Happy New Year. Happy Valentine's Day. Happy Easter, Happy Mother's Day.
I hope you missed me. I'm making up for lost time, is it working? Nah? OK (hangs head in shame).
I am working on some things that should launch by the end of the summer so I've been a very busy girl. Balancing family, a toddler (he is a combination of at least three people in my book), work and all that is life and my goals and dreams had a girl juggling and figuring it out.
But when I saw how Beyonce' came out with a whole body of work that was Lemonade and as someone said we all have the same twenty four hours, ya girl has to assess her priorities!
I know you love you some you and I also believe you have really been loving on YOU.. So share with me... what have you done for you lately?
Personally, when I feel good it shows and everyone in my space benefits from experiencing me at my best.
Momming (my verb) often consumes me almost completely as balance is not my strong point. I tend to either be way left or way right. So deliberate actions to love on me have become a mandate and sometimes it can be something as simple as doing a Betonite clay mask on either my hair or face or both on a good day :). I have been slowly incorporating more natural products into my regimens with the hope of one day using more natural products than not.
I did a mask yesterday and my face felt so good, it is now soft and smooth! I can't wait to lavish my hair on the weekend.
To make the mask for my face I use half to one teaspoon of Betonite clay along with either the corresponding amount of water or Apple Cider Vinegar or more, depending on the consistency I prefer. I like it as smooth as possible. The hair mask is essentially the same while considering the length of your hair and the amount of product that will be required to fully coat your strands.
I have also tried it with my toothpaste which was okay for me but it hasn't become a regular part of my routine.
A few titbits about Betonite clay:
- Avoid inhaling the dry powder before adding water or Apple Cider Vinegar
- It can be a little messy but I promise it can also be worth it.
- It softens the hair and skin
- It is said to be able to remove toxins from the body
- It is said to control eczema and unclog your pores
- It can be used to exfoliate the skin
- Avoid using a metal spoon as it is said to be most effective if it doesn’t come in contact with metal before use. Mix with plastic, wood or glass
Try the Betonite clay mask today and give me some feed back. I really hope it's as good to you as it has been to me! I purchased mine at Earth Elements in Kingston.
