★ LIMONE



Photo copyright: Tina Puksic

Ali ste vedeli, da limone pripomorejo k bolj gladki, sijoči koži?

Limone vsebujejo visoko stopnjo antioksidantov, vitamina C in citronsko kislino - ta trio ne le ojača imunski sistem ampak prav tako zviša proizvajanje kolagena za napeto in mladostno kožo. Vitamin C lahko tudi pomaga, da izginejo madeži na koži.

Lemons contain a high dose of antioxidants, Vitamin C and Citric Acid ~ this trio not only boosts your immune system, but also increases collagen production for plump, youthful skin. Vitamin C can also help clear up blemishes, and even help with scarring when applied topically!
Starting your day with a glass of your metabolism boosting Meta D or a vitamin bomb shot is an absolute must!

Here are the top 3 reasons to add a little squeeze of lemon to your water or tea:

1. Smooth, Glowing Skin! Lemons contain a high dose of antioxidants, Vitamin C and Citric Acid ~ this trio not only boosts your immune system, but also increases collagen production for plump, youthful skin. Vitamin C can also help clear up blemishes, and even help with scarring when applied topically!

2.  Helps with Weight Loss! A little lemon water before meals reduces hunger, helps with digestion and also contributes to detoxification by aiding liver function.

3. Gives you Energy & Helps you Concentrate! The scent of lemons has been said to increases alertness and boost your energy!

The best way to get your fix? Make a batch of Zesty Spa Water below to enjoy throughout the day, just squeeze half a lemon in a glass of water or add a little citrus love to your raw green and steamed veggies!

Zesty Spa Water

~ 1 Liter of Water
~ Juice of 3 Lemons
~ 2 packets of Stevia
~ A handful of Fresh Mint

Mix all ingredients together and keep in the fridge for a refreshing treat any time. Or take it on the go and sip throughout your day for a nice little boosts while running errands, school, work or at the gym!

Torej - vsak dan v vodo malo limone in to je to. :)

★ 5 Bath Scrubs You Can Make in Your Kitchen ★

I got this from here.(photos as well) - ALL MATERIAL IN THIS POST COPYRIGHTED BY SELF MAGAZINE. YOU SHOULD LIKE THEIR PAGE ON FACEBOOK - here, AND SUBSCRIBE here.

Now that warmer weather has arrived, it's time to show of those stems (and arms, and back!) again. But if that has you thinking more "eek!" than "awesome!", give your skin a little buff with these easy DIY scrubs (five ingredients or fewer) that you can make right now.

YOU'LL NEED: A large bowl to combine ingredients and a pestle for grinding. If you don't have a pestle, a tablespoon or hard plastic spatula should work. And consider getting a mason jar with a seal and lid to store these—so pretty!

Coffee Scrub
Not only does this scrub smell like a fresh cup 'o joe, but the caffeine in the coffee can reduce the appearance of cellulite. It's a win-win!

1/4 cup raw sugar
1/4 cup ground coffee
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp sea salt

Went a little overboard with the self-tanner? No prob. Banish Snooki-like streaks before those weekend plans with this all-natural ointment. (Don't be afraid to scrub hard!)
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp honey

This one is a no-brainer because brown sugar and vanilla are such a winning scent combo. Use this before you head out on a date—you're guaranteed to catch his attention.
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
3 tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup almond oil



Peppermint Scrub
Face it: That 6 a.m. alarm stinks. Treat yourself on early mornings with this sense-stimulating peppermint scrub. It'll almost feel like six espressos.
