You Glow Girl

Hey Fellow Mommies!
I am a die hard make-up fan and love the polished look I have when I wear it but I often have very little time to put on a full face. On those days when time is short and so is my patience I want to walk out with a bare face and feel confident.In my quest to maintain a summer of simplistic beauty, Ive been searching for inexpensive ways to improve the look of my skin. As much as I would love to run out and buy Estee Lauder's Idealist Even Skintone Illuminator, which by the way is $58 for one ounce, I cant justify the purchase with the rising cost of gas and diapers. So I'm going to complete my glowing skin ritual au natural. Below is my grocery store arsenal to complete my Good to Glow mission.

Blueberries.This healthy snack is packed full of antioxidants, are easy to pack, and are delicious treats. They help prevent premature aging which comes in handy for those sleepless nights.

Carrots. These orange agent help to clear up blemishes. Instead of reaching for those greasy chips crunch on carrots and feel confident you are giving your skin a treat.

Green tea with lemon. Drink two cups a day and watch out for luminous skin! I drink one in the morning and one before bed. The lemon juice helps your body absorb all of the benefits of the tea. If you also looking to drop a few pounds, green tea can act as a double agent.

Almonds. Its best to pop a couple of these in the morning before you eat so that you absorb all of its nutrient goodness. They help to keep give your skin an abundance of moisture. They also can help you shed a few pounds.

Tomato. The lycopene in tomatoes help to keep your skin looking fresh, radiant, and young. So stew them, toss them in salad, or snack on them with some ranch dip and await dewy skin.

Ok you gorgeous ladies, time to get to having the best beauty days on a budget. I'll keep up the research and share what I find. Can't wait till our next chat!
