Any Progress on my Fitness?

To put this bluntly NO..why? because I have allowed myself to be overwhelemed by comfort eating, back pain fibromyalgia pain and depression. Is this enough to turn on the procrastination tap? There I’ve said it. I am not a perfect person, and like so many people, I start out with enthusiasm, and can end up taking a backward step as most would call it. I look at it, that each time this happens to me, it makes me stronger within. Adversities are a part of life, and at times I’m slow at dodging the bullets.

I’m not sure if I had mentioned before, that I have fractured my lower back in 3 places, and have a bulging disc, leaning to what the chiropractor terms as (prosterior) which when inflamation sets in spasmodically, it can press against my spianl chord causing me intense pain.

Aromatic Herbal Oil

I don’t use strong painkillers, but a special blend of chinese herbal oil derived completely from herbs, has a beautiful aroma, helps my pain, using very little. I cannot actually give you the name of this little bottle of aromatic magic, but I have taken a photo, so you can take it in to a Chinese practitoner, a massage clinic and ask them for it there, I paid $20 for 24mls. I recomend this for any type of body pain. I then just take either Osteo Panadol or ordinary Pannamx, along with Alpha, in meditation, and Reiki healing, and I leave  it there..ow and my hot water bottle and if you have a wheat pack that works too, I burned my last one up in the microwave heating it, and ended up with a huge burn in the middle. Once that happens you chuck it away.

I now make my own heat packs out of rice, so if Lucifer calls around again I can just make up another one. Stay Tuned and I’ll show you how to make you own simple heat packs. Well as you probably know I’ve brought the AnimalFlowWorkout programe, and its waiting for me to take it seriously. Im not up to taking this on right now, so if your a tad like me, suffering either injuries, or an auto immune disease, chronic pain, you’d better start off like Im going to,  before going into a challenging form of excersice head long. Im the most unfit woman in Queesnland..right now in time!

I will have to resort to doing exercises on my bed, as a warm up before starting my actual Animal Flow WorkOuts, as its similar to exercising in water, even the floor is too hard for me presently, but I’m determined not to allow my condition to stop me, getting right back into fabulous shape again..gosh how many times have I done this? getting up and dusting myself off after letting myself go for a year or two

Build your Strength Lying Down

Keeping fit and then letting it go, is no stranger to me, as I’ve done this consistently throughout my whole life, due to crippling bouts of depression. As I’m older these days and have some health issues, it takes me alot longer to regain my fitness level. But none of these things should stop you being the best you can be at any given stage in your life.I will show you at a later date, exacxtly how you can start to build and regain your strength if you have been bed ridden for sometime, or you suffer depression at a physically debilitating level, and its drains your body. I have to do this, before I start my AnimlFlowWorkOut.

Hey,

Welcome to DirtCheapMakeUp of the Gold Coast of Australia, I have lots of information to cram into this site and can’t do it all at once. Later I will be introducing my own proven methods on how to create your own mineral  make up body bronzers shimmers eye shadow mineral and earth face powder and and a skincare range.

I have a distinct unique range of unique blends and colours, that are colourful yet subtle. I have been working on this for quite some time. I will be putting lots of photos and video’s here for you to watch and anything new I discover I will also be letting you know about too.

My products are made from Australian clay earth mineral I just refer to it as dirt for short. Australia is one of the best countries in the world for its beautiful and diverse clay colours in its natural state, deep reds, oranges blues greens pinks and I love to get my hands dirty  in it bringing it back and allowing my creatvie side to run wild.

Will there be some free giveaway bonuses YEP! I also welcome any feedback on my products, and if there is something  special you would like me to make up for   please just drop me a line at dirtcheapmakeup@hotmail.com anytime. am able to make most colours to order if there is something you would like especially created.

Good old inexpensive “Sorbolene” its underated by many and often Ive heard it referred to as the poor mans moisturizer haha!! well Im happy to say that this guy sorbo has reinvented him or herself and is now a highly sought after product its own right. some use it as a barrier cream, while other institutions such as hospitals and nursing homes use this versatile cream to cure bed rashes. I have just recently found this cream to be a great moisturizer, for my face and body.

