Great post! Being beautiful is a cumulative process and you have outlined the essentials. I particularly love the part about doing a facial mask. There is nothing like a beautiful facial at home. Facial masks are so relaxing but also offer great natural vitamins and minerals for the skin to keep it radiant, supple, and glamorous!
