From London to Canada [Pt.1]

Hey Y'all!

How has everyone been enjoying their Easter holiday? Hopefully you are all getting plenty of rest along with loads of tasty food and plenty of family time.

My Easter holiday has been spent moving across the pond back to Canada. I had previously written about me moving to Canada however, I did not move back home to Toronto. Instead, I have moved across Canada to the west coast to Calgary. A brand new city that I have never been too and do not know anybody except my mom and sister. Starting over again with this new beginning.

Let's Scrub [101]

Hey y'all!

So, I decided to try out a new mix for a face scrub.  I have been breaking out a bit more than usual due to the stress of moving to a different country. Not to mention having to find a new job while out of the country you are moving to next. You can imagine how my stress levels have been all over the place lately.
I also have some acne scarring because I tend to scratch my face a lot whenever a pimple is healing.  Since I tend to scar easily, a scar is born.

The face scrub that I plan on using now is a homemade scrub that can be used on face AND body. The ingredients are all natural which I am hoping will be great for my skin. I made the mix using sugar, lemon, honey and extra virgin olive oil. Lemon has been shown to help fade acne scarring as well as help even out skin tone. The honey and olive oil is said to help with the moisturizing aspect.

I measured as I went on a trial and error basis, so once I work out the quantity of each of the ingredients, I will share the recipe with you guys as well. Oh, I forgot to mention that I mixed everything in a plastic container so that it would make storing it easier.

I have tried it on the back of my hand so far and do like the way my skin is feeling.  I cannot wait to try it for a bit and get some before and after photos for you to see if there is any difference in my skins appearance.  My fingers are crossed that this scrub is the answer for my complexion.

Until next time,  I bid you all adieu!
