The Breakfast of Beauty Champions


Beauty begins on the inside. That’s what I tell myself every morning when I crawl out of bed, care for my skin and make a wholesome breakfast. If not for beauty, every day I would be very tempted to eat those sugary cereals with tiny marshmallows shaped like hearts and rainbows.

Personal food cravings aside, I know that along with eating healthy it’s also crucial to stay moisturized internally by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Keeping your skin hydrated, and feeding it nutritious foods, are two key factors in how great your complexion will look.

To coincide with your skincare regimen, be sure to incorporate into your diet a healthy portion of antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins—all of which will help your natural beauty radiate from the inside out.

If your skin is in need of a beauty boost, try making my favorite omelet for breakfast:

(Proof of me in the kitchen.) 
Although, if your omelet looks like this Uzbek plov something has gone terribly wrong.

Beauty Around The World

Tomatoes are a staple food in the United States.  They can be found on sandwiches, in salads, & in gardens across the country.  We make pasta out of them, drink them in vegetable juice, & slurp down their warm soupy form.  

But did you know they could be good for your beauty regimen, too?

The Advantages of Aloe

The Aloe Vera plant is synonymous with soothing sunburn, but there are a variety of other benefits to squeezing its juicy nectar.  When you break open a thick green stalk of Aloe, you are breaking open a treasure trove of nutrients & minerals existing inside an environment that is 99.5% water. 

These include:

·         amino acids
·         enzymes
·         vitamins C & E
·         minerals
·         plant steroids
·         polysaccharides
·         galactose
·         silica & zinc

Aloe is high in sulphur, & its slightly acidic pH creates the perfect antibacterial atmosphere, if you happen to suffer from dandruff.  Each of these benefits helps to naturally fortify follicles, reflect light, & add instant gloss to a dull do.  Used medicinally for more than 3000 years, & especially during ancient Egyptian times, Aloe has been used as a first aid cure for skin irritation (including hives), wounds, burns, & infections.

Blissful






Its a great thing when you and your significant both share a love of food. These past two weeks we've taken all of the domestic responsibility together and even tried to impress one another with our masterful kitchen skills. Of course we were very pleased with the other, not only for our amazing abilities, but also for our cooperation with clean up time. Not too much huffing and puffing required for dish washing and the job was well done.

I took the liberty of making my minty brownies, buttery sugar cookies, a little barbeque, breakfast in bed, and the all worshiped Red Lobster Biscuits, amongst others. The biscuits were all but devoured by any male who stepped foot into smelling distance, and I was happy they were a hit.


Between making lots of food, eating, watching movies and reading novels, cuddling, laughing hysterically at intense ninjas, and loving life... even the laundry got done. Success never tasted so sweet!
