Look of the Day, Greens
On the last and final day of the 41st year of my life, I decided to go with a color scheme that I don't usually wear very often. I enjoyed it so much that I think I will be using more green from now on!
Eyes: (from inner corner outward) Village Green, Hoodwinked, & Huntsmen, with Dunes as highlight
Face: foundation in Tan, blush in Merlot
Lips: Berry Shake (All Native Hues, of course)

More Budget Beauty Goodness from the Fridge
I recently discovered a wonderful beauty trick while reading up on natural skin care and herbal preparations. It's so brilliantly simple, and tasty too. Yogurt. Plain, full fat yogurt has so many benefits to skin; I wish I had learned this years ago!
Yogurt is chock full of nutrition for the skin. It contains calcium, zinc, and minerals, as well as fatty acids that not only hydrate thirsty skin, but aid in exfolliation to boot. It's like youth serum in a tub. Ok, not really, but a weekly treatment can go a long way to maintaining a youthful glow.
One to two times a week, apply a thick layer of yogurt to your face, neck, and any other places needing a little attention, and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then, take a washcloth and gently wipe in small circles to complete the exfolliation. Rinse, and Voila! Smoother, more hydrated skin for mere pennies per treatment.

Mehndi
A few weeks ago, my daughter and I treated ourselves to a mehndi cone and had some fun.
Unfortunately, hers became smeared before it had a chance to dry. Guess we're making another trip down to Little India soon for another cone!
