Fab Fit Frugal, looking fly on a dime

For years I've heard about the health benefits of drinking apple cider vinegar. Though I use ACV when I mix it with my bentonite clay mask, I had never consumed the liquid. And that's mainly because the smell is just so strong.
But I finally bit the bullet and started making an apple cider vinegar cocktail and drinking it has now become a part of my morning routine.

Fab-Fit-Frugal, bentonite clay and skin
As I get older, a few things have happened when it comes to my beauty routine. My product junky-ism gets worse and I increasingly rely on all natural, affordable remedies. A few years ago, a friend introduced me to Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay. She loved it. Couldn't stop talking about it. Wouldn't stop talking about it. So I finally bought a jar from Whole Foods for about $6 or $7.
It was the best beauty decision I ever made.

uses for witch hazel, witch hazel and skin
For as long as I can remember, I've had oily, acne prone skin. And I've also tried a variety of products, from dermatologist prescribed topical treatments to serums, creams and peels sold over the counter.
But one product I come back to over and over again is witch hazel. Per Web MD, it "contains chemicals called tannins. When applied directly to the skin, witch hazel might help reduce swelling, help repair broken skin, and fight bacteria."
It's also just a few dollars and a must have in every bathroom, whether you have problem skin, puffy eyes or irritation.

what to wear to the beach

I hate to admit it, but I'm not a huge fan of summer. Though I'm a summer baby {born on July 1!}, the hotter temps make me pretty cranky. But one thing I do love is a weekend at the beach. The sand and the water is so relaxing and I really love any excuse to slip in to a bikini. But keeping cool and looking hot can be a bit difficult when it's unbearably hot. On days when the mercury rises {we just had a heatwave on the East Coast}, my motto is keep it simple and head to the beach.
