TREATING EVERY DAY PEOPLE LIKE CELEBRITIES By Rachel Warren
W
e know that celebrities always take time out for self with pampering and extravagant spa days, especially to start off the New Year. This New Year instead of resolutions that range from the typical weight loss of those pounds we put on during the holidays, the purchase of a new home or car, all the way to more personalized resolutions such as being fearless in our personal and professional relationships, the nfinite size woman is going to take time out for pampering and indulgence. We Nfinite size women need to love ourselves more? Women these days lead such busy lives that they often will forget to take a day off to unwind. Naturally, we are inclined to take the familiar trip to the salon or spa for manicures, pedicures, threading, and even waxing to keep our outside aesthetics pleasing to the many on-lookers, including ourselves. On average, these beauty rituals we indulge in can cost as much
1. Pour
the granulated white sugar into the jar. 2. Pour the olive oil into sugar and mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended. 3. Label the jar as desired.
as $50 to $175, including tax and tip, per trip. With that said, imagine how much one could save annually just by curbing back the extra expense during this recession. Now, here’s the reality; most spas offer skin exfoliating treatments that includes sea salt or sugar, an invigorating fragrance and essential oils. More than likely,
these can be found in our very own pantry at home and for less than $35, you can create your signature scrub by using affordable ingredients. It’s important to exfoliating year round for trouble spots such as, the elbows, knees, ankles and feet, this can keep our skin soft and smooth during the cold winter months and especially in the summer because our skin may become drier and can toughen due to overexposure to sunlight.From one curvy diva to another, below you’ll find a basic sugar scrub recipe that will start you on your way to creating your celebrity pampering at home. Ingredients * An empty jar with a lid (a small jelly or condiment jar works great for this project) * 1 cup granulated white sugar * 1/2 cup olive oil * Label (if desired)

Make It
While this is just a basic recipe, you can get as creative as you want with various scents and essential oils like lavender, vanilla, mint and coconut. You might want to try sea salt, for a more intensified scrub, lemon works well with this type. With scrubs the possibilities are truly endless and you can create amazing scents while you’re able to indulge yourself and relax with luscious exfoliation. Lastly, this is a perfect chance to get your spouse/significant other to participate and get
involved with your exfoliating process. After all, romance, love and exfoliating scrubs go hand in hand. Enjoy!

The answers to these questions are all no.

HOT SPOTS HOT SPOT Shervon Norfleet
as tho not deserving, my heart is whole, my heart sings, that iv’e finally found what true joy means... they’re really no words to decribe the love i feel love is you simply you! This i know my heart beats because of you, my hearts healed because of you, i love you... HeartMindEyes By Aptwanea Lucas Do eyes see what they want to see or what’s real? Does the heart feel what it wants to feel or is feeling uncontrollable? Does the mind think what it wants to think or are thoughts instructed? Sometimes the heart feels what is beyond comprehension, Just as the eyes view illusions… The mind doesn’t always think with precise cognition… Heart, mind and eyes are not mere parts of the body, They are tools of the soul! The eyes see illusions because a soul has no form! The heart feels what is not there because the feeling isn’t of this world… It is of the spirit! The mind knows the truth but allows itself to be clouded by logic, In order to avoid the persecution of man’s reality! Heart, Mind, and Eyes…three entities that will never work together in this life For this isn’t the life they were designed for! AGING BEAUTY By Michee’ I look into the mirror and I see a face I knew a time so long ago. Reflection of someone who is not me The woman staring back I do not know I gaze at lines of wonder timeless the brow line heavy, eyes so blank and deep Tradition is dark skin will never crack but years of trials and obstacles I keep. His admirations go beyond my face; he sees from me what lies so deep within He views my inner beauty and my grace, not where I’ am going but where i’ve been. The mirror is cracked, fading old and through, yet in his eyes the reflection’s still new.
