I started writing about my favorite beauty tips and tricks earlier in my blog. I love sharing what I find and try online or my own ideas with friends.

I will add more, but here are some starters to get that glowing skin we ladies love.

Hot Body Scrub

I found and fell in love with this after reading The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone. A great book with lots of clean eating ideas (I digress, but it is a good book).

This scrub gets the circulation...

I made this for dinner the other night and it was so good. Pic is included. I used chicken breasts, but could also use legs and thighs if preferred.
The tomatoes pop with sweet tartness and the chicken is so moist .Enjoy !!

Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Veggies.

4 Chicken Breasts (Boneless, skinless)
4-5 garlic cloves
1 cu. Fresh Basil
1 tsp Balsamic vinegar ( I added 1 1/2 to mine for more flavor)...

I'm always trying to think of new ideas of dinner. I came across this recipe on Pinterest. It's so easy and you can make batches to freeze. I thought I would share with my AFC'ers .

Dump Chicken sounds scary. It literally is Dump chicken though. You mix ingredients and dump it into a pan and cook.

Chilli Maple Glazed Dump Chicken

1 1/2 lbs. Chicken pieces
2 Tbsp Water
1 tsp. Salt
1 1/2 Tbsp. Maple Syrup
1 Tbsp. Chili Powder...

I like designer stuff just as much as any other woman, but can't afford to pay $48 for a lipstick

I found my new best friend !! It's a dupe list of designer vs drug store products. You can search by Brand or color. They also list the differences if any between the two.

You can also add any dupes you may find on a beauty excursion. Enjoy !!http://www.temptalia.com/makeup-dupe-list

I think my lipstick and gloss collection may be larger than my nail polish collection !! I have a ton of lip tips so I will break this into two blogs.
Here are some of my pout perfecting tips ..

Once the week, I like to exfoliate my lips. I use a soft head toothbrush and sugar water (sugar dampened with a little water to make a paste).

Gently I massage the sugar on my lips and rinse. They are nice and soft . I top it with some lip balm like Nivea's.
