A Spoonful of Vinegar.

"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."
-Wayne W. Dyer

Vinegar, on my face?  Come again?  It took me some time to wrap my mind around this notion that vinegar could be used as toner.  And, since I am totally for trying new things (totally) it seemed like a grand idea.  Organic apple cider vinegar, how bad could you be?  Of course I only made this decision upon reading many, many, many reviews.  And those reviews were raving.  It seemed that I was out of the loop (I could not believe it).

Apparently, apple cider vinegar has amazing health benefits.  Not only can it be used to clear skin blemishes, but, you can drink it.  Yes, drink it.  Apple cider vinegar can be used as a remedy for heartburn, to improve bowel irregularity, helping the body to breakdown fat instead of storing it and it helps to alleviate joint pain & stiffness.  Basically, this stuff is pretty amazing.

So, one afternoon I made the decision that I would incorporate apple cider vinegar as a part of my daily skincare routine.  Yup.  Yes, I did.  And, I used it for a couple of weeks (it was great).  Until one day my sweet husband told me I smelled like a salad.  Yes, a salad.  I must admit, the strong scent is a bit difficult to grow accustomed to.  I caught myself spraying a tad bit more of Coco Mademoiselle in the mornings to mask the odor (it didn't work).  So, as quick as it came, it went.  Though, I must say, it did seem to be working.  And if you can get past smelling like lunch you should definitely try it.  Give it a week, a month, two months, your skin will thank you.  I for one had to say adios.  I much prefer my husband's kisses.