Ive only ever purchased more expensive brands of moisturizer thinking (like you) because it had a lovable eye catching container that graced my bathrrom vanity, it would be some sort of miracle cream..”not so” infact what it said on the bottle didn’t deliver atall.  (dissapointing)

To be brutally honest, there is no magic cream that will turn back time, unless you dig deeper into your pocket and go under the knife. Nothing wrong with this idea, but you will still need to maintain your skin afterwards.

Thank goodness Ive never been one to advocate for using big brand names for a number of other reasons other than- you only pay for a fancy label. Animal welfare has always concerned me in all ways, the food I eat, as Im vegetarian, which also means I try to stay clear of any animal derived formulas such as makeup and skin care.. hence why I created dirtcheapmakeup.com for my own use.

So what about this Sorbolene cream? I read an article recently put out by a doctor (Go To) docwright.com.au about the use of ordinary Sorbolene cream, its the best effective product to deliver everything you’ll ever need in a simple skin care regime. if you go to his website you can ask him questions on health and he will answer them for you. Since I came accross his article which was 1 month ago apporx I wanted to share this with you. You will also find lots of other intersting stuff on his website!

 I have bought a huge 1 Litre bottle of Sorbo for $8.00 and its working like a dream. If you can try and get a bottle that contains glycerine aswell.. apparently this is extremely mositurizing. I did know about Sorbolene cream, but I felt it wasn’t something that was anything great, now Ive had a turnabout. This cream gives you a chance to make it unique to your skin type. For me I use it this way:

1)  Break one or two Evening Primrose capsules into 50gms of Sorbolene cream, you can

   thin it down using the juice of a pure Aloe Vera from a natural plant you grow from your garden or someone else’s.

2)   Mix throughly you can’t harm your skin by over using pure Aloe Vera straight from its natural source, what better for you skin than using it this way.

You can use your great imagination for putting in what you like, even a multi vitiman capsule would be so beneficial for your overall health  and well being and just another way for your body to absorb a daily dose of good stuff!! 

 Sorbo is fragrance free so its a chance to add a few drops of your favourite essential oil for a aromatic experience you’ll love, so cream yourself crazy!! lol!!

So there you have it, a great inexpensive face and body cream/lotion you can use everyday lavishly without having to skimp your skin because of a price tag. Go ahead try it and use your flair and create colour, fun, and good health. I get my big bottle from “The Reject shop.. Gardiners as you can see below”

Hi,

Thanks for stopping by our place, there’s so much more coming, but because the products need to be carefully blended and kept as natural as possible with everything being completely handmade carefully, we can’t mass produce our products like the big commercial cosmetic and skincare companies. DirtCheapMakeUp is aware of the number of products going offshore, we pride ourselves on our products being of Australian origin, and will strive to maintain a high standard of quality and low cost.

It has not proved to be an easy task for alot of big companies to remain operating their total businesses here in Australia, and its understandable, postage is ridiculously high and products are not easy to source from Australia because of the high costs, so inevietably alot of businesses go offshore or close down altogether.

So please anywhere you can..buy Australian made goods and help keep businesses working for Australia. We’re trying to do this here with DirtCheapMakeUp, so please tell your friends about our site, and keep Aussie going strong! We hope you enjoy watching DirtCheap expand, but without your help it won’t be possible.

Any comments will be appreciated, throw some ideas around, but don’t keep them to yourself will you..please!!! lol!! Contact us anytime.

Cheers

Greta                      

Music on this video is kind of a bit “Rad” and if you can keep up with the speed this girl is applying her makeup, then you’re doing well The cosmetics used here perhaps aren’t natural, BUT the same results can be acheived with mineral makeup. So for the moment focus on “fun, colour and makeup”!!!  Greta

If you look in the mirror and wish you could have younger, fuller lips, you’re not alone.

Hi friends, I found this interesting article while searching the net, gives you a little info  on how some of the commercial lip plumpers work. I personally look for natural solutions to skin care and make up which is why I love to create my own and always working on new ideas….

