How to remove a scar with silicone scar sheets by Nedd Innovations

 Hi ya Gorgeous!

Have you ever wanted to remove a scar that makes you feel less than your best? Maybe you have a scar from a c-section, or acne, post surgery or keloids. 

Meet Nedd Innovations Silicone Scar Sheet.


I bought this on Amazon to work on removing a scar on my hand. I've been testing it out for several days. My favorite way to use the product is to apply at night and sleep with the silicone scar sheet on for as long as possible. 

Since the scar is on my hand and I'm always doing something, I find that wearing over night is best for me. 

Using the silicone scar sheet is simple! Each sheet is hygienically sealed in a package. You can cut the amount that you need to cover your scar completely and then put the unused sheet back in the package for use later. 

The silicone scar sheet has a sticky side that you simply apply and adhere to your skin with the scar. Then wear it for up to 12 hours or as long as possible. 


I'm wearing the silicone scar sheet on my finger and you can barely see it! The recommended use of the silicone strips is about 8 to 12 weeks for new scars. Though a large or older scar may take up to 3 or 6 months. The continual treatment of the scar and heal with time.

For me, so far so good! I'll update in a few months so you can see the results!

How to Make Easy Organic Homemade Raspberry Liqueur

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

Have you ever wanted to make your own organic liqueur but didn't know where to start? This easy organic process is simple and makes a great Christmas gift! 


 

Here is the recipe I used to make homemade raspberry liquer!

4 cups fresh or frozen raspberries - I really recommend using the organic 

1 cup organic cane sugar - and a wee pinch more for good measure 

1 (750-milliliter) bottle 80-proof vodka - I used the cheapest stuff Walmart sold - though, I can see value in using something of better quality. 

I processed mine in a large dark glass Ball storage jar. 

It's possible it's up for grabs and debate what type of bottle to use. 

I think glass is better than plastic. 

Amazon supply list: 

Raspberries - shop local! 

Cane Sugar https://amzn.to/3y4AnEW 

Ball jar https://amzn.to/3E7o7rs 

Vodka - shop local! I stored mine in a cool, dark, pantry shelf. Refrigerating is a possibility as I know a friend's channel did so. 

Mix all ingredients together. Shake. Label the start date. Store in cool, dark place. Every other day or so - shake again. 2 months from now - it's ready to strain and enjoy! Gift or sip!

Anti-Inflammatory Meal Prep - Testing Something I Learned on YouTube

Hi ya Gorgeous! 

Well, welcome to a test run of eating anti-inflammatory nutrient dense foods for the week. I was searching for recipes and found @Kayla Chandler - this video https://youtu.be/BrtHl1wa_Jc is what I am basing my menu on. 


 

I do like sweet potatoes though I don't think I have ever eaten this many in a week! Here's to trying something new and healing with food! 


 

All the chopping of hard sweet potatoes dulled my knife - so I bought a new one on Amazon https://amzn.to/36WPcPa

How to Start 2022 Off Right - Write It | Live It | Journal it with this available on Amazon

Hi ya Gorgeous!

In preparation for 2022, I'm sharing this journal now at the beginning of the month so you have time to grab one and follow along in the goal setting series coming up  this week. The plan is to begin writing the vision, and making it plain so you can run with it.

These are some strange days. You can navigate them better when you have a map, that you create for your family, health, finances and future. Here's how King James version says : And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

 Writeth it. Readeth it. Often! When you use the GPS, you check it often when in a new territory, right? That's where we are at right now. New territory. You need to navigate the new season we are in and be prepared for any goodness or tribulation that comes your way. Best way to plan is to write it down.

Get some copies today for yourself and your family or friends - then join me online as we do some planning together!

Get yours on Amazon here:

How to use Pix! Skintreats for Winter Skincare Help

Hi ya Gorgeous! 
Happy Tuesday and welcome to your Monday blog, on Tuesday. These are some strange days. Woke up to a coyote or rogue dog tore up my peiby's couch on the patio and drank up all of her water. Not the biggest of deal, though still strange because in all these years, nothing like that has ever happened! 
 
So I am just now getting this post up even though I meant it for Monday. Any one else over whelmed with the doo dah of life? No matter how you feel, self care is important and one of my favorite ways to invest in me is skincare. I always have, and always will, remove my makeup at the end of the day and practice a good skincare routine daily! 



 
Thank you for tuning in today - and - if you could, would you please subscribe and share? Every wee thumbs up and comment makes  YouTube algorithm see the channel. I appreciate you! Now - this short is a quick tip to help you. If you are a Target, Ulta Beauty, or Amazon shopper, you may know Pix! Skincare and beauty.
 
 
I love the clean cosmetics that Pix! makes! The Pix! hydrating milky mist is perfect for daytime hydration - any - time of the day! The Pix! Glow Tonic is a classic from this brand. You can use it twice a day if you are more oily.
 
 
I use it only at night because my skin is dry. In the winter skin can become dull, and the Pix! Glow Tonic is a perfect way to do light exfoliation daily in the night time when you won't be as bothered by sun. Enjoy and let me know in the comments what your favorite winter skin care switches you use.

FLOTUS Friday: Brows with Milani brow fix kit

 

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Thank you so much for tuning in today! It is another live video as I have been going every which way!
I'm starting a Friday series - FLOTUS Friday to be exact where I track and review the beauty of the First Lady of the United States.
 



 

Today, it's Melania's brows with Milani brow fix kit. Yes, I have the e.l.f. brow gel as well and will do in a different video. I bought these both at my local Burbank CVS store.
 
