GREEN BEAUTY BLOG


DAY 10

Above is my Puja in my office/gym/closet.

Since a major part of all this is that I am trying to get my skin in order I will talk about my beauty (hopefully) routine tonight.

First I did a hair treatment by Kama Ayurveda called Bringadi. That is supposed to stay on for about an hour so I then did Abyanga, an Ayurvedic self massage with Kama's Swagandhadi Oil. All of my Kama products are from India when I was there in February 2009. They expire the end of this month so I am going to try and use them up quickly!!! The benefits of this massage if done daily (which I don't do...who the heck has time to do this every morning???who ARE these people?) :
  • Increased circulation, especially to nerve endings
  • Toning of the muscles and the whole physiology
  • Calming for the nerves
  • Lubrication of the joints
  • Increased mental alertness
  • Improved elimination of impurities from the body
  • Softer, smoother skin
  • Increased levels of stamina through the day
  • Better, deeper sleep at night

With these oils soaking in I boiled a pot of water and put a drop each of Lavender and Tea tree oil. Then I lit candles, put on the Gayatri Mantra and steamed my face for a good ten minutes. Then I did an Oil Cleanse which is my new favorite thing....it works amazing!!! I used Castor oil and Olive oil because that is all I had. Then I took a shower and moisturized with a teeny bit of Simply Divine Botanicals Rose cream and Pack Your Bags They are Leaving!

Then I did Laundry, packed a bag for this weekend's excursion and spent hours on this blog. OKAY. DONE. GOODNIGHT.xoxo
