Spring Forward




As early as it is (I had to break into my summer clothes stash just to grab my white jeans !) white seems to be all over the place- and I am shocked to say I am loving it.

I donned my floral baseball cap on top of this all white ensemble to keep the sun out and add a little twist.










Carpe Review: Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay

 I love any product that promises glowing skin and I especially love products that you can "feel" working which many online reviews claim this Aztec Secret Clay Mask does.  I ordered some online and was able to give it a try last night. 

On the inside this clay is still powder I was not expecting this.  Just mix with either apple cider vinegar or water to make the mask.  

I made my mask with apple cider vinegar, when I first added it the whole combination bubbled up like a science experiment but that only lasted a second or two. The mask was very easy to mix. It is noted on the product that you should not use a metal dish or utensils for this. 

The directions say to apply a 1/4 -1/2 inch layer,
which thicker than I am used to at first it felt strange
 but then it just felt very refreshing. 


After application you just wait and wait and wait.  I allowed my mask to sit for 20 minutes.

After waiting I noticed that my mask cracked some (as pictured). My roommate's mask did not,  we quickly realized this was because I was chatting and laughing throughout the process causing my face to move all around whereas my roommate was quiet and relaxed. What can I say ? I am a big talker :) 

The cracking did not interfere with the mask at all. I did not feel the 'pulsating sensation' that is noted in so many reviews and on the product but I did feel a cooling sensation  for the last couple of minutes that I had it on and then especially as I washed off the mask. 

Afterwards I was anticipating redness but hardly had any just a little around my nose and on my cheek. My face felt nice and tight the rest of the night and I am not sure if this is all in my head but this morning after washing my face my pores looked slightly smaller -especially on my nose.  I am excited to see the results of continued use.


Overall this was a good price, I could feel it working and I experienced results after the first use. I would recommend this to my lady (and gentleman) friends. Who doesn't love an excuse for a face mask ?

Hocus Pocus

Nothing ever feels more comfortable to me than piles and piles of black clothing. I know it can look a little 'Witchy' but witches are in right now …right ?? Plus everyone knows that witches don't wear crop tops.
