Coffee Mask & Scrub

by Kymberly Muego Maitland-SmithLeave a Comment on Coffee Mask & Scrub

 

Waste coffee grinds, no more!
There are so many amazing uses for coffee grounds, but using it as a mask & scrub has to be one of my favourites. One, because it smells so damn good, and secondly, because your skin feels incredible after.

You can also add different ingredients to your coffee grinds such as:

  • coconut oil – moisturising
  • olive oil – moisturising
  • brown sugar – extra exfoliation
  • tea tree oil – antibacterial, great for acne
  • lavender oil – calming, great for acne and scars
  • honey – moisturising and anti-bacterial (non-vegan option)

Benefits of exfoliation:

  • removes dead skin cells
  • helps unclog pores that can cause pimples
  • evens skin tone
  • increases cell turnover
  • helps increase the absorption of skin care products

Enjoy! Namasté.

Trust

by Kymberly Muego Maitland-SmithLeave a Comment on Trust

Last Thursday, I chose a card from my mentor’s super pretty oracle deck which read, ‘Trust your path.’

I used to constantly question my life path and my choices and found that trusting myself was one of the hardest things to do. I realized that feeling that way put me in a stagnant cycle where I was stayed stuck and obstructed any real growth in myself and in my life. I do still struggle with trusting some of the decisions I make, but I have stopped questioning my path.

Living everyday knowing that there’s so much to learn, remember, and share gives me a reason to live, have faith, and look ahead. Whatever path you are on, trust it. There is always gain where there is trust 🙏🏼

[Telling myself this while I do tarot readings haha… practice makes perfect 😆 trust trust trust!]

PS. I started practicing tarot about a year ago with Windy at The Gassho Center in Cebu. Fell in love with how they serve guidance to everyday issues, questions or thoughts and I continue to do self-readings and (rarely) read for others as I am still learning to TRUST myself 🙏🏼♥️ For those who are interested in learning, do some research and don’t be afraid! It’s fun and they can assist you in life!
