¨˜”°º• Glamoury MagicK ~ Beauty From Inside & Outside •º°”˜¨
-
"Glamoury" meant spellcraft but was more tied into the arts of the eyes, and what can be done to and with them. It was particularly tied into the arts of deception. The word took many variant forms, such as "glamourie," "glammerie" and "glaumerie." To "glamour" someone meant to bewitch or fascinate them. " Glamour-craft " came to mean spellcraft, " glamour-might " came to mean magic power and "glamour-gift" came to mean a natural ability to charm or enchant. "Glamourous" or "glamorous" meant magickal, in its original sense, but we have seen it sink to a completely warped meaning in Modern English.
When one hears of "glamour" today, they rarely think of spellcraft and even less of Latin and Greek. The downfall was a natural one, however. It is similar to the descent of the word "charm," which we have already discussed. "Having a compelling charm," as a dictionary entry, just doesn't convey the same meaning as it once would have. We now associate "Glamor" with make-up, overdone hairstyles and a magazine stocked next to Vogue and Cosmopolitan. How the mighty have fallen, to the wiles of women, no less.

Looking Good - Citrus and Beauty
Fading age spots can be done with creams that are on the market. This recipe will also fade age and dark spots the skin can get. As with the creams, it does take time and patience to see results...
Mix the juice of 1 lemon, 1 lime, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 2 ounces of plain yogurt. Massage this mixture into the spots at least once a week, more often if the spots are extremely dark.
If you have pimples that keep popping up, try this... Dip a cotton swab in lemon juice and apply it directly to the pimple or pimples before you go to bed. Repeat this everynight until they are gone...
Mix 2 ounces of Witch Hazel with 10 drops of lemon juice for a lemony skin toner for problem skin. This will control oily skin and cleanse surface oil and dirt that contributes to acne. You can mix this up in a bottle and keep it in the refrigerator for a cooling treatment for the face...
Get yourself 3 ripe oranges, Squueze the juice in a tub of warm water. Soak for 15-20 minutes. The orange juice will rejuvenate dry skin...
Tangerine oil can reduce the appearance of stretch marks. This can be purchased in health food stores. Mix the tangerine oil with a few drops of olive oil to dilute it. Rub the stretch marks and leave the oil on the skin. Keep in mind, any citrus oils shouldn't be used on skin that is exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time...
Cellulite a problem? This might help take care of some of the "dimples" that look better on your face than on your rear...
Mix one cup of corn oil with 1/2 cup of grapefruit juice and 2 teaspoons of dried thyme. Massage the mixture into the areas that are dimpled, such as your thighs and buns. Cover the areas with plastic wrap for 5 minutes and rinse off or wipe off with a damp washcloth... -
Aphrodite's Sacred Milk & Flower Bath Recipe
1 Quarter Milk
10 Drops EO Of Orange
6 Drops EO Of Ylang Ylang
2 Drops EO Of Jasmine
4 Drops EO Of Neroli
4 Drops EO Of Sandalwood
While bath is filling, heat the milk in a saucepan (taking care not to boil it) and mix the essential oils into the warm milk.
To use: Pour the milk and oil mixture into the bath just before entering and relax for at least 20 minutes, adding hot water as needed to keep the temperature comfortable. Light a few candles and add a fresh vase of flowers to attune with Aphrodite's energy.
Aphrodite is the Goddess of love and beauty. According to myth, she sprang up from the sea, fully formed, upon a giant seashell. Aphrodite was free to choose her lover and gave birth to Eros, God of love. The Aphrodite archetype governs a woman's enjoyment of love, beauty, sexuality, and sensuality. Creative work is also fueled by the intense passions of Aphrodite.
P.S. EO = Essential Oil -
Cucumber Eye Relief Pads
These easy-to-make eye soothing pads are great to use when your eyes are sore and tired after a long day. Just as effective as the kind you buy at the pharmacy or beauty parlour, but all-natural, made with ingredients you choose yourself.
1 regular sized cucumber
2 tablespoons aloe vera gel (fresh, from the plant is best)
1 tablespoon distilled water
heavy-duty paper towels
Small, re-sealable container to hold the pads
Prepare the cucumber: Thoroughly wash the outside of the cucumber, but you don't have to peel it. Using a regular grater, grate the entire cucumber onto a plate, making sure not to lose any of the juice. Transfer the pile of juicy, grated cucumber into a paper towel. Squeeze to remove as much of the juice as possible, catching the juice in a small mug or bowl.
Add the aloe gel to the mixture and the distilled water. Gently mix the ingredients together.
Use heavy-duty paper towels or clean facecloths (that you can re-use) to make the pads. Cut into sizes to fit inside the container - either small squares or circles, depending on the shape of your container. I've found that tiny 'snack-size' containers made by Tupperware work very well. Place the pile of cut pieces of paper towels or face cloths into the container, and pour the liquid mixture over top. Seal, and allow to sit overnight.
The next day: The mixture should be absorbed into the squares or rounds of paper towels. To use - lay a pad lightly on your eyes and sit and relax for at least 10-15 minutes. When you remove it your eyes will feel refreshed and wonderful! -

