on it, honey! Honey naturally kills bacteria and will dry up those pimples in no time. Put
a little dot on your problem area for 10 minutes - on clean skin - before rinsing off, or
create your own mask with honey and oats for a simple, moisturizing, and healing
midnight treat.

Your Weekly Horoscope: March 25-31

Capricorn

Everything's coming up roses and optimism rules this Sunday. Life is for living and you cannot wait to partake in all those new and rewarding experiences that are waiting to welcome you! Tackle your goals this Monday with as much patience and confidence as you can muster. Community concerns may come to your attention this afternoon. This Tuesday you are interested in grasping the larger picture regarding some viewpoint or occurrence. Input and ideas from people are welcome. Someone in your working environment sends confusing silent messages this Wednesday. You may need to concentrate on the most intelligent way to handle a situation. You will want to be careful about any involvement with someone in the close work environment. This Thursday is a good time to throw yourself into work, though you should check the desire to complain about others who do not work as hard. Continued success on the career level this Friday may point to your abandoning some of your personal ideas of how you would like to progress. New ideas and an independent or pioneering mental orientation will probably be a good thing at this time. This Saturday is a good time to use home as a vehicle for entertaining.

Sagittarius

You may be prone to impulsiveness this Sunday. If you plan to shop, you might do best if you make out a list and stick to it; otherwise, there are temptations. This Monday is a lucrative time for you financially, but there are risks as well as rewards. Some kind of healing process is at work in your life: you isolate what doesn't work, eliminate it and go on from there. This Tuesday is a great time to be involved in some group situation. You may be sought after as just the person for a particular undertaking. This Wednesday you may find a perfect balance between your career needs and personal needs. This should bring about an inner peace that you rarely get a chance to enjoy. Ambition takes center stage this Thursday. Achievements that win you rewards and recognition are yours for the making. Relationships with loved ones are positive. Others will certainly notice your good mood this Friday. You have quick answers, a great wit and a surplus of insights. Your ideas are easily understood--your communication skills are at a high-water mark. A cycle of domesticity begins this Saturday. This is an excellent weekend to work on the taxes or finances in order to work out satisfactory future security for your family. Check out the new tax breaks.

Pisces

This Sunday is a good time to assess what changes or improvements you would like to make in your work, if necessary. Ambition and achievement may become tough taskmasters this Monday. You win reward, recognition and authority through hard work and knowing the score. Much is accomplished today. This Tuesday is not a good time to make large business decisions; you may be asked for your opinion and this will be more important. As new beginnings seem to occur for the earth in the springtime--there are new beginnings for you in the workplace. You may work extra hard this Wednesday and feel that you are not making progress. However, by the end of this day, you will see much progress. Broadening your intellectual and spiritual horizons take on a high priority this Thursday. An authority figure could be hard to connect with this Friday. Have patience, this is all elementary, whether you think so or not--nothing is ever as it seems. Friendships and involvement in group activities, perhaps in a religious setting, play an important part in your Saturday. Friends are truly a rich gift and the satisfaction that comes from accomplishing things in cooperation with others is something no one can take away from you.

Aquarius

Projects you have worked on for many months will probably reach completion this Sunday. Be sure to check if these activities produce the results you expect and that those results are as important to you as you thought they would be. Be your own judge! Work goals take on priority this Monday morning. This Tuesday it may seem that almost everyone is trying to pick a fight with you. This will all pass with very little repercussions, believe it or not. This Wednesday is a good time to work out a difficult situation with a friend or associate. Cooperation and flexibility are the keys to successful communication. Your mental impressions are strong this Thursday and you excel in positions where quick decisions are vital. Your home is due for some basic enhancements but remember that it is your home. Do not let contractors take advantage of you or get too many friends involved in advising you. A yearning to broaden your horizons and reach for the ultimate may create a kind of wanderlust this Friday. This could call for travel or even a move of your living quarters. You feel very good about yourself this Saturday and others tend to support your self-confidence. If you enjoy your work, this is a good day to expand your horizons.

