Yoga Recipe to avoid excess

Eat a little, drink a little

Talk a little, sleep a little,

Do a little, move a little,

Serve a little, rest a little,

work a little, relax a little

I think that as simple as this yoga saying is, or actually as hard as it is, it could be a great natural,  simple and cheap remedy for many problems due to excesses. I know it sounds very general and obvious but sometimes it is all we need.
 I will try to put it in practice one day a month. A kind of cleansing day were all my habits, concerns, desires, problems and projects are put to sleep and will leave space for meditation and silence. But only a little! ;)

Yogurt Make Up Remover

 Simple does not mean boring! Especially during winter when your skin is pale and everything around us is so dreary I think a little make up is essential. It makes you feel prettier and more confident throughout the day. Something I do not like though is using the regular makeup removers before going to bed. To me they have a strong fake "good" odor that interferes with my sleep. I know, I am very sensitive. It must be my long Italian nose! But for every problem there is a solution. I found this great natural make up remover recipe that satisfies me 100%. 

Yogurt make up remover   

Average price: solution $0.20  vial $1

Needed:

1 spoon yogurt (I use homemade yogurt)

1 teaspoon honey (I prefer it not pasteurized, just because then I can also eat it. However for this particular project you do not need a special quality)

1 teaspoon almond oil, or any other delicate oil. (Almond oil  is the best one because it almost has no smell, I will stay away in this case from olive oil for the opposite reason)

1/4 cup distilled water or chamomile. (But in an emergency regular water is fine too)

 

Instructions:

• Combine all the ingredients in a little bowl
• Mix them well
• Transfer into a little bottle or vial
• Use it whenever you need it
• Keep refrigerated.  (It will last for about a week)
