Enjoy looking at these sweet babies with perfectly deliciously smooth skin that smells like heaven after being dipped in the tub....while I talk about mine that most definitely not!
When I turned 18 Candi (my
beautiful identical twin sister ;) turned to me and said "well, I guess we officially have adult acne!" HA ...At the time we were using a topical cream that had death as possible side effect...that my friends is vanity at its best...or maybe worst?!
Six years later I have been blessed to live in the driest state in the nation (good ol' Utah) and have seen much clearer days....and then I had some sweet little babies and suddenly I have more to love, breaking out and losing my hair.....it is getting pretty dang attractive around here! Recently I stumbled across
this article about washing your face with oil....at first I thought that was a bad. bad.really bad. idea....but I thought what the heck and started lathering up with olive oil and scrubbing with my handy dandy clarisonic. I have been moisturizing with straight coconut oil and plan on using apple cider vinegar as toner and the kiehls eye cream both have come with high expectations and big promises.
It has actually been working (Que. the choir of angel singing!)
I have been flirting with the idea to go all natural in the ol' beauty department for quite some time and finally took the plunge....new perfume of choice is
LAVANILA....if nothing else at least I can smell delicious!
and this is wynnie and i
embracing the camera after an all night nursing marathon!
Do any of you lovelies have any natural beauty products they are in love with that I should be buying?
That is my favorite thing to spend money on....just ask my husband ;)
Aw, beautiful pictures of your little ones. I'm intrigued by the natural beauty products. Haven't tried them yet, but maybe I'll have to!
ReplyDeletemy secret? used coffee grounds with coconut oil and honey. I used it once a day. I make new batch each week. It works great and my face is clean and soft.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, your pictures are wonderful!
Okay, this post just gave me massive baby fever! Absolutely adorable! Love the shots with the bubbles! And who would have thought that rubbing oil on your face would cure it. Great post, girl!

Cate you have such LOVELY children. Beyond adorable...and call me crazy, but I wish I could put my two littles in that tub and have them all be soapy friends. :)
ReplyDeleteI checked out that link to the idea of washing my face with oil...the "oil dissolves oil" thing is brilliant! Thanks for sharing!

PS - I came by your blog ages ago and I'm kicking myself for not remembering if I ever commented...I read your birth stories (you are a incredible! and you can sympathize and understand women who've gone natural and who've used an epidural:) I also peeked into your children's bedrooms...you have awesome taste!! And all of the sweet photos of your children are beautiful. Jett and Wynn are lucky to have you as a momma. :)
PPS - I read your post on autism just now...I had tear running down my cheeks. Your writing and love for you son touched me. Goodness I wish we could've got to know you better at BYUI...I can tell you're the type of friend who inspires. I can only imagine the hard days ahead, but your sweet Jett seems like a special boy. Hugs to you. And I look forward to keeping up with your journey. <3
No way.... I've been SO NERVOUS to find out how my skin will react after I have my baby because when I stopped taking birth control a couple years ago? It was HORRIFYING! I mean really, it was the worst experience of my life. I'm definitely going to try these things and pray that my skin doesn't go too crazy :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you are one beautiful momma with the most precious babies!!
