflammatory and the delightful scent of marmalade is relaxing for a deeper sleep. 
 
Other things that may help...
 
Don't drink caffeine after 2:00 pm.
Only have one alcoholic drink - it disrupts your sleeping pattern.
Keep spicy food to a minimum especially after 7:00 pm.
Drink water and fruit juice all day.
Write you’re to do list before you to bed, keep it by your bed and write things you may have forgotten earlier.
Always say your prayers and give thinks for one more day - good or bad.
 
Sleep well, XO Ann
