With the holiday season rolling around fast expenses are really starting to pile up.  A trip to the spa this time of year could put a real dent in your wallet faster than it’ll take for the polish on your toes to dry!   To cut costs and still feel pampered Jessica Metivier, America Now Beauty Pro shares some of her DIY beauty tips with us, including this simple edible facial mask, that taste as  good as it feels.  I should know – I eat a variation of this recipe almost everyday!

 

1 ripe banana – moisturizing agent

1 tablespoon of honey – natural humectants, retains moisture

2 tablespoon of unsweetened, plain yogurt – lactic acid, exfoliating agent

 

Mash 1 ripe banana in a bowl with a fork. Then add 2 tablespoons of plain, unsweetened yogurt.

Then add a tablespoon of honey and mix with a spoon.

Use your hand and apply the mixture on your face, avoiding the eyes.

Wait for about 15 minutes or until completely dry.  Then rinse off with cool water.

 

This mask is a great way to restore moisture to dry uneven skin, close enlarge pores and put a little pep in your step before work.  Try it!

Breaking more than Dawn

An admitted twi-hard fan, I’ve been anticipating the release of the next movie in the Twilight saga “Breaking Dawn“, since the minute the previous film ("Eclipse") ended!  I’m not going to camp out or poke any eyes out for tickets on opening night (Nov. 18th), but I am a fan and have always thought Kristen possessed a quirky sort of elegance that just never seems to fail in great fashion editorials.

The dark and enchanting shoot she did for Vogue’s November 2011 issue by Michelangelo di Battista show how much this awkward yet delicate flower from Twilight, has blossomed into a poised and sophisticated young woman.  The looks in the spread scream queen of some sort of modern under world. She wears sexy spider like heels, a dramatic over coat and of course being a trend, is covered in lots of sparkle.   The pieces she was styled in come from the heavy weights of couture; Alexander McQueen, Roberto Cavalli, Blumaine and Marchesa.