When we age, our lips tend to lose their colour and get thin. But even though you can’t stop the aging process, you don’t have to grin and bear it. Follow these 6 tips for younger, fuller lips and see how just a little effort can have a big effect. 1. Use Sun Protection Image provided by CoolaThis isn’t a quick fix, but it is a long-term investment to your lips and the skin around them. The sun causes wrinkles, period. So, make sure your lip balm has SPF in it. And don’t forget to apply sunscreen around the lips to help slow down wrinkling around your lips. No matter if you 20 or 60, this is a must. One of our favorite lip balms with SPF is Coola’s Liplux. They have an SPF 15 and an SPF 30 to choose from. Sponsored Links Brisbane Coupons 1 ridiculously huge coupon a day.

Find out more! www.clinique.com.au 2. Hydrate Your Lips Image courtesy PriceGrabberIf you have dry lips, they probably look scaly – not full and plump like we all want. Hydrating them from the inside and the outside will help get the desired look. Drink water! It is the easiest way to hydrate your body. Although the jury is still out on whether it will actually help our skin’s moisture level, I tend to gravitate to thinking, it can’t hurt! And possible will help, so drink away! If plain water isn’t your thing, cut up fruit and put it in a pitcher. Add water and store in your refrigerator. The juices from the fruit will enhance the water’s flavor. If that’s too much work, try a natural flavored water like Hint’s Pear Water. 3. Exfoliate Your Lips Image provided by SephoraNothing’s worse than someone with dry chunks of skin on their lips. (And I’m not immune to this – Even I have been guilty of this numerous times.) Exfoliating your lips is an easy and effective way to keep your lips looking younger. If you’ve never exfoliated your lips before, we have easy step-by-step at-home instructions for you. But if you want to splurge on a product, we recommend Smashbox: Emulsion Lip Exfoliant. 4. Plump Your Lips Image provided by SephoraLip Plumpers are a gift for those of us with thin lips. They typically use ingredients such as cinnamon or ginger to slightly irritate your lips and transform them into a gorgeous plump kisser. But we’ll warn you, for most lip plumpers, you’ll have to embrace the tingle they leave your lips with. And with results that are almost immediate, it’s not hard to do. Probably the most well-known and fast-acting lip plumper is DuWop’s Lip Venom. It’s going to give you great results fast. But if you’re not a fan of the tingle, try Josie Maran’s Plumping Lip Gloss, which has more gloss and less tingle. 5. Use a Lip Liner Image courtesy PriceGrabberDo you have a hard time keeping your lipstick from feathering out to the edges of your lips? Lining your lips with a lip liner is a quick and effective way to ward off lipstick feathering. But don’t make the lining obvious. Either use a color that matches your lip stick, or use the liner for all over color and use a clear or sheer gloss over the top. And you’ll be happy to know that a lip liner is not a product you need to splurge on! You can pick up a great one at your drugstore. Try L’Oreal’s Crayon Petite, which comes in a good range of colors. 6. Add Color Image provided by SephoraAlong with thinning unfortunately comes lack of color. But this is the easiest fix of all. Simply by adding color to your lips, you can take years off of their appearance. And a lip stain is the perfect way to do this. A lip stain will temporarily stain your lips, and won’t come off with eating or drinking like lip sticks and glosses do. Straight lip stains do not add any extra shine or dimension, so it’s good to add a gloss over the top. But the majority of lip stains will last all day. And an added plus, most of them can be used for a cheek colour, too!

Head, neck & shoulder pain has become all to common, and there are several ways to treat it, some methods work better for some than others, its an individual choice. Recently I was asked to do a one day course using a method called “The Feldenkrais Method.” This is a revolutionary apporach to health and fitness. Using what “Dr Moshe Feldenkrais”  called “Awareness Through Movement” people of any age or condition can learnto move more comfortably and efficiently. This Method is imortant, because it demonstrates that problems such as stiffness and stress do not require outside intervention-the remedy lies within each of us.