 

 
Overall - I like it! The gel is wearing well and not smudging. There is a bit of a learning curve versus using powder, which is my favorite. I am liking the look and feel. Note to new users, the thinner and firmer the slant tip brush - the better! These two brands are the ABH (Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow dupes!)




Enjoy the video - happy Friday the 13th and here is an Amazon affiliate link to get some Milani brow fix kit for you too!

 Finally - happy Friday the 13th!

Pickled Eggs! How to Make Homestead Heart's Recipe for Homemade Holiday Gifts!

Hi ya Gorgeous! 
When would now be a good time to get started on making some beautiful, hand crafted, tasty, home made gifts for the holidays? 

 
 
 Remember, no matter what it looks like in the world, you can choose joy and create meaningful moments and memories for your loved ones! I still think it's going to be the best year ever! 2020 is just coming in slowly to awesomeness. 
 

 
 
 Everything I learned about making these is from my Mom, and she learned from Homestead Heart. I absolutely love her channel- please check it out here: https://youtu.be/W3BOzmweKys 
 
Recipe: 36 boiled eggs  - 12 per quart jar
Wide mouth glass quart jars 
1 cup apple cider vinegar (for bonus flavor) 
1 cup white vinegar 
1 cup water 
3-4 bay leaves 
1/2 tsp dry mustard powder 
1 tsp turmeric 
1 tsp garlic powder NOT granules 
1/2 tsp salt *do not use iodized salt - use canning or kosher or himalayan 
1 tsp or tablespoon of red pepper flakes - add heat depending on your taste 
FRESH garlic pieces, or jalapeno slices to layer in jar Louisiana red hot sauce - about 1/4 cup per jar to top off brine with. 
 
REMEMBER to do the AIR BUBBLE - if you do not have a fancy tool, just use a butter knife. 
 
Final step - you MUST leave this in the back of the fridge, hidden away from sight for a minimum of TWO WEEKS. The eggs need ample time to pickle and marinate in the sauce and be zesty and delicious! The "how to" is in the video - enjoy watching - and please let me know in the comments if you make this recipe!

How to wear fragrance in today’s day

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Thank you for tuning in today and special shout out and thank you to the new subscribers! I appreciate you joining in for the "Summer of Somethin'!" 



Today's video I share some favorite scents that I am wearing now. Yes. Wearing now!
Even though there is a fresh 30 day lock down in place, I choose to focus on the good of the situation and possibilities in the outcome. 
If you aren't familiar with Jocko Willink and "good" - then please check out his resources here: https://echelonfront.com/jocko-willink/ 
He has a great podcast, and his Instagram feed is always full of positive encouragement.

I absolutely love fragrance and personally, I think, you could wear it daily, even now, because of the positive scent memories that are ingrained in you from when you wore perfume pre-pandemic.

So give it a try! Use your fragrances now, today, in this day because if not now, when?

Filler’ up Friday - how to add power steering fluid

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Friday and happy beginning of the weirdest Memorial Day weekend ever!

 

I'm getting ready for a road trip and naturally, that means to check the fluids and tires on the ol' family truckster.
I've already checked the oil, radiator and reservoir, windshield wiper fluid, transmission fluid and tire pressure. I noticed when giving the engine a look over - looking for anything funky or out of place, perhaps a hose the is about to crack and showing signs of wear? Nope. Not what I found - what I did discover is that the power steering fluid was low.

I love Lucas Oil products. I'm a fan. When I am at the Walmart or auto store, it's what I go for without question. I'm not sponsored or paid to say loving things about the brand, it's just good stuff. Lucas Oil products are about the same price as other major brands and in some cases may be just a dollar or so more. Totally worth the price and satisfaction!

Part 2 - Stripping box color: does vitamin C and dandruff shampoo work?

Hi ya Gorgeous,

So, it's been a looooong time coming for me to do part 2 of this video. I just repeated the steps to lighten the "too dark" dark brown hair of mine that if you ask me, looks black.

 I want a lighter brown, somewhere in the 4 range, maybe 4.5 for summer so I am starting the lightening process now to make the weird orangey stage happen sometime after Passover and then come May birthday month - I've got the rich honey brown I"m looking for! Please let me know in the comments if you have any other tips!

DIY lip balm - Because Winter Lips Need It!

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Happy Monday! Oh. How I love Mondays! Except this one in particular. Late, late, late last night I got in from Park City Utah. I had spent a long weekend at the Sundance Film Festival. Good times.
Though I really struggled with the weather - the altitude freezing temperature combination was a havoc wreaker!

 Which brings me to today's post - the need to have ample moisturizer with you at all times. I think I went through an entire tube of chapstick while there. Technically, this area is considered a high desert. Not sure how they got to that conclusion but what I do know is that it's very very dry even though it's  covered in snow.

So it got me thinking about ingredients and the need to make my own lip balms. Like making my own lotion because then I know what is really in it and going on my skin.

I like using bees wax pastilles,  coconut oil and a cleaned out pot from a different product that way I am reusing plastic. (I think plastic is the bane of our generation. What was once meant to help has become the greatest detriment to a global citizenry! Or so says I.)

I melt those together, maybe mix a lil scrape of used lipstick tube into the base for a hint of color and then pour into the container.

So I'm getting ready to make a batch and was looking for a new recipe. Maybe something more specific to making my own lip products and came across a blog post from Wellness Mama.



Holy smokes. This gal has got it dialed in and her description of how to make your own lip balm is the step by step instructions you need!  Please use this link to get the WellnessMama recipe and easy to follow instructions for how to make your own healthy lip products!
Good luck and enjoy the making and mixing of your own makeups!
