Raw Honey | Acne Week

Hello there!
I'm going to start a series- it's about time I started posting, isn't it? Hopefully I'll... enlighten you a little.
The most beautiful thing I have discovered lately is raw honey. Yep. It's amazing. I use it for everything. I am fortunate enough to live in the country, on the same road as a beekeeper. And that beekeeper has reasonable prices and large amounts of raw honey. Yay!
I mostly use it for eating (on everything- it tastes so good!) but I also use it for natural remedies and skincare. I'm moving toward not putting chemicals in or on my body, so this stuff is a miracle! I also know exactly where it came from and what's in it (uhh... honey?) because I know the people who harvested and processed it. It's fantastic. Raw honey is great in all sorts of ways, including having healing and antibacterial properties. I struggle with acne and extreme klutziness, so I wash my face with it in the morning and use it like Polysporin on minor cuts and scrapes. It really helps my skin to heal more quickly!

Here's a lovely pimple spot-treatment from Empowered Sustenance to send you off with.
This is what she says:
                      "I mix raw honey with enough cinnamon to form a paste, add some freshly grated nutmeg, and store it in a small container in my bathroom. I’ll leave this spot treatment on for a couple of hours. If you want to use it as a full face mask, leave it on for only 10-15 minutes."

Hope you have just as much luck as I did with it. I'll see you again tomorrow!

Hello there! Here's my newest escapade: I've stopped shampooing my hair. That's right. I've also stopped using conditioner- for the second time. Here's the link to that article: here. I now wash my hair with aloe vera juice, and condition with coconut oil. I've only done it once and my hair hasn't entered the "detox" stage of rejecting everything in general. It's incredibly soft and the ends are impressively less crunchy. I harvest the aloe juice from my aloe vera plant and pour it through my hair about half an hour before I shower. I warm up about half a teaspoon (I know, it isn't much!) of coconut oil and spread it evenly through my hair from my earlobes down. I'll keep you up to date on how it's going!
That's about it,
Anna

I'm Trying to Have a Nice Face.

Hello there! I've decided to write because I've made the leap and I'm going to post my acne journey online. This may be a very bad idea.
Today I broke down and popped my pimples. I had been keeping myself from doing it for a really long time, and I really regret it today. My face is swollen and red, and it's worse than it's ever been.
That's a nice image. Sorry about that.
Hopefully I'll have good news soon!
