I Love BumbleBee, BumbleBee,

HONEY!
 


Honey is known to have many beneficial properties for the skin, for one's health, and for enhancing a chiefs prepared meal.  Here, we will cover the use of honey for skin care.

Honey has great anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties hence the use for skin care. However, due to the large variety of honey, it can be difficult to pick out a quality product that will yield these wondrous benefits previously described.   


When looking for a honey to use as skin care, there are a couple things to keep in mind.  The honey you should strive for would have at least one of these properties mentioned within: local, natural, raw, unheated, unprocessed, and no added ingredients.  One must be mindful perusing their local grocery stores since many products are over-labeled "organic" and/or "raw".  Seeing a product labeled organic means practically nothing to today's raw food enthusiast.  Making sure your honey is unheated, unfiltered, and/or unprocessed will solidify the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.  A good tip for the raw-honey lookers is to find a honey with little granules of honeycomb still within the jar.  This tip can also benefit as an exfoliating scrub when washing the face.

Many might wonder if the honey will leave a sticky residue...  When added with water, honey takes on a diluted quality enough to rub the honey right on and off your face.  The honey will feel so delicious upon your face, you might feel that creeping tongue on a mission for a taste of the care!

yoga, sweat, and blemishes...

OH MY! 


The moment my emptied, good for nothing, facial scrub hit the sides of my trashcan, a raging light of furry flicked on in my head...


BING!

There has to be a recipe/routine somewhere out there that is more effective and cost efficient than depending on these glorified facial cleansers full of chemicals and preservatives.

There must be a solution out there that will free people from the toxins found in facial cleansers and masks that when washed off with a towel, turns the towel a bleached white. YES, when I washed my over-the-counter face mask off with a lime green towel, I woke up in the morning with a new hombre colored towel of white, yellow, pink, and then the original green as the last layer.  


And this was being put on one of the most sensitive organs of peoples bodies?!  


I swallowed this experience until just recently.  From this, I not only threw in my hombre towel, I also threw in the towel to ever purchasing facial cleansers again.  More so, I am not here to rant (well maybe a little); my number one objective is to unveil information of natural face remedies and more things natural that might be of help to those looking for alternative skin care products like myself.

...and so it begins

with Spring.


*  *  *


Spring is the change in weather helping to invigorate our plants and animals into rebirth upon this planet Earth.  The snow melts, the rains come, the flowers bud and the seasoned crops come out.  Changes amongst the human population should come with no amazement. Everywhere people are signing their lives away to bootcamps.R.U$ and turning into juicing Kings and Queens for those summer bathing suit bods.


I write today to introduce you to Naturally Endearing; my very own unique outlook to a lifestyle change.  This account will not cover hot tips to lose weight fast; instead, I will elaborate upon my experimental journey in creating skin care products that are home remedied and effective.  I will indulge into all the positives and negatives of a more holistic approach to body upkeep and withhold nothing; not even one ittybitty secret tip. In closing...




I hope you can enjoy your read, take notes, and get inspired.  Thank you. 
-Ali
