Fruits+ more. Simple home remedies for glowing skin!


I know the first picture looks like puke, right? lol. But its filled with all the yummy goodness your skin needs. 
CAUTION!!! Try all mixtures on small parts of your skin before you proceed.
so here are some great tips for your own home made facials.
  For the first pic, step 1: Mix 3 spoons of oats (quaker oats) with 2 spoons of honey. Add more honey if too dry or more oats if mixture is runny.  Step 2: rub mixture on face and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with lots of water. 
pic 2, Step 1: Mix 1/2 avocado with 3 spoons of pure honey. Step 2: Splatter mixture on your face, and relax with 2 slices of cucumber covering your eyes (this will help with those eye bags caused by tiredness or stress). Rest for 10-15 minutes and rinse off with your cleanser (this is because avocado contains healthy oils and may leave your face a bit greasy).

More cheap and healthy 10-15 minutes facials coming your way in other posts soon.. enjoy your glowing skin.

For the ladies and some men... DOES YOUR MAKEUP EXPIRE?

If you are holding on to your glittery eyeshadow, you may want to toss it in the bin now! Research has shown that the preservatives used in make-up may break down over time, allowing bacteria to grow. This could also lead to acne, eye irritation, rashes or discolouration.
Experts have advised on the following "use-by" rules:

Foundation- 1 year
Lipsticks- 1 year
Mascara- 3-4 months (I know right?! I am definitely guilty of holding on to my mascara for over a year)
Blush/Powder/Eyeshadows- 2 years

So if all of a sudden, you notice some not so normal pimples and rashes, it might be time to ditch those expensive make ups.
Thank me later, lol!

4 Ways to wreck your skin...






Your skin is the largest organ in your body and it takes and endures a lot of abuse.
Want to help destroy it more? Follow these rules lol. If not, do the exact opposite:

1. Get overexposed in the SUN: Exposure to sun could lead to extreme skin damages and even skin cancer.
2. Smoke: Smoking is by far the highest trigger of dry/scaly skin, it does a lot+more of what the sun does. It destroys the skin more because it works from the INSIDE..
3. Sleep less: During sleep, the skin is rejuvenated and repaired. Less sleep leads to stress. So go on, get enough sleep on *Vivabella Designs* cotton beddings of course!
4. Overeat: Eating much more than you need is called overeating. When u feel full, please stop. Need i say more?

So there, its up to you. wreck it or love it!! the choice is yours. check out my next post and keep living beautifully. ciao...

Life's Elixir...

I am sure you are wondering what life's elixir is... simply put, its WATER. It is one of the most essential elements to your health and beautiful skin. I will not bore you with water quenches thirst or water enriches your body. All I will say is if u want a tired and dull looking skin, DONT DRINK WATER... lol.
See u in my next post. And please feel free to leave your comments, ideas and recommendations on any of the posts.


HAVE U CHANGED YOUR BEDDINGS LATELY?




So I have been struggling a bit with the blog, trying to put pictures together and prepare content in order not to make this space a boring place for you all. I am getting there so please bare with me. Like I said in my welcome post, hopefully all my posts will be short, funny and interesting. Without much ado, i proceed to ask, "when exactly did you change your bedsheets?" This aspect is overlooked most of the time and people end up sleeping on the same sheets for over a month! (surprised?)..
Do make the effort to change your sheets as this could help with a good nights sleep, passionate love making( yep, really) and wellness.
Vivabella Designs makes the best cotton sheets, duvets and duvet covers. we also make really soft duvets ranging from single sizes (for kids) to super king size.
