My first how-to video! (Yes, there will be more.) To celebrate my chocolate face mask being in this month's Goddess Provisions box, I thought I'd share with you a video on how to use a face mask. I also talk about what else you can mix in a dry mask (besides water), as well as the different face masks I offer (charcoal, chocolate, and rose) and the benefits of each. Basically, this video is everything you ever wanted to know about face masks. Enjoy!
My clay face masks may say "just add water," but you can use so many more ingredients with them. I like to switch it up depending on the season and what my skin needs. My favorites are: aloe vera juice, apple cider vinegar, green tea, honey, lemon juice, milk, oil, rosewater, and yogurt.
This month in florapothecarie land, my chocolate masks are appearing in the October Goddess Provisions box!!! And on October 21 & 22, I'll be in NYC for the W.E.L.L. Summit.
As if we need any more reasons to love chocolate! We know it's delicious, but did you know it's also great for your skin? Rich in antioxidants, cocoa powder has many beauty benefits.
Happy Autumnal Equinox!
I love the Fall. It's probably my favorite time to be in New England. I love apple picking, Fall festivals, leaves changing colors, snuggling fireside and roasting marshmallows.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of Fall, a time for inward reflection and balance. As I began to think over the past year, I realized I’ve made some major changes in my life (for the better) and shed a whole lot of negativity — negative people, negative thoughts. But it’s still something I have to keep working on. The Autumnal Equinox is the perfect time to seek balance. Here is a simple ritual to help you banish negativity and draw in positive energy.
I made over 2,000 chocolate masks for the Goddess Provisions October box. Here's a peek behind the scenes at how I did it, and who helped!
I can’t say enough in praise of Jojoba (pronounced ho-ho-buh) Oil. It’s a bit more expensive than many other base or carrier oils, but well worth it for its moisturizing, anti-aging, hypoallergenic properties.
