Ohhh HONEY!

Happy Diva Day!!!  a.k.a...Steak and cheese day (Subway Lover's)  a.k.a... MONDAY!


Without further a do...... Let's jump right into it......  The one tip of the week, that is meant for you AND ONLY YOU...


I firmly believe you can't take care of everyone else, if you don't take care of yourself...so I, The Trendy Domestic declare Monday's... YOU DAY!!!   Help yourself get threw the week by starting it off with a little pampering! Every Monday, tune in to The Trendy Domestic blog for the "YOU" tip of the week...and it all starts TODAY!  This week, my tip is more like a... "word of the week" than tip!  
$7.00 worth of AMAZING!  :)  


HONEY! 


That's it.  Not a huge secret! If you have ever tried it...YOU LOVE IT..... If you haven't.... YOU WILL LOVE IT!!! Pure Honey is one of the most soothing facial cleanser I have ever used! I have to give props to my sister-in law Emily (who I call, Tripper Fierce:D) for showing me the light... She's been using honey on her skin for years...and swears by it (I do too...now :p)  I had always assuming plastering honey on my face, would be messy and sticky! NOT THE CASE!  It's as easy as any over the counter facial cleansers, and leaves your skin looking and felling absolutely AMAZING!    


I suggest to start, you try JUST HONEY.... It's quite soothing and relaxing, leaving your skin feeling sooo soft, so fresh and so clean! BUT...  If you're a spa girl, looking for maybe a homemade "microdermabrasion" sort of thing..... (I call that my homemade Mic-HO-dermabrassion) Try this: 


The only HONEY my husband needs!  :)  ME!!  
1/4 cup of honey
2 Tbsp. brown sugar (raw B.S if you like a real good scrub!)

  1. Stir the two ingredients together until completely blended
  2. Spread your Mic-HO-dermabrasion on your face
  3. Put on your fav TV show (RHWOC, American Idol, Jersey Shore.....whatever your poison!) Sit back and relax for about 10-20 minutes!  Wash your face with warm water, moisturising is optional....but I think you will find, you don't need it!  

And...TA DA!!!  20 minutes later, you look & feel FAB!!!   


No botox, no expensive creams..... or painful procedure!  HONEY!  The one word you need to remember and the one thing you need in your cupboard at all times......


Make sure you thank yourself for taking some YOU time!


Talk to you soon
