In a minute I shall be doing the second application of the turmeric facemask that is suppose to lighten out uneven skin tone and as I have some scarring from the electrolysis I had over a decade ago which still bugs me, I will try just about anything to even out my dark patches. So I was happy to see this post by Natalie at Vintageous (she has mask of pregnancy that she is trying to get rid of).

Beauty Progress
Juicing is going great, teeth are looking fabulous and are already a shade or two lighter despite the increase of beetroot in my diet thanks to the abundance of the stuff in my juice box this week.

Sad to see some of the suggestions after the video feature self hating women trying to just look 'light'....Colourism is just plain nasty :(

Juice, teeth, body, face..stat!
Yes, I am a month past schedule in getting back on my beauty regimen.
When I thought how much more (albeit comparatively less than most people I know) time I used to put into looking good, I really do feel this last year I have let myself go. For good reason of course, who has the bloody time for all that with a young baby?
However with the Babe's growing independence and my growing social life, invitations for trips and reenactment events. I am going to need to get back to looking and feeling retro fabulous.
Luckily for me there is plenty of advice on You tube about improving one's self without needing to invest in a whole lot of dosh wot wot...firstly is the lovely Natalie at Vintageous talking about how she got her pearly whites...
Luckily one thing I always have to hand is plenty of bicarb!
She also has plenty of videos to aid me in improving my skin and a good old pin up work out! ;o)
As for my hair, this is a really good video showing a 50's style set on natural afro hair.
Since my hair is 100% natural now, this is the type of style I tend to go for when I bother to do it at all.
I am hoping that with a few weeks of working hard on myself, I will feel beautiful and confidant and the beginning of this season. Hope these videos give you some inspiration about where to start on your beauty regime, especially if you have a had a bit of a break like I have.
