Health & Beauty; Over-exfoliating and Over-budget

Stop scrubbing! Put down the exfoliating cream. You are only supposed to do this once a week not daily. Is your skin red, dry, and flaky? Yes, well then try this home remedy. Mix dry oats, honey, apple cider vinegar, and tea tree oil together to make a homemade scrub that will leave you feeling rejuvenated.

Stop spending all that money on high-priced exfoliants. You have everything you need in your kitchen. Bottle up your own beauty product. You will feel better.

For extra pampering, add scented oils to this mix. Note: rub a small mixture of the added scent on trial area to make sure you are not sensitive or allergic to the oil. Find a scent that is pleasing to you. Try lavender to relieve stress, or chamomile to help you sleep. When you are finished cleansing, your face will feel soft to the touch and you will smell wonderful—especially for that significant someone in your life. Mix it up and enjoy!

Smooth Scrub Recipe
1 teaspoon dried oats (grind them for better texture)
¼ teaspoon Honey (add more as needed)
¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 drop of tea tree oil
1 drop of scented oil

    2. That depends on what you like; Life with Ragdolls was suppose to be about Ragdolls (the cats) but really, its about everything. You could write about animals, nature, food, cooking, beauty, etc. Anything you like. Make sure you premote your blog too, Life with Ragdolls is almost 1 year old and its has like 37,158? Page reviews, and that is without the use of social networks! Yeah, I don't get many comments usually but I get a ton of page reviews, and really it doesn't matter as long as you enjoy what you do--which I do. Hope this was helpful.
