You NEED this in Your Skincare Collection
Let me start off by saying, I am not a “Sales Rep” for this brand, nor have they paid me to write any of this. Quite frankly, they didn’t even ask me to (which they couldn’t have anyways since I’ve never spoken to anyone from their company EVER). This is just my 100% honest opinion after using some of these products for months.

HOLY GRAIL EVERYTHING
Hey, all you beauty lovers out there, (I bet you thought I was gonna go Carole Baskin on you there, didn’t ya?) :D My name is Esther Georges and I am here to share what I consider to be my HOLY GRAIL products, with you! Now, I must admit, I don’t do this a lot at all, so I genuinely do hope you guys will appreciate it. Skincare is beyond important to me and I do love to take care of my skin, so I will talk about those today. As far as makeup products go, I would love to share my kingdom of gazillion makeup powerhouses with you, but I will keep it light, considering only few of my things I actually do count as the “Holy Grail” when it comes to all things beauty. Let’s jump right into it, I guess. :D Honestly, I used to call myself a morning person, but nowadays, (perhaps it’s the weather getting to me) it takes me double the caffeine to get me going and extra cold water on my face to really wake me the heck up. With that being said, I have to mention my 2X Starbucks Coffee that I so happily take in the morning, which really is what’s responsible for keeping me alert during the day and focused on taking care of my skin and getting the contour right ;) (Totally joking, although have to admit I am more of a “blush n’ go” kind of girl, at least for now, with the mask wearing situation).

Top Wallet Friendly Beauty Products for anybody!
A lot of us are late bloomers when it comes to skincare. Skincare is hygeine and beauty, and so much more. Growing up, my dad told me to wash my face with Dove Bar Soap and that's it. He warded me away from the chemical skincare of the early 2000's such as Proactive. He simply told me, "all you need is Dove, look at my face-I don't break out."

It's time I spill the tea, I use tea bags for beauty
Beauty starts with skincare, my secret is (tea bags). Tea-time has always been my favorite, it's a natural remedy that eases the soul. I mean think about it! when you're looking for a nice way to relax tea-time always hits the spot. When you're sick, tea is there for you. Let alone all the natural ways it helps ease digestion. With all it's natural and healing properties I began to use tea in more ways than just boiling a pot of tea with my morning breakfast on a chilly day. It's time I spill the tea, I use tea bags for beauty. Tea bags for my eye bags, is the best thing I've ever done for my puffy eyes. I find that green tea works the best for this type of use. Green tea isn’t harsh on the skin, definitely don’t use anything acidic or citrus, any other natural tea bag will work just fine. After you're done brewing your tea, set your tea-bag aside and let it cool for a few minutes longer than three minutes and you’re in the clear. Let the excess water drain and get ready to enter zone -bliss. Now that you’re tea bag is fully infused with some warm water and all its natural properties are ready to be put to use it’s time to place them on your eye bags.Now you want to leave them on your eyes 5-15 minutes and let the herbal magic work while you relax and sip on your tea. Of course the longer you let it sit the more it will help ease puffiness, redness, and darkness of the eye bags. These tea bags are a perfect fit to say goodbye to cucumbers and hello to tea bags. Do expect some dripping so I recommend that you have a towel in hand in case the tea bag begins to cry, pat the dripping gently to let the rest of your face get some of that magic healing action. My skin always stays soft, refreshed, young, and healthy when I use tea bags as a natural home skin-care beauty ritual. My favorite use is taking the tea bags with me into the bath. I LOVE taking hot tea-bag baths. I recommend lavender tea or green tea (again) for the most relaxing and smell good baths you can possibly imagine. Soaking in baths is not something I’ve invented. In fact they do this in many top of the line luxuries and fun spas, specially abroad, like in Japan, known for its natural beauty products and picture perfect skin. The feeling of soaking in tea water is incredible; it makes your skin feel so hydrated and helps heal any wounds and release dead skin cells. Doing tea baths has greatly improved my outer skin glow. If tea can heal your insides by digesting it, imagine the good it can do for your outside appearance. Now run your bath like usual, and bring in 2-5 tea bags with you and let those soak as the tub fills, you’ll notice that the tea bags give the water a beautiful tint and delicious smell. Be careful not to pierce the tea bags, if you don’t want to clean up herbs after your shower. Now feel free to add anything else into your bath and get ready to soak up all of the tea’s magical goodness.

Color My Skin At 57
At seventeen I went thru a window. My mothers whole life after that was to help me disguise the scars. My beautiful seventeen year old face took eighteen stitches around my eye and six on my chin. The cavern that was created down my nose...nothing could be done. It would heal. As soon as we got home from Mexico, we had been visiting family, it became my mothers mission that I would learn to use make-up in a professional way. The scars needed to be hidden. Not really for my sake, but for hers. I was a more natural girl. I never really wore a full face. But now, I would learn.
