Apple Cider Vinegar + Green Tea - Acne.org Message Boards
i just started using this home-made toner tonight; instead of adding the oils and chamomile tea, i just used 50:50 of apple cider vinegar:green tea. ehhh, i did not use organic apple cider vinegar though, so i am a little weary of that. i will probably purchase the organic acv tomorrow, but until then, i hope that what i have will do. hopefully, it will not worsen my acne; that would make me real sad! >.< haha. but, i really love how creative you got with the toner. it sounds like it would be amazing for the skin! :) but back to the organic apple cider vinegar: every website that i have checked out about acv states that you "must use organic apple cider vinegar that contains the "mother", because the non-organic brands contain chemicals that your body can absorb yaddayaddayadda..."did you use organic acv? okayokay, i am done rambling now, haha.:)

Newsprint we can do next week, but for right now I wanted/needed a manicure by a professional. As I told you in the first “Get Yo’ Nails Did”, it’s important to include real manicures in your nail routine if you’re not comfortable cutting your cuticles and getting into the real work at home.
How To Shape Your Eyebrows Like a Pro!
Every makeup artist I have ever spoken to says eyebrows are the most important facial feature. All angles of the face are determined by the brows: they can lift the eyes; narrow or widen the face. While there is a lot of opportunity here, it is important to let your natural shape be your guide. It is probably close to optimal for your face and anything too drastic can look unnatural.
