Mascarilla de Noche Emoliente con Miel y Canela

Los tratamientos de uso nocturno son muy recomendados para nutrir profundamente la piel de tu rostro. Prueba esta combinación de dos ingredientes muy simples y accesibles

Ingredientes:
2 cucharadas de miel
1 cucharadita de canela

Preparación:
Coloca la miel y la canela en un recipiente pequeño y mezcla hasta formar una pasta. Aplica el emoliente sobre el rostro antes de acostarte y déjalo durante toda la noche. A la mañana siguiente, enjuaga con agua tibia. Como segunda opción, puedes aplicar la pasta y dejarla actuar durante 30 minutos antes de enjuagar con agua tibia.

Tratamiento Facial con Miel y Limón

Un tratamiento rápido y eficaz para darle a tu piel ese brillo especial que se logra usando un humectante natural.

Ingredientes:
2 cucharadas de miel
1 limón

Preparación:
Parte el limón por la mitad y exprime el jugo en un recipiente pequeño, ya sea a mano o con un exprimidor.

Luego agrega la miel y mezcla ambos ingredientes hasta que queden perfectamente integrados. Aplica el tratamiento de limpieza sobre el rostro masajeando suavemente. Déjalo actuar por 15 minutos. Enjuaga con agua tibia

Bálsamo Hidratante para Pestañas y Desmaquillante de Ojos
a base de Miel

¿Cansada de usar un desmaquillante que irrita tus ojos y tu piel? Este desmaquillante no sólo es suave sino que también nutre la piel alrededor de tus ojos y tus pestañas.

Ingredientes:
1 cucharadita de miel
3 cucharaditas de aceite de ricino

Preparación:
Mezcla la miel y el aceite de ricino en un recipiente pequeño. Cubre la preparación y deja reposar durante una semana en un lugar fresco, mezclándola regularmente hasta obtener una solución homogénea. Úsala todas las noches para retirar el rimel y maquillaje de ojos, así como nutrir tus pestañas al mismo tiempo.

Ahora sí, no hay disculpa para lucir una piel limpia y saludable. Cuál es tu régimen de belleza?

Non-candy Easter Egg Hunt

3/11/2013

2 Comments

Easter is that time of the year again. Kids are looking forward not only to decorate the Easter eggs, but also to participate in the fun activities that take place all over the country.

The Easter Egg hunt is a very fun activity that keep kids entertained. In previous years the eggs were filled with candy and sweets. But as the rates of childhood obesity and other diseases associated with obesity increases, there are more parents, teachers and educators that want to provide different options instead of the candy.

Here are some ideas of things you can use to fill up the eggs instead of candy.

Erasers
Character Band-Aids
Socks
Stickers
Temporary tattoos
Mini Bubbles
Bouncy Balls

Other things you can use for your Easter Baskets are

Play-doh
Crayons
Chalk
Pencils
Coloring books

Yes, they might still get some candy, but at least there is plenty of healthy options available.
What are you going to be putting on your kids baskets this year?

Week 5 of the #Mamavation #IheartOmron ambassador program

This week I have been so busy. My son's birthday party, work, pretty much life. I was proud at the party I did not have cake and eat the salad I had made. The party was really fun. My son was sick but he still enjoyed it.
The cool thing about the party is that it was full of running and physical activity and not only the kids but the parents participating. Talk about changing our live style.

Happy to tell you that this week I lost 3.8 pounds for a total of 28.5 since starting the challenge.

I want to remind you about the twitter party where you can win the awesome tools that I got to help me with this challenge

Week 4 of the #IheartOmron #Mamavation ambassador challenge

2/3/2013

26 Comments

This is the official last week of our ambassador program, although we still will have a great twitter party to celebrate all the great things that happened to the 25 bloggers that were on this journey. However my efforts will not stop here, because this challenge was just the jump start for me. I still have more weight to lose and I will be continue with my healthy leaving and exercise plan.

I got the last tool that Omon Fitness is providing us. The Strapless Heart Rate Monitor (HR-500U) which works wonders and the best part is that since it is strapless, you just need to wear the monitor on your wrist with no more straps on your chest and also tracks pace, distance and calories burned during my walks.

Bob Greene, Oprah's personal trainer, recommends using a heart rate monitor to help you get in the zone

Now for my results let's start with the before and after pictures

I am very happy to report that this week I lost 4.7 pounds for a total of 24.7 since applying to become an #IheartOmron ambassador.

I am super grateful for this opportunity. I want to thank the Mamavation Community for their support and Omron Fitness for the awesome tools that have facilitated my progress. I also want to tell you that I am goal is to continue using the tools because I am doing this challenge to become healthier. And it is happening. I have a great non-scale victory to report: I used to hate exercising and now I look forward to that time of the day.
