The Perfect Facial Oil

Actually I haven't found one that I loved so I checked out some formulas on pintrest and made my own. I love love love it! Here's how you do it cheaply and easily with ingredients from Amazon.




1. First I bought 2oz glass amber bottles (the darker color protects the oil from light). You can buy 12 for $9. Make some extras and give them as Christmas presents.

Glass Amber Bottles 2 oz with glass dropper (12 each)

2. You have to pick a base or a carrier oil. I used Jojoba Oil 100%. It's a perfect moisturizer and is gentle on the skin, nails and hair. This should be 50% of your mixed oil.

Jojoba Oil for Hair and Skin - 100 Percent Pure Cold Pressed Oil - No Fillers, Dyes or Artificial Ingredients of Any Kind - Made in the USA (1 bottle - 4 oz)

3. Almond oil is the next ingredient I use because it is full of vitamin E and is very easily absorbed into the skin. This should be 30% of your mixed oil.

NOW Foods Almond Oil, 4 Ounce

3. Next I added rosehip seed oil which is full of omega-6 fatty acids which are great for your skin it helps prevent scarring and fine lines but it is very strong and it must be diffused. This should be 10% of your mixed oil.

Radha Beauty Rosehip Oil - 100% Pure Cold Pressed Certified Organic 4 fl. oz. - BEST moisturizer to heal Dry Skin & Fine Lines - Virgin Rose Hip Seed Oil For Face and Skin



5. Finally I add maracuja oil which is excellent for aging skin full of vitamin C that helps prevent wrinkling and it doesn't clog pores it also needs to be diffused. This should be 20% of your mixed oil.

MARACUJA OIL. 100% Pure / Natural. Cold Pressed / Undiluted. For Face, Hair and Body. 0.5 Fl. Oz -15 Ml. By Botanical Beauty


I'd start by making a little and see how the combination works for you. Oil should be the last thing you put on your face at night. The oil can penetrate your moisturizer but not the other way around. I put a drop on my forehead and one on each cheek and rub it in. Don't forget you neck. Good luck!

Stella Dot Tunic and Flared Jeans

It's been getting into the 80s almost all week although it starts out in the 50s so I'm having to plan my outfits carefully. But I'm glad to bring this Stella Dot Tunic out for fall. I paired it with some flare jeans and moccasins for a bohemian look. I also added a bunch of cute eBay bangles, check it out. P.S. Scarlett really loves getting Coco in my shot.

This tunic is really beautiful and I always get a lot of compliments. The embroidery is really nice.

This one isn't as quite as fancy but it's has some similarities and is a fraction of the price.


Fall sale is happening right now and these are really comfortable.
