Pure Green Clay Mask

 

 

 

 

You know those store bought facial mask packets that smell amazing but give no results what so ever? Well today I am sharing my favorite DIY facial mask made with green clay (Bentonite Clay) and apple cider vinegar. I have been using this mixture for a couple years now. "Indian Healing Clay" is a deep pore cleanser, which aids in clearing acne but can also be used for body wraps, foot soaks, insect bites, and much more!

 

 Here are the steps:

Mix equal parts of clay & vinegar in a non metallic bowl. This gives it its beautiful green color that I love so much. After you spread it over your face, leave it on for about 20 minutes. You will start to feel a tightening sensation as the mask dries. Rinse with warm water. You will notice redness in your face but don't worry it will go away after about 30 minutes. Afterwards your face will feel smoother and cleaner than ever. You should feel relieved, all the dirt and toxins in your face are gone. If you don't believe me read the reviews for yourself!

 

 

This product is seriously the best of the best. Instead of a little packet with a pretty design on the front and an extensive list of ingredients that most of us are clueless to, Indian Healing clay is the alternative. Its 100% pure Bentonite clay, which is a detoxifier and with a 1 pound container costing only $6.99 at Whole Foods Market, can be used many times. 



Heat + Fashion

Coming soon to a city near you - The summer - and all the thrill it brings along including the HEAT that will shortly approach us.  For most this is a time that has been long awaited since the previous fall. However we tend to forget the hot and muggy heat that makes our clothes only feel like a burden we must carry on our backs all day long. For me my favorite summer attire is something simple, loose, and light. Now let me reintroduce the T - Shirt Dress. Here are some cute and edgy T- Shirt dresses that can be dressed up or down.

While spring is definitely in the air, it is not all with us yet. These days still call for a winter coat and layers in Philadelphia. I've been contemplating this look for a while now, and today here it is! My fur on leather jacket and vest combination. I have seen numerous blazers and coats this past winter with fur attached. Although I have not purchased the look as a whole, I decided to use my resources available and create the look with my leather jacket and faux fur I gave to my mom as a Christmas gift (If you ever feel to guilty to buy too much for yourself, you can always buy it for someone else and burrow it when needed). These Photos were taken at the Schuylkill river dog park near the Rittenhouse Filter square neighborhoods.

 

Dressing for Snow

Dressing up in the winter can be extremely hard to do; hence the cold weather and wet, snowy conditions. Sometimes you just have to make it work with something comfortable. Tights are such a versatile piece during this time of year for me. I usually dress them down during the day, but can easily dress them up at night with some heels.

Wine + Dine

 

 

My Favorite time of year has come, January - my birthday, although it doesn't feel so special anymore I still love this month and the snow that should come with it. This weekend my Boyfriend & I went to a wine pairing class out in Phoenixville, PA. The Wines were good but cheeses that came along from @Di Bruno Brothers were amazing! I styled a couple comfortable pieces together for a night like this, since I knew my stomach would surely be full after our dinner @Sullivan's.
