There is nothing more fulling then taking time out for yourself and soaking your body up in a nice bath that is beneficial for your mind, body & skin!
All you need is 30min and you will be revitalized and GLOWY!!!
The following are my top 3 Body Bath’s:
Detoxify and Relax
Epsom Salt baths are a superb in many ways. It helps with improving circulation especially in your legs and feet, releasing toxins from built up stress and exfoliating the skin.
Directions:
Add 2 cups of Epsom Salt ( you can also find packages with added aroma scents)
Fill tub with warm water
To exfoliate your skin lightly rub the salts on your body
Cleopatra Diva
Close your eyes and think you are Cleopatra in a room with a warm milk bath sprinkled with Red Rose petals…open them up and you are right there. Cleopatra was known for indulging in these baths to keep her skin soft and hydrated.
Directions:
Take 2 cartons of Homogenized milk and warm it up in a pot
Fill your bath tub with warm water and add the warm milk
Add 2 table spoons of Honey
Sprinkle Red Rose petals
Scents of a Spa
The use of essential oils is very fulling to help alter your bad mood into a good and calm mood. There are various types of essential oils that you can you to create a aroma therapy spa like feel to your bath. Lavender and Eucalyptus are most commonly used it all depends on your preference, best to go to a shop where they sell essential oils and take some time to smell each one to customize your bath.
Directions:
Add 10 drops of the essential oil to your warm bath
¼ of a cup mild shampoo (Baby Shampoo) to add bubbles
Fill tub with warm water

I walked into the venue that we had our shoot setup for at 8:30am on Monday morning, the sun was out and not a cloud in the sky, I felt like I was Royalty. Gradon Hall is one spectacular property in Toronto, it is filled with history and perfectly trimmed lawn/courtyard, it truly was PICTURE PERFECT…
I was very LUCKY to be approached to do this project by Award Winning Photographer Andrew Adams…when I mention his name peoples face light up because he is incredible and sooo passionate about what he has to transform. His lighting, vision and the moments of silence when he is planning his next move was amazing to experience.
I immediately thought of a very NEW and TRENDY clothing Boutique to have part of this photo shoot…VISHVA Boutique. Their pieces spoke for themselves and absolutely assisted with the vision of the shoot: Classy and Elegant. When the models were wardrobe my jaw dropped from the way it all came together. Thank you Men of India for suiting up the male models…where else would you go for men’s Indian attire???
To add to all the elegance we had Nisha Events put up a turquoise and brown tent and decorate an evening dinner table…my fave PEACOCK inspired.
I have to say in the 12 some years I have been doing photo shoots this was my FAVORITE!!!!
Here are some pics I took (click on image for better view lol)…Can’t wait for the final professional images:
Skin Care Inside & Out Series 1 Vlog is one of the many projects I am really excited to share with you all. Thanks to Manisha from Sindhoor.ca for giving me the Beauty corner on her site…this is where the inspiration came from.
The idea came about when Gule S, a fitness competitor and soon to be personal trainer, thought of doing a video together. We love coming up with fun and creative ways to interact with women.
This video is for you to really take advantage of LEARNING how to take care of your skin INSIDE and OUT by utilizing ingredients in your own home. Gule S created a easy to make SKIN CARE SMOOTHY and I had the pleasure creating a Brown Sugar exfoliator for the face. We are bombarded with the cosmetic retail industry and yet we forget that we can create simple beauty regime items right at home.
With the help of JD from Karmagine, we were able to create our very first production. JD was a blast to work with, he was very PATIENT and “directed” us when needed. I have to say I was very impressed with his editing of our first VLOG….

Here we go adding another product to your make-up bag!!!
I personally use an eye shadow primer every time I start my make-up application. It is beneficial for your eyeshadow to stay on longer and also allows the pigment of the eyeshadow to show up brighter and avoids the eye shadow to crease. It is similar to the concept of painting, apply the primer then the color.
Here are some primers I have tried and would recommend:
The wand applicator makes it easy to apply! Just apply the product and use your finger tips to blend, let the product sit for 15sec then apply your eye shadow. The product is a liquid cream and dries as is!!!
This product is trio purpose; it conceals, brightens the eye area AND primes the eye lid for your eye shadow. Use the base color as the primer with a concealer brush and blend with fingers if need be. I love the cream to powder finish with this!!!
This one is a bit tricky…but does work! It comes in a pump application, but you have to be careful on how hard you could pump the product out as it may pump out too much, so little small pumps. The product is similar to a foundation type of liquid and dries as is.
$24
So take your pick and enjoy the lasting power of your eye shadow as you prime your eyes!!!
