An Apple a Day…keeps you healthier!

APPLE photo It has been non-stop for me for 11 days with work and play. I have been traveling to the BEAUTIFUL state of Maine, next a trip to NYC (will share soon about these trips with you) and then back to FLORIDA for more work. We did another one of our signature Pop Up shop at an event with Jacksonville magazine. Yesterday was spent painting pretty faces at my makeup studio.

Today  I am going to celebrate my husbands birthday starting with breakfast in bed.

And for me I am eating clean as I am craving green! Don’t you just love the first bite into a green crunchy apple? God’s edible masterpiece! Last night I shopped the aisles and bought the freshest batch of colorful fruits and veggies. And this week I am going to back on a beautiful food track (with a little bit of his Birthday cake)

Travel and stress takes a toll on your body and skin. Sometimes you have to take a break and treat yourself to all the bounty from a farmer’s market.And feed your body what it needs.

Be well and take time to smell the strawberries,apples and papaya!!!

Bite into a beautiful crisp GREEN apple and or other green fruit you love. Savour the taste on your tongue. I love my apples sliced with a big piece of Brie melted on top.Sensual YUM!

Don’t throw out those glass bottles use them again and again by refilling with pancake syrup  from a larger bottle. Reuse perfume bottles and or make some D.I.Y. spa delights and have them on hand for an awesome spa day or night! I LOVE this type of recycling.photo Thyme

Support a farmer and buy some fresh herbs and cook without herbs and spices from a plastic bottle or jar.

Here are some eco chic tips for your beauty or lifestyle routine.

Wanna make new lipsticks out of old or your fav’ discontinued lipsticks? You’ll need Lipstix Remix a neat and easy kit that allows you to D.I.Y.. This easy and did I say FUN kit makes 4 new lipsticks with a scoop,microwave,pour and freeze.My clients from 8 to 80 years young are stirring it up!

Rooms in your home smell bad? SMOKE? FOOD? PETS? Pour some baking soda in a large baggie. Sprinkle a few drops of your fav’ essential oil and leave closed over night. Pour in a pretty bowl and place in a room in your house. The baking soda will suck up the stinky smell and you’ll love the scent of your room.

Left over water in a water bottle that you don’t want to drink anymore? DON’T water the pavement water a plant. Outside your house,inside your house or in the city you are in.FEEL good about not wasting water!
