GGLF Banana-Cran Smoothie!

Tired of being pissed off and getting cramps during that time of the month?  Here's a delicious treat to help boost your mood and give you glowing radiant skin.

The GGLF Banana-Cran Smoothie has so many health benefits and as an added bonus it's a great meal to have during that time of the month.  Having cranberries during your period is good for the urinary tract, bananas help with cramps and make you happy, and this smoothie helps with your sweet tooth craving.

What you need for two smoothies:

1. 2 cups soymilk (half the calories of milk)
2. 1 tablespoon honey (all natural sweetener and anti-bacterial)
3. 1 ripe banana (great source of potassium)
4. 2 handfulls of Fresh/Dried/Frozen Cranberries (filled with antioxidants and is an anti-inflammatory)
5. 2 dashes of cinnamon (helps cure bloating and great for weight loss)
6. 1 cup of ice

In a blender add all of these ingredients and blend just the way you like it.  If you use dried cranberries like I do, you may want to mix the smoothie up for longer.

If you are drinking alone cut the ingredient amounts in half.

For another delicious smoothie try the GGLF Peach & Blueberry Smoothie.

Hope you enjoy!!

Sky High Lashes Without The Falsies!

I'm such a fan of huge, long, big lashes but a girl can't wear false lashes everyday and the upkeep on lash extensions are too much on my piggy bank.  To get the appearance of extra long lashes I use two or more mascaras at a time.  

The look below was created by Maybelline "The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara" in glam black and Covergirl "LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara" which are both available at drugstores for under $10 bucks each.  

When doubling up on mascara it is good to have two or more mascaras that do different things.  There are mascaras for volume/thickening, length, anti-clumping, curling, etc.  Pick different ones and go to town.  Some mascaras dry fast so don't wait too long to apply the second or third type of mascara because it can get flaky.

Let me know which pairs you come up with and share your favorites with me and the rest of us!

Thanks gorgeous! XO ;)

Cleanse With Coconut Oil

How many washes does it take to get all my make-up off when using soap or a cleanser? 

• Two-three to make sure I got it all off 

How many washes does it take to get all my make-up off with coconut oil? 

• One!!

When in its liquid form it makes such a great cleanser.  The oil breaks up and dissolves all of my make-up and wipes away completely with a warm washcloth.  After, my skin feels soft and completely clean.  Using coconut oil is beneficial for your skin because of its anti-bacterial properties and moisturizing effect.  

When purchasing coconut oil look at the ingredients and make sure the only ingredient is coconut oil.  Not only can you remove all your make-up and get that nice clean feeling but you can also use it for your hair and to cook with.

When I was in the Philippines I came across these little rain coats for your heels.  You slip them over your shoe and they keep your pumps from getting soaked.

Trend Alert: Slouchy Pants!

When I was in the Philippines last month I saw women everywhere in slouchy pants.  They were surprising flattering and came in all different prints.  When I asked how long these pants had been in style for, ladies said they had been wearing them for the past couple of years.  I grabbed a few while I was overseas because they were everywhere I went.  Two years later, the trend is finally hitting the states and you too can get your own unique pair.

I spotted slouchy pants this weekend on my shopping trip to Nordstrom but I haven't seen them in that many places yet.  I personally pair mine with a short flowy top or a loose tank and tuck it in.  For a polished yet fashionable look these pants look great with a blazer and heels.

Will you be sporting this trend or do you think it's absolutely awful?

Let me know gorgeous!

Beauty Tip: Hair Growth

Do you want long luscious locks?  Massage your scalp before your shower or at night before going to bed.  This will stimulate your scalp causing cell turnover which leads to hair growth.

The Snail Facial. Is It For You?

There is a salon in Tokyo, Japan that is offering the snail facial.  The facial is an hour long and a beautician places snails on your face to crawl around leaving their slime on your skin.  The slime is supposedly great for moisturizing the skin but I kind of cringe thinking about it.  I'm all about trying new skincare approaches but at $250 a facial I think I'll pass.

Would you give the snail facial a try?  Leave a comment below or go to my facebook page and join in on the poll!
