One of my favorite ways to simplify my life is by getting the most out of the things that I already have!

Picture this – you wake up in the morning and blend up a super healthy green shake. Instead of throwing away the peels, you save them for the evening. When you come home, you’ve had a busy day and want to relax. Take out those peels, and give youself a lovely 15 minute steam treatment. You breathe in the orange essential oils, you feel good and you get a quality facial too!

Orange essential oils found in orange peels are a great astringent for the skin. With the steam, it helps to open the pores and really clean them out – it’s especially good for brightening up tired, dull skin. Here’s a great tip: Follow your steam treatment with a very gentle Home Microdermabrasion. Your skin is going to glow and feel amazing – you’ll love it!

Green shakes and facials – talk about beauty from the inside out! 🙂

Orange Creamsicle Smoothie

ingredients: 

  • 1 banana (best frozen)
  • 1 orange
  • 1/2 lime (Tahitian lime is my fav)
  • 1 very small nib of ginger
  • 1-2 cups of leafy greens
  • 2 cups of water

directions:

  • throw everything into a blender and blend it up until smooth! I think it’s best if your banana is frozen to make it really creamy. This amount makes enough for two servings.
