Baigneuse My Beauty-Related Desert Island Must-Haves Feb 18, 2010 5:23 AM I would like to begin this post by fixing the paradox of the almighty "Desert Island Must-Haves" question: whatever you bring, you will be granted an endless supply of. Yes, this has always bothered me, and I am glad to finally get that off of my chest. I would also like to say that there is a reason for this post. Whenever I hear this question answered, I almost always hear the same items: waterproof mascara, blush, tinted moisturizer or foundation, eyeliner, and the ridiculous list goes on. So here it goes, my ten sensible, practical, beautiful must-haves. [break]To find out more, keep reading.[/break] Sunscreen - need I say more? Chapstik's 100% Natural Lip Balm - this is a personal favorite. I've tried Aubrey Organics, Burt's Bees, and just about everything else under the sun, but this one certainly takes my cake. Olive Oil - this is an absolutely amazing multi-tasker! I love it for my hair, nails, and skin. Insect Repellant - natural, of course. Toothbrush - quite necessary. Toothpaste - if I didn't have this, why bring the toothbrush? Asian Pear & Red Tea Color Protecting Shampoo for Dry, Damaged Hair by Nature's Gate - my absolute favorite shampoo, and I've tried oh so many! Asian Pear & Red Tea Color Protecting Conditioner for Dry Damaged Hair by Nature's Gate - my absolute favorite conditioner, and I've been quite the conditioner junkie. Rose Hydrosol (Rosewater) - while most toners do nothing (except dry my skin out), rosewater does everything. It calms, soothes, hydrates, and evens, and what more could a girl ask for? My Homemade Moisturizer - A blend of some of my favorite things. Mango butter, avocado oil, rosehip seed oil, apricot kernel oil, and aloe vera gel, all in one deliciously whipped moisturizer! So there you have it! Hopefully I have inspired you, and if you ever do get stranded on a desert island, you'll choose SPF over mascara. Baigneuse Comforting Cupcakes Feb 10, 2010 11:51 PM My all-time favorite scent, and dessert, is the ever-so-delicious buttercream cupcake. And while I'm being honest here, my addiction extends far from the kitchen, and right into my bathroom. After all, what could be more delicious than bathing in the aroma of cupcakes? I, for one, can't think of a thing! That's why I'm passing my scrumptious recipe for bubble bath perfection onto you. Just don't try eating it!

Though it's not the be-all end-all for skin problems (my cheek breakouts undoubtedly come from resting on my hand), it's still quite fun to contemplate. Besides face-mapping pertaining to specific parts of the body, I have also heard of categorizing skin types by the elements and by spiritual creatures, and determining ones personality and success in life based on physical characteristics. Baigneuse My "Skinspiration" Feb 8, 2010 6:13 PM I have recently fallen in love with South Korean model Song Hye Kyo. After photos of her leaked in which she wasn't wearing make-up, she left everybody wondering, "How does she do it?!" She truly is my "skinspiration"! Some of Song Hye Kyo's beauty tips include natural mask recipes made of ingredients such as egg white, honey, milk, and ice cubes, eating a diet high in vegetables and fruits, and avoiding foods such as chocolate, coke, and black tea.[break] To find out more, keep reading.[/break] Check out VivaWoman.com for more information on Song Hye Kyo's natural skin care recipes!Top Brands
