"White On"

Happy New Year, and Valentine's Day too lol. I'm a little behind. I've written TONS of new blogs, but have yet to post any of them. Forgive me?

Today is all about getting whiter teeth without breaking bank! Yes, it is possible, and very simple too. And, best of all, it works :)

What you do is get 1 TEASPOON APPLE CIDER VINEGAR and 1 TEASPOON BAKING SODA and mix them well.

Pour the mixture onto your toothbrush (you read that right). The vinegar's acidity kills plaque-building germs, and the gritty baking soda scrubs stains.

Tomato and Honey Mask

If you've been reading this blog, you'd know that Honey is always the go-to ingredient.

When in doubt, use Honey! It's the best thing for your skin, ever. It takes care of almost everything. Tomatoes are equally as good. Combining these two is such a genius idea; I'm surprised my head hasn't imploded.

Using these two together in a mask will soften and clear your face, and it'll give you a natural looking glow.

Ingredients:

½ a Tomato

2 Tablespoons of Honey

A Mixing Bowl

Steps:

Make sure you mash the Tomato until it's as creamy as it can be.

Stir in the Honey evenly throughout the Tomato.

Apply onto your face and let it sit for 15 minutes.

Rinse your face with cool water to help close your pores.

Use your normal moisturizer.

Your skin will be smooth and glowing when your done!

This super-rich mask also contains vitamin A, C and E, all of which are essential for healthy skin.

Ingredients:

½ a Tomato

½ an Avocado

You'll also need a Blender

Steps:

Blend the Tomato and Avocado together until it has a nice, creamy, consistency.

Smooth evenly onto your face.

Leave on for 20 -30 minutes.
