These two powerful ingredients working together can strengthen, whiten, and make your nails grow longer. Soak nails in 3 drops of olive oil and 2 drops of a half of lemon, twice a week for a month. 



How To Have A Healthy, Glowing Complexion

We've always been told to rinse our faces after washing with a cleanser, facial, and other beauty products with cold water. Cold water isn't only just for the face, its for your internal and outer body! 

When you don't feel like putting on make up, but you still want to look radiant- take a shower like normally with warm water and after you are done washing up, rinse your body and face off with cold water.

Teeth Whitening Ancient Remedy



Sorry for not blogging constantly like usual, but to make it up I will post three new remedies! One for longer eyelashes, another for finger nails, and last but not  least, one for teeth. Speaking of teeth, don't you hate it when your teeth stains wont go away no matter how much you brush? Well I have cheerful news for you! I know a secret into whiten your teeth while at home! Yes, I said at home. I'm going to give you this easy remedy, starting...now.



                    STRAWBERRIES:
Strawberries are more than just a healthy, tasty fruit- it can also whiten your teeth!They  may help whiten teeth because 

they contain 

an enzyme called malic acid, 

which can be found in some 

whitening toothpastes. It also behaves as a natural bacterial 

cleanser! How cool is that? 


                                              Directions:

Smash a strawberry and put it on your teeth

 (it's best to put the smash strawberry on a toothbrush so you 

wont make a mess putting it on your teeth.), wait 

for 5 to 15 minutes, then rinse it off with cold water.

**Usage: Twice a week for how ever many months you need to. Also, strawberries contain acid in it so it can strip away your enamel. I recommend only using this remedy every 3 to six months and doing it twice a week for a month**

So there you have it! Thanks for checking out this post. Till next time, ABR

Carrot Juice To Lighten Your Eyes

)A carrot a day can keep the eye doctor away, saying goes way beyond what you think. I've been researching different methods to lighten your eyes naturally, even though I have green eye contact lenses, I want to have natural hazel eyes even when I'm not having my contact lenses on. I heard of this method, you take a carrot (baby carrots are the best because it doesn't have the hairs and stuff on it.) and place it into a blender and blend it until its liquid. Then you stir until its soupy like and doesn't have clumps in it. Afterwards you pour into an eye drop bottle and put it in the refrigerator. A minute later just put one drop of carrot juice into your eyes. I'm not for sure when you will see results, but I have heard that it takes a shorter time to lighten eyes than honey does. 

Pure Honey To Lighten Your Eyes

Did you know that one drop of honey mix with a little of water can lighten your eyes?! Crazy right, but it's true!  I'll try this "myth" out and see if it works for me (I have really really dark brown eyes) and then I'll update this post to share my experience! Check out the videos below:





Gogi Berries Benefits

You might not have heard of "gogi berries" but they are the best type of berries anyone should eat! Especially if you have a weak immune system. 

Here are some wonderful benefits of gogi berries! 

Before I shall began I have to put out a disclaimer:
There may be some possible herb-drug interactions with goji berries. If you take warfarin (a blood thinner), you may want to avoid goji berries. Goji berries may also interact with diabetes and blood pressure drugs.

When eaten in moderation, goji berries appear to be safe. 
Before adding goji berries or supplements to your diet, discuss your concerns with your health care provider

  • One of the most nutritionally-rich fruits on the planet
  •  Considered to have a complete source of protein
  • A single gogi berry can obtain to 21 trace minerals including: zinc, iron, copper, and calcium.
  • loaded with vitamin C
  • contains more carotenoids than any other food
  • High in fiber
  • has natural anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal compounds.
  • helps eyesight
  • helps lower back pain
  • helps dizziness 
You have to be really careful when buying dry gogi berries 

or gogi juice because some brands claim they are "100%" 

natural but they really aren't.

Skin Lightening Facial Mask (Remedy #1)

This is an Ancient Indian remedy that will work for all skin tones/ skin types. There's a lot of ancient remedies for lightening skin but today I'm just going to tell you one of them.



Materials:

1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
2 teaspoon of plain yogurt

Directions:

Pour the turmeric into a bowl
then add the plain yogurt
stir until it's smooth
Apply to a clean face
wait for 15 minutes

Aloe Vera Facial Firming Mask

We all hate having a sagging face or neck, yet we don't want to spend lots of money trying to fix it. Aloe Vera is a great remedy to tighten skin, actually this plant has a lot of benefits than just tightening skin! 


Materials:

One Aloe Vera Leaf


Directions:


~With a sharp knife, separate a full leaf from the base of the plant. 
~Next, cut the bottom 2 inches (the thickest, juiciest part) off the leaf.  This is what you will use for the mask.
~There will be pointed “teeth” along both edges. Slice down one side removing just the teeth. Now cutting into the leaf from this side, slice it open along its length.  You should end up with the 2-inch section of leaf open like a book.  It will be wet with fresh aloe vera gel inside.  
~ Apply the gel onto your freshly washed face. Take care with the corners of the plant around eyes and other tender areas.
~ As you allow the aloe gel to dry, you will feel a tightening and firming of your skin. 
~Once it has fully dried and the "magic" has been absorbed, rinse your face and apply your favorite moisturizer.
