The ABC’s – D
D = DIY ~ DIY – Do It Yourself
I like a DIY Bride….and actually DIY folks in general. See Im not very crafy but I enjoy learning and watching other folks create beautiful items for friends and family.
But the DIY Bride…not only do they create beautiful items for their wedding day, but they end up with a beautiful heirloom for their home as a newly married couple.
Have you ever thought about making something for your wedding day such as a card box or a wedding aisle runner? You can you know and there are a few on the web that will walk you step you step in the process.
A couple of places that I recommend that you check out are DIY Bride www.diybride.com and the DIY section of Chocolate Brides.com www.ChocolateBrides.com .
Lets start with DIYBride.com
DIYBride.com is a wesite made for the DIY bride to be. The website is the brainchild of Khris Cochran, a diy’er who was sharing her ideas with brides everywhere. Her idea started as a yahoo group and morphed into the website of today.
On DIYbride.com you can find lots of downloads for everything from how to do a candy buffet to creating invitations and menu cards.
Kris has also written a couple of books called “The DIY Bride” Its a complete how to guide with instruction and cost comparions (SWEET!) letting the reader decide whether buying or creating is more cost effective for them.
And starting March 15 (today) registration is open for workshops, the first one being Photshop Invitations 101. Im sure there will be others, check the website for details.
The website is pretty cool Grab a cup of coffee and head over to www.diybride.com Oh and join the forum while your there.
Up next….Chocolate Brides. OK Im a lil biased with this one cause I’m there quite often *smile*
ChocolateBrides.com is a website for African American brides to be but its moe than that. African American women from all around the world have come together and formed a family.
There’s a section on the site, Free Downloads, thts a DIY’ers dream space. Here’s the ladies of CB have freely shared their designs, shopping list, show to sheets and pictures of their creations.
And these ladies have come up with some creations. Grab another cup of joe and head over to www.chocolatebrides.com
There are several other spots on the website for DIY creations for your special day. Check out:
www.fiftyflowers.com (DIY Flowers Flowers)
www.do-it-yourself-weddings.com
Have a good time and dont forget to share your creations!
Cheers!

LE Buzz: Neosoul.Essentials
Ok first of all, Im in love with the product. There the cat is outta the bag lol. But Im in love cause it works.
As someone who has really dry skin, especially this time of year as the seasons change, my skin dries out. So being able to find a products that will keep my skin hydrated and not ashy looking is a good thing.
So following is a article written by the owner, CeeCee Woodard and take a look at some of the products. I highly recommend the Megamix Whip (I have it in African Musk…shhhhhh dont tell lol)
Enjoy!
Using Natural Oils for Skin Conditions
You’ve all heard that the skin is the largest organ on the body; not only does it help protect your body; it is an important part of your appearance. However, it can be difficult to keep the skin healthy at all times – rashes, sunburn and acne may occur and compromise the health of the skin. When this happens, it is not always necessary to reach for an over the counter remedy that may or may not work. Natural remedies are often better for the skin and are more effective.
Natural remedies are safe, but it is also important to proceed with caution where the skin is concerned. They should be treated with the same caution as an over the counter remedy. Each person’s skin reacts differently to different medicines, including the ingredients in many home remedies.
“Natural” does not always mean that it’s right for everyone. After all, arsenic is natural! Don’t use any natural remedies that contain an ingredient to which you are allergic. In addition, be careful with large portions of the skin that need to be treated. For example, if your arm has broken out in an eczema rash, test on a small part of your arm before covering the whole area. By doing this, you ensure that the natural remedy that you use will not irritate the skin condition any further.
Here is a quick list of natural oils that are good for the skin:
Shea Butter – A product of the shea nut, shea butter can be used on the skin for the treatment of sunburn, eczema, stretch marks, scars and wrinkles. Shea butter may be combined with a liquid oil to improve skin “spreadablity”. Of course, it is advised to do a small patch test on your skin to determine there is no allergic reaction.
Hemp Seed Oil – Products that contain hemp seed oil can help reduce inflammation in the skin, such as what occurs in eczema outbreaks and penetrates deep into the skin to help alleviate dry skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Virgin Coconut Oil – An excellent oil for the skin, virgin coconut oil (VCO) may help delay wrinkles and serves as a great moisturizer for the skin. VCO is also wonderful for skin massage.
If you try these natural oil remedies for the skin or products that contain these natural oils, you may find out that they work better for you than those over-the- counter remedies.
Please note that this information is not meant to diagnose or treat any skin condition or disease, nor is it meant to give medical advice. Contact a medical professional on advice on how to treat your specific skin conditions.
