Drinking coconut water can save us from various health related problems. It contains a whole lot of supplements and nutrients that are needed to sustain life.
Potassium- It helps to lower arterial blood pressure

Glucose- It acts as a sugar needed for energy.
Vitamin C- It shields the body from several ailments.
Vitamin B – It aids in the replacement of worn out tissues.
Manages Stress:
Coconut oil consists of Vitamin B derivatives like riboflavin, thiamine and pantothenic acid which help to reduce stress, anxiety and DEPRESSION.
As Moisturizer:
Coconut water can be used as a moisturizer during both summers and winters. It has a light consistency and can be an excellent moisturizer that can be APPLIED all over the body. It is an ideal moisturizer for people with oily skin as it helps to reduce the oiliness of the skin. Coconut water consumption enhances the skin from within.
Conditions Hair:
Coconut water also moisturizes the hair and possesses the ability of penetrating into the hair shaft by conditioning the hair from within. The water can be consumed and can also be used to wash hair.
These are just a few of the MANY benefits of COCONUT WATER!!

Ready, Set, Bronze!

Step One: Bronzer goes on after face makeup (foundation, concealer, and powder) but before blush. You can use any type of brush you like. My personal preference is a brush with soft, short bristles so I can control my placement.
Step Two: Using a sweeping motion, you're going to imagine that you're drawing a number 3 on your face. Bronzer should go along the hairline/upper forehead, just below the cheekbone and just below the jawline.
Step Three: Blending is super important, especially down the neck. Make sure everything is smoothly blended. If you feel like there's a harsh line that you can't get rid of, try using a little bit of translucent powder to smooth it out.

A Natural Toner Tip!

If you suffer from acne and want to make the apple cider vinegar toner that cured mine, here is how!
1. Purchase YOUR apple cider vinegar.

Make sure it’s organic, unfiltered, unpasteurized and that it has the “mother” in it. The “mother” is the somewhat gross, brownish strand that you will find floating in your vinegar.
2. Pour a small amount of the apple cider vinegar into a glass container.
The amount of apple cider vinegar that you use will depend on how much toner you want to make but I RECOMMEND starting with about a tablespoon.
3. Now dilute the apple cider vinegar with filtered or distilled water.
Here, the amount of water that you use will depend on whether or not you have sensitive skin. A RATIO of one part apple cider vinegar to two or three parts water is most common but, if you have sensitive skin, you'll want to use a little more water. You may have to play around with the ratio of your toner a bit, but once you find what works best for you skin, it will be worth it!
4. To use your APPLE cider vinegar toner, pour a little onto a cotton pad and apply it to your skin after cleansing.
Wait until the toner has dried and then use whatever other lotions, potions and creams you wish. Do this twice a day or any time you wash your face.
Will this toner for work for every person and every kind of acne? Of course not! But if you've tried everything else, this natural, organic apple cider vinegar toner may be what your skin has been WAITING for!

Sleeping Beauty TIPS!

Sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase.
These fibers will keep you from waking up with a bird's nest on top of your head, and their texture softens wrinkles and fine lines because it causes less friction between your skin and the pillowcase. Silk is easier on hair — it helps avoid tangles and breakage. It's also better for the skin because the material glides easily and prevents creasing and wrinkles.

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.
For a fresh, dewy look in the morning, make sure to use an anti-aging night cream that contains hyaluronic acid. It attracts water into the skin, which helps smooth wrinkles, Francesca Fusco, M.D., a New York City dermatologist, told Good Housekeeping. Dr. Jaliman recommends always APPLYING lip balm before sleep, moisturizing your eyelashes with a lash conditioner, and never skipping your nightly beauty cream or serum. These products work better during the "repair cycle of the skin," which is at night, she says.
Change your pillowcases often.
"Wash YOUR pillowcases frequently, so you're not resting your lovely skin on top of bacteria nests for eight hours a night," advises Chicago makeup artist Alle Connell. Dr. Ahluwalia says you should not only CHANGE YOUR pillowcases twice a week, but flip your pillows over on days you're not changing them.
Wear your hair up — but not in a super-tight bun.
It's a good idea to keep your hair out of your face while you're sleeping to keep its natural oils from wreaking havoc on your complexion. But avoid pulling it into a really tight bun or ponytail because that can cause hair breakage, especially around the hairline. Connell SUGGESTS wrapping it up in a scarf (silk would be ideal), while Dr. Ahluwalia says that high, loose ponytail is a great way to keep your most recent blowout intact.
Go to bed with a clean face.
"So many people sleep with their makeup on and wonder why they wake up with funky eye gunk in the morning," Emily Kate Warren, a New York City makeup artist, told Good Housekeeping. "That's why." Aside from funky eye gunk, not taking off your makeup before sleep causes pore-clogging, which can lead to breakouts.