Aries

A light heart begins this Sunday. This may be from reading poetry or watching a beautiful sunrise. Memories come back to you and it is hard to get them out of your mind. Consider writing a poem about particular memories. This Monday you will be able to tackle tasks that require real discipline or organization. This Tuesday, make sure both your expectations of your abilities are realistic before diving into something you may not be able to get out of without harm or embarrassment. You may react suddenly against things that previously seemed the normal thing to do. This Wednesday is a good time to work out a difficult situation in the workplace. Your ability to respond in cooperative ways is one key to your success. You follow instructions well and can guide others in responsible ways. Your energy is high and your creative ideas are abundant, ready to be applied to the work at hand. With your enthusiasm this Thursday, you should find success with every project. You have a natural sense of what the public wants at this time. This Friday is a great day to be working. You may also be helping a friend find a job today. This Saturday you could probably vow that you are playing the lead in a medieval love drama.

Taurus

You may decide this Sunday that it is time to involve yourself with a few different pieces of literature to update and improve your business knowledge. You may have been thinking about teaching. You might decide this Monday is the right time for planning or taking that trip you have been wanting. This Tuesday is the perfect time for new ideas. Round table discussions with co-workers, friends or family bring surprisingly wonderful results. This Wednesday morning you may tend to judge others too harshly--careful, it works both ways. As usual, however, your kind and considerate actions will win out in any difficult communication. You may not place much value on the ideas of others this Thursday. You may find it easy to overdo or work at cross-purposes to yourself. This can result in a frustrating day; it is temporary however. This Friday may not be the best time for career or vocational decisions and practical advice to others. You could be experiencing a cycle of nostalgia. Family, home, relatives and real estate play a big part in your life. You may spend a little time this Saturday assessing the changes or improvements you would like to make in yourself, especially as you would like to present yourself in more professional ways.

Gemini

This Sunday you may find some books and theories on a few problem-solving techniques that would be helpful in the workplace.

Indulge your curiosity because this Tuesday your imagination and creativity are at their best. Career strivings will meet with success this Wednesday. A business hunch of yours is right on the money. You are at your most practical when it comes to dealing and working with others this Thursday. The technical steps of a project may slow you a bit this morning but others find you happy to work the cobwebs out for now. You will have an opportunity to show off your ability to solve problems in the workforce this Friday. The more you work to earn the big bucks, the more you seem to enjoy your professional choices. The planets are arranged just right for you and a loved one to visit perhaps a different religious group this Saturday. Widening the scope of possibilities or enjoying the different rituals, you may use this experience to deepen your own relationship and learn about each other.

Cancer

You may be able to express some of your futuristic ideas today. Innovative thoughts gather steam--you may find that eventually, your ideas will be accepted. The best action for this Tuesday is to complete projects, plan and concentrate on whatever needs the most attention for now. This, of course, is temporary. Your personal charm is most impressive to others this Wednesday. There is a key to increased earnings and dynamic social success--and it is charm. Everything points to your taking the initiative this Thursday. You have a larger amount of work to get through than usual today; help is available. You appear perhaps more charming and refined than usual this Friday. Now is the best time to schedule in that date, apply for the job or otherwise make yourself known. There is a willingness to conform more to a comfortable way of living and less insistence on independence and adventure this Saturday.

In the workplace this Monday you could find that you are appreciated or valued for your feelings or your ability to act and get things done. Do not worry so much, plans that have been made in the past will create the path for you to follow this Tuesday and with successful results. Do not respond too quickly to matters that come to your attention. A knack for knowing how to put people, ideas and things together profitably will be recognized this Wednesday.

Your expressiveness will enhance your influence over others. Children enjoy learning and having you as a mentor.