Anything for eye bags??? i often look like panda one
-
Eye bags are due to water retention & lack of sleep. Do not drink water an hour before u sleep, sleep early have enough rest.Originally posted by harryryan:Anything for eye bags??? i often look like panda one
To reduce eye bags:
Tip #1 - Used teabag dried. Add iced water to it & put directly on both eyes like eye mask for 15-20 minutes to reduce swellings. All Teabags also will do but Camomile work best!
Tip #2 - Sliced Cucumbers put directly on both eyes for 15 minutes then discard.
Tip #3 - Peel the skin of Persimmon & apply directly on both eyes for 15 - 20 minutes, then discard. Can reduce dark eye cicles too!
Go try it!

BODY ODORS
Body odors denotes a deficiency of magnesium, B6, zinc, and PABA. Take a good multi-vitamin daily to make sure you are getting your proper vitamins and minerals.
Use a cup of vinegar in your bathwater if you have an odor problem.
Use a cup of baking soda in your bathwater if you have an odor problem.
Use an antiperspirant/deodorant that has an antibacterial agent in it. Suave makes a good one.
For mouth odors, take chlorophyll tablets. Brush your teeth every time you eat. Always use a good mouthwash.
Eat some cinnamon every day.
Drink horsetail tea daily or dissolve 3 silica tablets under the tongue morning and evening. Can purchase at health food stores.
Take B-12 and zinc for any body odor.
Add 3 cups tomato juice to a bathtub of water and soak in it for 15 minutes to get rid of odors. Tomato juice is supposed to remove skunk odors.
Drink a cup of warm tomato juice to which you have added 1/2 tsp. dried sage.
Six charcoal tablets (the kind you get from a health food store) taken internally will stop odors and gas. It will also turn your feces jet black while you are taking it.
If you eat garlic or onions, I am told you can get rid of the odors by chewing on a sprig of parsley or a coffee bean. -
Hi Ryan,Originally posted by harryryan:ha ha...how u know i have oily skin???
Oily skin, you got to use gel or water based cleansers as they will absorb excess oil form the skin sebum deep down, there is also a possibility that you got combination skin, which is oily on the outside but dry inside. This kind of skin requires deep hydration inside & remove excess oil from outside. A balancing lotion works best, if you are ok financially, i would recommend you shiseido Balancing Lotion. If you are looking for cheaper avenue, maybe Astringent that are alcohol-free.Living_in_fairyland -

Looking Good - Banana Beauty
No time to rush out and purchase a facial mask? Mash 1/2 of a banana and apply. Relax for a half hour and then remove with cool water. Bananas are rich in oils that will keep the skin from drying out...
If you are looking for an exfoliating mask, blend a mashed banana with white cosmetic clay and apply. This mask is both moisturizing and nourishing...
For damaged hair, combine a ripe banana with a few drops of almond oil. Massage into your hair and leave on for about 15 minutes. Covering with a plastic baf intensifies the benefits. Rinse with soda water and then shampoo and condition as usual...
Your hands will love bananas as well. Mash a banana with a little butter or olive oil and then rub the mixture into your hands...
A few banana facts...
Did you know that 8 oz of milk contain the same amount of potassium as a banana?
The Body Shop used 250,000 bananas each year for their banana products...
