La La Lavender

                        
   It’s finally the weekend! …But sometimes it can be difficult to let go of all of the stress and tension that you’ve been dealing with during the past week. One natural product that can help to ease all of that tension is lavender. This simple, yet gorgeous flower can be used in so many different ways; it’s pretty awesome. It’s mainly used to calm the mind, skin, and stomach. So here are some ways to incorporate lavender into your lives!



 Lavender Scent 

Smelling lavender, or using a lavender scented oil is known to reduce heart rate and blood pressure! So if you have trouble sleeping, it’s worth giving this technique a try. Before going to bed rub some lavender oil on parts of your body (such as the temples), or keep some dried lavender in a vase on your nightstand.















Some beauty products that already have lavender in them are MAC's Lavender Fix +  and the LUSH Angels on Bare Skin

         

Design
Lavender just seems to be the perfect topping to make anything aesthetically pleasing! Use some lavender as a garnish for an iced drink.


Strawberry Pink Lemonade recipe from Simplyrecipes.com


 Lavender Tea
Place a few fresh or dried lavender buds into hot water and enjoy some calming tea.


So grab some lavender and take a break!

Highlight on Fleek

      Jaclyn Hill has had us going crazy for the past few months as we waited
     for the release of her new highlighter "Champagne Pop"! Jaclyn collaborated with
         Becca cosmetics and created a new color for their "Shimmering Skin Perfector" line.                 
         Becca has become very (and we mean very) popular for their highlighters in the 
      past few years. "Moonstone" and "Opal" should definitely sound familiar to you if 
        you're a highlighter fanatic like us. "Champagne Pop" has the same formula 
       as the rest of their skin perfectors and is very smooth, creamy, and has tiny specks
   of shimmer that give the skin an effortless glow. If you're looking for a go to Summer            
      highlighter we would definitely recommend "Champagne Pop." It gives off a            
        golden/peachy highlight that goes perfect with a Summer bronzy look.
        Jaclyn was aiming to create a universal highlighter that would look flattering/amazing
   on all skin tones and it truly seems like she did! 



We didn't expect anything but amazingness from the oh so fabulous Jaclyn Hill.