Virgo

This Sunday should be one of those feel-good days. You make your way now by using practical vision and common sense. You might like to ignore responsibilities and do some socializing this Monday, but the day may demand that you tend to business. Outside of work this Tuesday you may decide to take up a study--perhaps something that would help you in your profession. You know there is no end to learning . . . perhaps also in the varied way lessons are taught. Make sure you sign what you need to sign and that you write down what you need to remember--this could be a very busy Wednesday. A sense of value and valuing may find you lavishing affection on loved ones this evening. Many projects come to fruition this Thursday, especially large ones. A financial increase is in the making. Self-discipline and a sense of self-worth become important issues in your life this Friday. A fear of asserting yourself can hold you back--as can coming on too strong.

Work is definitely not on the back burner this Wednesday as you are inspired to be productive. Positive things are happening. This Thursday is an easy, calm day that should find everything running in a smooth manner. You can demonstrate a great deal of understanding. Interaction with authority figures or older people may be possible. Perseverance in your work this Friday should be exercised as much as possible--especially since slow and steady wins the race. Your judgment is good and will lead to success. You may have trouble trying to express yourself to someone this Saturday because they will hear little logic, but much emotion. This situation, however, makes you an excellent listener to all that may seek your guidance.

Scorpio

Planning and goal setting seem to be the thought process for this Sunday morning. Financial matters are definitely getting better! Some sort of financial windfall is in the cards for this next week--possibly real estate. Although this could be a very busy Monday, it is one that can offer several opportunities for love and money. A disappointment this Tuesday will present opportunities for you to respond in a negative or positive way. A secret admirer will slip and let his or her identity be known this Wednesday. You will be dealing with all types of personalities today. You seem able to create successful ways of communicating clearly with all you meet. Some sort of interference this Thursday tends to disrupt your relations with those in authority and increases the possibility of conflict. On the positive side, this situation may be the cause of the beginning of a new and successful project. Things may not always be what they seem. The power of organization on a social scale--business, political and such--seems to take on a larger than life aura as you enter into a new cycle this Friday. It's as if ambition and authority are answers in themselves. Concepts, normally too subtle to grasp, should come clear to you this Saturday--one after the other!

Coffee Break.

Spring break feels more like winter break in Portland! Snowed all night last night and it's ben raining like crazy since I flew in. Not that I really care...because I did miss the rain...but come on! I could've stayed in LA and laid on the beach for 3 weeks! ...And lord knows I need a tan! Oh well.

 

Been taking time to sleep - a lot - and enjoy my morning coffee each day! With temperatures at or barely above freezing, coffee will definitely be my bride this break. It's bitterly cold and I did not pack accordingly! I've already made 3 shopping trips and an online purchase. Looks like I'll be shipping some boxes back to LaLa Land since my suitcases were already stuffed to begin with! XX.

10 Ways to Get Your Skin Spring Ready

Hello Beauties! Spring is FINALLY right around the corner so it's a good idea to start thinking about getting your skin back in to shape! XX.

What to do...what to do...

- Eat as much fresh food as possible to keep your skin looking healthy - and your backside, too.

- Have fun with your products - "yummy" skin care has a lot of benefits! Try products - or make your own masks - that contain things like banana, chocolate, honey, vanilla, or sugar. Bananas are rich in vitamins, chocolate is an excellent source of antioxidants and naturally contains skin firming caffeine, honey acts a natural anti-bacterial agent and can be used to clear up blemishes or added to dry oats for an exfoliating and moisturizing face mask, sugar is great for a body scrub to remove dead skin, and vanilla has a sweet aroma and can be added to your homemade products as an essential oil.

- Try eb5 Facial Cream. Surprisingly inexpensive and an awesome source of vitamins A, E, and B5 to improve the texture of your skin and keep it moisturized. Only $37 on Amazon!

- The most obvious of all things - treat yourself to a mani/pedi! There's nothing better than having fresh hands and feet. Spring for the paraffin wax this time - if they offer it at your salon - and your digits will be thanking you!

- Hair control: spruce up your brows and invest in a good razor for the coming warm months - nothing worse than stubble or razor burn on freshly tanned limbs. (And I say "invest" because let's be honest...they're so expensive - and for what?!) Anything Venus works great in my opinion! And there's always your man's razor...a fresh one of course!

