Might try with the gua sha again, had two already but they both snapped, maybe purchase from a different supplier?
Essential oil I purchased and can’t remember why
Cypress
DIY Skincare — Cypress Firming Facial Oil
Most of the ingredients in these recipes can be found in the bulk section at a natural grocery store, and the more specialized items can be found online at sites like Mountain Rose Herbs. Because DIY formulas don’t contain preservatives, it’s best to use most of them within a month or less.
Face serums that address wrinkles and fine lines are among the most expensive products on the market. This one will not only save you money; it will save your skin.
- 2 tbs. rosehip-seed oil
- 2 tbs. sweet-almond oil (for oily skin, use 2 tsp. jojoba oil instead)
- 3 drops organic cypress essential oil
- 3 drops organic geranium essential oil
- 1 drop organic frankincense essential oil
Pour ingredients into a 2-ounce dark glass bottle with eyedropper cap. Shake to mix. Use within one month.
To use: Shake the bottle to mix. After cleansing, while your skin is still damp, massage one or two drops onto your face and neck. Apply in the morning or before bed.
Ingredient Benefits
- Rosehip-seed oil is rich in vitamin C, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and retinoic acid, which brightens and tightens skin.
- Sweet-almond oil can help reduce dark circles under the eyes when used daily.
- Jojoba oil is structurally and chemically similar to your skin’s natural sebum, so it won’t clog pores, and it helps skin balance its own oil production.
- Cypress essential oil is a powerful firming agent that strengthens blood capillaries; it’s also antibacterial, anti-infectious, and antimicrobial.
- Geranium essential oil helps even out skin tone.
- Frankincense balances skin pH. (When skin is too alkaline, it’s more prone to wrinkles and fine lines.)

Safety Tips for Using Cypress Essential Oil
While essential oils have many healing properties, please keep in mind that essential oils are highly concentrated and precautions need to be taken when using them. Here are some safety considerations for cypress oil:
- Cypress oil is not safe to use internally. It is for external use only.
- Cypress oil is safe to use aromatically and topically (when properly diluted).
- Essential oils should be properly diluted before applying to the skin. For cypress oil, we recommend a ratio of 1:2 of essential oil to carrier oil.
- Make sure to test on a small patch of skin before applying to a larger area. Allergic reactions and sensitivities can occur to any essential oil.
- We do not recommend using cypress oil when pregnant or breastfeeding as there is not enough research to support its safety.
The Cypress Essential oil I chose from the marketplace
Cypress Essential Oil
Description
Fresh, green, and resinous – like walking through a pine forest, our Cypress essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and twigs of the tall, conical evergreen tree. Soothing for emotions and used widely in meditation, associated with renewal and transition, it also has an astringent property that can benefit the skin and internal bodily systems.

Cellulite massage oil
You need to get into the routine of getting up an hour early with this like the Tv Am beautician recommends.
Need to make a new batch as it loses its potency being an organic product.

This was from Avon pre covid 19
You just stand on it and twist around.
I’d guess to do 3 sets of twelve everytime you tone.
We had one that was an antique fitness machine at the ladies gym, but it worked if you gave it some omph.
Found one at Holland and Barret

I do the walk, need to stick with the weights
Opti Neoprene Dumbbell Set – 2 x 1kg
Review
Have to agree with other reviewers that this video is really funny, this is partly why I enjoy it so much. Once went to a ladies-only gym that did this exact routine, and I’ve been searching for it for years. Zsa Zsa is really fun and livens up what could have been a strict boring routine. The ladies gym was great as we talked and laughed all the way through our aerobics classes, the tutors were very disciplined like Zsa Zsa, so you got results without it being a task. Other gyms I went to were boring and you weren’t allowed to talk or laugh.
If you want rippling muscles, this probably isn’t for you, but if you just want to stay toned, this is perfect.
I go for a walk once a week because of it, and now I am getting back into the weight section.
This will help with good form while doing the Zsa Zsa Gabor routine.
Conclusion
Unfortunately, I had a home gym accident in the summer that put me back with all this. Reviewing it I realise I can plan all this for February after the end of dry January celebrations.
What you need to do is set up a spa room, sure it would be easier to maintain then. Got some gadgets from last year will try and purchase again, and some film blog ideas I could add, someone is still researching those for film blogging.
If you have just found this blog and would like to try any of it feel free. Will be starting afresh with it all to aim for weight loss and a bikini body.
I revealed my secret last year of how I survived a hard-core gym, so you may enjoy my very laid-back ideas for fitness.
At the end of the day life is for living in my opinion.
I’ll never be perfect but I can tone up and maintain a healthy weight.
Join the slimming calendar for inspiration if you want.
It is completed now.
Got a bit of tidying up to do still, but it works as a self help Slimming Calendar now.
If you add google calendar to your apps, you can check the date from that.
Enjoy!!!
