17She girds herself with strength [spiritual, mental and physical fitness for her God-given task] and makes her arms strong and firm. 18She tastes and sees that her gain from work [with and for God] is good; her lamp goes not out, but it burns on continually through the night [of trouble privation, or sorrow, warning away, fear, doubt and distrust]. 27She looks well to how things go in her household, and the bread of idleness (gossip, discontent, and self pity) she will not eat.
Proverbs 31:17-18, 27 Amplified Bible

I was a little leery of ordering these due to the low price. I had nothing to worry about! These brushes are luxurious! I love them so much that I want to buy more, but don't have room for any more. I recommend these to anyone who prefers using brushes over fingers/sponges. They are fantastic!

D.I.Y Facial ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
The DIY Facial ♥
To keep your skin looking good try this “DIY” facial. Your skin will thank you for it. It will give you a sense of well being and relaxation. For best results a facial should be done once a week however, oilier skins may benefit from doing the facial twice a week. The most important rule is not to go over-board. Anymore than twice a week can cause your skin to become oilier.
The Basic Facial
Cleanse your skin with your usual cleanser applying it in circular motions from your neck upwards. Then either tissue or wash off depending on your skin type.
Best done if your are taking a bath, that way the steam will open up your pores making it more receptive to the mask treatment. If not fill a bowl with hot water (not boiling). Add a couple of blended lavender/eucalyptus essential oil (whichever one suits your mood or skin) – alternatively try adding a chamomile tea bag. Place your head above the bowl of water with a tea towel over your head, and then breathe deeply for a few minutes.
The next step is to exfoliate your skin. Gently massage the exfoliater into your face in circular movements. Either tissue or wash off the exfoliater.
Now the for the Mask. Make sure that your skin is dry if you are using a clay-based mask otherwise it will not dry. Leave on for 5-10 minutes – pop a couple of slices of cucumber or cold tea bags over your eyes while you are waiting for the mask to work. Then wash off the mask.
Now massage your skin with either your moisturizer. Simply get some wheat germ, grape or any other carrier oil, blend in a couple of essential oils to suit your skin type (Lavender is always good, Tea Tree for oily skin or Neroli for sensitive skin). Make sure you only put a couple of drops of essential oil in. Then shake the bottle. Apply a small amount to the palms of your hands then rub together to warm the product. In sweeping motions apply the product from the neck up, then massage in with small circular movements.
Finally apply an eye cream. Dab this on with your ring finger. Make sure you do not apply any pressure or drag the skin around your eye.