- Speaking of a tan...I can't preach about "staying away from tanning beds" because I'm guilty of the obsession and I do love hitting the beach. However, if you'd like to keep your skin looking its best, it's a good idea to avoid those UV rays! Use sunscreen daily - even if you're not going tanning...the sun is still out people!

- Also, spray tans are way easier than people think. If you know someone who had a nightmare experience and freaked you out, well they just weren't doing it right! If you're unsure, ask your salon to teach you the right way - they're trained to do this! Trust me, I've worked at one!

- If you're still not into it, use a daily skin firming moisturizer that has self tanner included! Clearly the easiest way to keep a soft glow - out of sight, out of mind. Right now I'm using Jergens' Natural Glow for about $9 and it works great. The best one I've tried - that truly doesn't smell - has been Banana Boat's Summer Color in "deep/dark". Mind you, I don't have deep/dark skin by any means but it gives the fastest results while still looking pretty natural!

- Get rid of dry, cracked lips by using Lush Lip Scrub in Sweet Lips - YUM. I've raved about this stuff before (here) and will continue to stand by it! Exfoliating your lips is something that is easily forgotten. This little jar of scrub tastes amazing and restores your pout to pure softness.

- Finally, moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! By far the most important thing you can do for you skin is to feed it with the moisture it needs. Humectant formulas are the best - they lock in moisture and continue to do so all day long by helping your skin retain water and prevent cracking. Alba Botanica Very Emollient Body Lotion is great. (Suave makes a pretty good version of this in a Shampoo and Conditioner so your hair can reap the benefits, too!)

Your Weekly Horoscope: March 11-17

Capricorn

You could be teaching spiritual lessons this Sunday. Everything works well today! Stay clear of financial propositions that involve risk-taking this Monday. This may not be a good time for combining business with pleasure. However, this workday is full of cheery, light-hearted people and you probably wish it was this way more often. Focus is the secret word this Tuesday. Put your mind to work and take care of any details that you may have put aside earlier. This Wednesday is a great time to work with others. You may be sought after as just the person for a particular job or assignment. Your directional abilities are indisputable. This Thursday is a good time to exercise caution and care in business dealings, both in the physical and financial realm. Others could challenge your non-conforming attitude in some situation that results in opposition and blockage. Your increased personal magnetism this Friday makes this a good time for all sorts of business dealings. Compromise is paramount in your life now. You can successfully undertake original projects at this time. Out-of-town company this Saturday may have you engaging in some project whether you wanted to or not.

Sagittarius

You are tuned-in and turned-on to the vibrations around you this Sunday and you enjoy talking and listening to your family or friends. Your attitude is positive and you look for ways to improve the world this Monday. Mental stimulation from others is the key for you right now. This Tuesday is a great time to be with others in play or work. Your ability to manage and direct yourself and others is now fine-tuned and you are ready for some type of management position. Others will certainly notice your good mood this Wednesday. You have quick answers, great wit and a surplus of insights and solutions. You should be attentive to all work you do this Thursday, for there is a tendency to gloss over the more mundane. Be especially careful in any business dealings or purchases that may cause you to go in debt. Ignore the gossip at work now--it is just that--gossip.

Pisces

A little extra energy is available this Sunday to sort through some of those relationship problems you have been pushing aside for another day. Two things to remember at this time are firstly, to think before speaking and secondly, to listen. Your focus this Monday morning may be on celebrating some special occasion in the workplace. You put in the hours and enjoy the company but this afternoon you go in a different direction. Ambition and achievement may be some of your tougher goals this Tuesday. You win reward, recognition and authority through hard work and knowing the score. Perhaps there is a sense of challenge or blockage this Wednesday--this will pass. The challenges you find this Thursday are stepping stones to positive changes--do not take them too personally. You have a desire to free yourself from the chains that society places on you now. You have the qualities that reflect grace, charm and refinement. Care should be taken this Friday when undertaking anything new at this time--it is best to keep the practical uppermost in your mind. Depending on your family situation, you may ask for help or guidance from successful people this Saturday.

Aquarius

Communications, in general, may be clouded this Sunday morning.
