Beauty is Health

Aside from our DIS-ease-causing food products, vaccines, water sources, and "natural" surroundings, the U.S. government has also allowed poison in our hygienic and cosmetic products.

While still living with my parents, I have found better products for them to invest their money in.

Aloe Vera:
-Great sun burn and acne remedy.

-Cut off a leaf, apply the gooey clear substance inside, and allow to dry!

Deodorant:
-Antiperspirants sold in stores contain ALuminum and parabens. Clogging the pores in your arm pits with these toxic substances can increase your risk of cancer (especially breast cancer in females), ALzheimer's, and dementia.

-This deodorant contains bergamot essential oil which has antiseptic, disinfectant, and antidepressant properties among many.
-It also contains lime essential oil which carries the ability to cleanse the heart chakra, and allow space to heal emotional wounds.

Face mask:
-You guessed it! The majority of these also have toxic chemicals that cause more abnormalities in your skin, resulting in more purcha$e$.

-This one has pink (Kaolin-Illite) clay from China and Rhassoul (Moroccan Lava) clay.
-You can mix this high vibe powder with raw organic honey, organic yogurt, aloe, or floral water to create a rejuvenating mask.

Coconut oil:
-Behold the best replacement for your toxic mouth washes, moisturizers, hair balms/conditioners, and sunscreens!

-Rinsing for 20 minutes with a tablespoon of this antibacterial substance everyday for a month rid me of all the cavities my dentist wanted to fill. Replace your dentist too ;-).
-I like to mix it with skin-benefiting essential oils to give my moisturizer more effect and an even nicer smell. Lavender and tea tree are my favorite choices in this case, as they nourish the skin and prevent ingrown hairs.
-After a shower, before combing my hair, I put a little bit on my ends. This works as a conditioner and a replacement for any hair balms you may use.
-Coconut oil has an SPF of 4, which blocks 75% off UV radiation. 75% protection is about 45 minutes of sun exposure.

Essential oils:
-Not only do these have wide ranges of benefits and make for super healing aromatherapy, but they can replace all of your toxic perfumes too= win, win, win!

-My collection: oregano, patchouli, lavender, tea tree, eucalyptus, cassia, sandalwood, lime, pine needle, lemongrass, lemon, basil, aphrodisiac blend, bamboo & blue lotus blend, peppermint, sweet orange, spearmint, tangerine, rosemary, grapefruit, and a cooling Chinese head ache remedy blend.

Homemade face and body scrub:

-Coffee, salt, sugar, honey, olive oil, coconut oil, organic lemon zest, and a few drops of skin-benefiting essential oil(s) will leave you with soft, glowing skin.

Body wash and shampoo:

-Dr. Bronner's is the best brand I have found for a gel-like substance. Plus, they come in all kinds of delicious flavors.

Tooth paste options:
-FLUORIDE clogs your pineal gland. It’s through the awakening of the third eye and its corresponding pineal gland that we’re able to attain feats of telepathy, psychic vision and an intimate connection with spirit.

-A store bought option:

-A homemade option: coconut oil, activated charcoal, himalayan pink salt, peppermint essential oil, spearmint essential oil, and turmeric powder.
IMG_9092.jpg
-A simple option: put some apple cider vinegar in your mouth, dab your toothbrush in baking soda, and brush! These two antibacterial and antiseptic substances react in a toothpaste-like fashion.

Dental floss:
-Teflon and synthetic wax... No thank you!
IMG_9104.jpg
-This one has tea tree oil and beeswax instead!

Organic local soap bars:
-By shopping local, you won't be supporting corrupt corporations!
-You can even use them as face and genital wash as they are so pure.

-These are from Scooby's Farm in Davie, Florida. They make them with their own goat milk and honey, and will leave your skin smoother than a baby's butt.

Rosewater:
-It makes for a great toner, and a great "wake up call."
IMG_9094.jpg
-I handpicked white roses in California (make sure the roses you get are pesticide free), and brought them to a boil in distilled water. Then, I added essential oils of my choice.
-I even put an aphrodisiac blend of essential oils in my mother's rosewater to increase her libido.
-For acne, combine it with fresh lemon juice. Apply on spot(s) and allow to sit for 30 minutes.

Facial moisturizer:

-In case your face is too oily to handle coconut oil.

Moon cycle:
-Bleach, artificial fragrance, odor neutralizer, pesticide residue and genetically modified shit is applied into and onto the female's skin (the largest organ in the human body) and absorbed by our life-giving organs, collecting the shedding of the uterus tissue every month—a cycle necessary to grow a human.
IMG_9097.jpg
-There are so many alternative methods like these cups and period underwear, or even an old sock would do you better.

Lip balm:
-Most of these are designed to be addictive by containing, you guessed it, toxic chemicals!
IMG_9111.jpg
-Coconut oil alone also makes for a great lip balm.

Great to see your beauty∞§∞

I love you so much!!!! It will only get better ;)

Let me know what your plans/vision is for your SteemiVerse. I am a master around here can help you activate and fine tune∞§∞

My vision is all over the place... I have loved writing since I was 9, but school gradually buried that. Now that I'm homeschooling, I have had a lot more room for inspiration. Poetry, narrative, and informative are my favorite styles. I'd also love to incorporate my drawing, painting, photography, and video skills to further describe all my transmissions of love <3~

Yes school destroys creativity, passion and freedom while indoctrinating doing what your told and not thinking.
Awesome you have realized that and done something to reverse the process!
Looking forward to seeing your love flow∞§∞
