Imagine pajama day every day. Spring 2017 fashion is evolving with an atomic twist turning your night time attire into day time fashion. Are bathrobes the new trench coat? Take less time getting ready to go when you can leave in your bathrobe. These new fashionable robes are being put to the test and mixed and matched with some of your fashion favs. The oversized house coat can be dressed up or dressed down and there are multiple styles such as plaid and solid colors. When wearing less becomes more and your favorite pj’s become an important factor in your wardrobe that’s when spring dreams are born. Turning the classic sleep gear into your runway coat is only the beginning of a new tradition.
This fast pace lifestyle calls for a change in how to get ready. When wearing your inside clothing outside was never the thing to do it has become more convenient and fashion friendly. The trend to wear pajama like clothing outside would only result in the creation of the daytime bathrobe. Making dress up more fun and comfortable with this “evening” approach. The night will forever be young.

Whether you know it or not, it is common to be living with pesky parasites within your body. This may seem like some third world myth, but just because we live in America doesn’t mean this is false. The ways of contracting a parasite vary; you could accidentally eat contaminated meat, swim in a pond of lake with these critters, or even smell a flower crawling with microscopic worms.

First off, you may want to upgrade your soap. If you haven’t heard, Dr. Bronners Organic Castille Soap honestly works wonders. It is made from natural ingredients (including coconut, jojoba, and hemp oils) and stays away from harsh chemicals which can cause cancer. Dr. Bronners can be bought online or in stores. I know Target carries it, but I don’t think WalMart does. And just a forewarning, a little bit goes a long way. Honestly, two or three drops in your palm will allow you to wash your face and neck. A 4 ounce bottle will last you two semesters if you only use it on your face.
I know it may sound weird, but there’s something so soothing about using a coarse rock to exfoliate my skin instead of a washcloth. When I exfoliate, I do it while the soap is still on my skin and rub my rock in a circular motion all over my face. I start on my right cheek, go towards my nose, over to the left cheek, down to my chin/mouth area (you can even get your lips!), and then up to my forehead. This will make sure dead skin is off of your face, allowing for different treatments to penetrate deeper and more evenly.
Another thing you can do is make and apply a clay mask. My favorite way to do this is by using a dry clay powder (Now Foods European Clay Powder is what I use). It’s easy to prepare and offers amazing results. You definitely want the mask to be warm when applying it to your skin to work best and open your pores. The way to do this is by putting about 2 inches worth of water into a small pot. Put whatever liquid you’re using with the clay in a small ramekin and place the ramekin into the water. Heat the pot of water with the ramekin inside to get the liquid warm. Remove the ramekin from the water, turn the stove off and add the clay to the ramekin and mix together until smooth.
The final step to our skin care regimen is to moisturize. Personally, I prefer to use oils on my skin. I find that lotions tend to be made with fillers, and are in turn, a waste of money.
