If you are constantly switching up your astringent and are looking for a new one, did you know that you can actually make your own? Herbs and some apple cider vinegar is the key. We will of course, go into detail about what exactly you need, but as you can see, there are many natural things that you can do to keep your skin clean and clear!

You will need fresh sage leaves, dried chamomile, witch hazel and then some of that apple cider vinegar. You need to bruise the fresh herbs and then combine all of the ingredients together. As soon as that is done, you want to make sure that you strain the liquid; you may need to do it a lot though.

More tips and tricks for doing it the natural way in the next blog make sure that you stay tuned!

Clara Francis is a jewelry designer, and a great one at that. She uses vintage beading techniques to produce her beautiful and unique designs, and all Clara Francis jewelry is completely hand crafted. Her signature beadwork and vintage charm necklaces have become quite a hit in the fashion world. She currently has collections in boutiques in the UK, South East Asia and the United States. Her work is beautiful and meaningful, and is a big hit for Fall 2007. Just take a look at some of the Clara Francis pieces that I found, they are all very exquisite and unique.

Etsy Finds

Etsy.com is one of my favourite sites to find clothing, accessories, home items, and crafts from truly independent designers. Etsy is about one-of-a-kind, handcrafted pieces (a few thousand of them) as well as building a community for the designers’ themselves. I know that at my local market, there’s a weekly ‘Etsy’ table staffed by volunteer Etsy members from my area. It’s cute and it’s uber-local.

The site also features a customized bidding option. Say you want a knit scarf that’s all done in a bird design with your name intertwined throughout it (just saying…), you can post the project and crafters will bid on it. Shyeah! Nothing, absolutely nothing is hotter than customized clothing. Anyway, the point of this post was to list a few recent Etsy finds that stand out…check it out…
