The Journey Begins...

If you would have asked me ten years ago if I would start a blog on beauty, I would have laughed at you (and then asked you what a blog was.)  I didn't own any make-up until my mom bought me some to wear to my senior prom.  I didn't see it again until my wedding seven years later.  (Which, now that I think about it, was probably not even sanitary to use.)  As I neared the big 3-0, I started to realize that my skin was not as even as it used to be.  So, I broke down and bought some make-up.  I still don't like the feel of it on my skin, but I have to admit it makes me look more alive as I drag my tired body into school at seven o'clock every morning.

So, you are probably asking yourself what a girl like me could possibly know about beauty.  Well, the simple answer is absolutely nothing.  After doing some research and a lot of soul searching, I realized that everything that I thought I knew about beauty was coming from magazines and cosmetic counters.  So, I am starting completely from scratch.

The truth is that I believe that nature has provided us with everything that we need to care for our bodies, on the inside and out.  Using homemade body care recipes, I am on a journey to find out what works and what doesn't.  I will try to keep the recipes simple and user friendly so that if they work you can try them at home.  Maybe by taking this journey with me into home body care, together we can dig under the layers  of foundation and mascara and find the real you: Nature's You.
