Spring Cleaning – “Toss and Replace”

OK ladies spring is coming and it is time for a major
spring-cleaning! But don’t reach for the mop and
broom-this is a cleaning project you are sure to enjoy. It is time
to go through the make-up case or drawer and play “toss and replace”. This is an area
that far too many women over look cleaning up. And this contributes
greatly to your health and over all sanitation of yourself and
make-up products: brushes, mascara, foundations, blushes, etc..
Makeup is a breeding ground for bacteria, particularly mascara. Think of all the bacteria you have on your skin and then think how often you touch your brushes to your face. We wouldn’t go a week without washing our hands, why do we wait so long with our makeup brushes? It is recommended to wash them at least once a week if they are for powder applications, and every day for liquid makeup, foundation, lip products and cream eye shadow. To wash your brushes, simply use some mild shampoo and roll it in your hand until it lathers. Then, rinse under water until the water runs clear. You can also try white vinegar and water mixture is said to work well.
According to the CDC, you should also replace your mascara at least once every 3 months. An easy reminder: put the “throw out by” date on the mascara with a marker so when that date comes you know you get new mascara!
Another excellent idea is to utilize that “throw out” date to evaluate and remove any of the unforgiveness, resentment, grudges, or anything else that can breed bacteria in your heart and soul and cause serious deterioration. Doing this on a regular basis will help keep you at your very best—from the inside out!

I agree spring ahead with a clean start. Remove, throw away, and dispose of all that weighs you down.
Things such as jealousy, resentment, or unforgiveness make you spiritually unattractive. They make you send extra time and energy in the natural covering up and hiding what is festering and rotting in the spiritual realm. Just throw it out! And the make-up too…. What you will pick will be so much better.
