Quick All-Natural Facial Scrub & Toner

Geia sas girls, today i have a nice facial scrub/exfoliator & toner recipe to share with y'all.

For scrub: Add 1 tsp. sugar (white or brown) to 1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil.
Apply scrub with hand then rub in circular motions, rinse well. Note that skin will have the feeling of oil still.
For toner: Sqeeze fresh lemon juice onto a cotton ball, apply over entire face, repeat as many times as needed. *The lemon will help with blackheads, dead skin cells, acne, & sun spots.

Your skin will feel smooth & refreshed!
I love using this because you know there are no chemicals or things that could harm you in it. Another great thing is that these ingredients are are always in my kitchen.
I highly recommend you ladies try it!

Olive Oil Bar

Geia sas everyone!
Last week my mom & i went to the olive oil bar & wow did we love it!
We bought Garlic Infused Olive Oil which is fabulous & their Greek Olive Oil grown in the Peloponnese where my family is from, this is has an incredible flavor; note they only sell extra virgin(the best).
They are set up like in the picture below that i took from their website. You can taste all the oil before you buy it.

They place a tag with the name of what you bought on each bottle, you can re-use the bottles & save a dollar next time you come in also.

They also have a few other oils such as nuts like hazelnut, almond, & they have avocado oil. Plus the best balsamic vinegar you will ever have in your lifetime; the 25yr Aged Balsamic Vinegar..its to die for good & a little pricey at $19 a bottle. The others oils average prices were $14.50ish, again not cheap in my opinion but they are amazingly good.
We'll buy the balsamic next time we come in for sure, they also have gift cards that would make a great gift for the right person.
Ah liquid gold.

Mmmm-mm-mmm with fresh bread; Heavenly!
