What is your Soul Purpose?

What is your Soul Purpose? My Soul Purpose (at least for the morning) is to start my day with Great skin from head to toe. I love when people say to me " You have really nice skin." Thank you-that is a great compliment, and I work hard for it. I like to try different products, as I am a beauty treatment "junkie", as long as they work. My recent love is Ghanaian Brown Sugar from Soul Purpose.

This scent is amazing. This is how I start my AM Step 1: Get up (that one is hard for me, so I needed to add it!) Step 2: Light my GBS candle. Step 3 get in shower with my GBS shower gel and mesh sponge, and exfoliate every part of me (not my face). This scent really wakes me up. And it could be used as shampoo, or bubble bath if you like. Step 4: GBS scrub! Yummmy!!! When you open this jar the smell excites you instantly. I turn down the shower stream, scoop out some scrub and rub it all over my body. It not only exfoliates, but it moisturizes as well, that's what I like Double Duty! I turn the shower back up, and rinse off any excess. I get out of the shower and I don't need to add anything else, except deodorant of course. I could throw on a sundress and be done, and not worry about the "ashies!" But I like to layer, so I add some GBS custard to my arms, legs and backside! I walk into my bedroom and the room smells awesome from the candle and me of course! I get dressed (what step am I on? I forget), and grab my GBS solid perfume and add some to my pulse points, and throw it in my purse, to take with me and add more throughout the day. The last step before I walk out the door to my J-O-B, I blow out the candle and add the soy wax to my cuticles, elbows and knees. That's right, it works as a candle, and a massage oil- What?!! Again multi-function! You can't walk by me without wanting to take a bite....chomp, chomp!! Delicious!!

That is only one experience that SP offers. There's also "waking up in the Caribbean" with Caribbean Ginger, Sitting poolside with a margarita with "Malaysian Mango", and out on the town with "Hollywood Fresh"-a unisex scent that is quickly topping my list! So if you want summer glowing, smooth, sexy skin-get to know Soul Purpose. I got to know them-I brought a business, that's right I have my own Soul Purpose business. This helps me share it with everyone, as well as buying at wholesale prices! So if you would like to experience SP, I would be happy to send you a sample or you can check out www.tiffanywhite.soulpurpose.net!! Check it out!!

Next up: What's that on your face?!

ARE YOU AND YOUR SKIN THE SAME AGE?

Does your skin have a sallow or dull appearance? Is it rough to the touch? Do you have fine lines, wrinkles or blemishes?


There are a lot of harmful agents that affect our skin. Including smoking, alcohol, spicy foods, our diets, and the environment and so on and so on. How we treat our skin is the best defense against all of these elements. Your basic weapons in this battle can be summarized by five basic steps. They are: cleanse, tone, moisturize, SPF and exfoliation. These steps will help your skin feel and look younger and glow like that of a baby's.
 We all need to cleanse our skin for AM and PM. We need to start our skin off with the best defenses in the morning, and at night we need to wash off all the dirt and toxins that we have collected during the day. A toner for our specific skin type helps to balance out the Ph (potential hydrogen) levels in our skin to help remove acidity. Even if you believe you have oily skin, you still need moisturizer. We all need to hydrate our skin, and moisturizers act as humectants which draw moisture to the skin. Do I need to say it???……SPF for everyone!! Just because you are black and beautiful doesn't mean the sun can not affect you. Even on the cloudiest days, the sun is still strong and can cause damage. The minimum SPF for your face should be 15…..everyday Ladies and Gentlemen!!!


Exfoliation is the key to the skin's smooth and silky feel…..exfoliation helps get rid of the dead skin cells that sit on our face, making it feel rough and look older than it is. We should exfoliate at least 2-3 times a week to help new skin cells resurface to give us that radiant GLOW!!


A special tip for you…any chance you have to get a professional facial…GO FOR IT!!! This is a "secret weapon" for your face. These professionals can see things that you may not notice. Some spas may be a little pricey, especially with this economy, but check out Esthetic schools. All the services are done by students with supervising teachers, and the prices are at least 75% off those Newbury Street spas. Some places to check out are, Catherine Hinds in Woburn, Elizabeth Grady in Malden and Bojack in West Roxbury.

Ahhhh.....Jackie's on the Reef!

Negril Jamaica

How many times have you said " I really need some alone time"? How many times do we actually take it? Not as often as we should or would like to. But I did!~ I travelled thousands of miles away to be by myself. No kids, no work, no cell phones, no computers, no significant or insignificant others...lol!
Enter Jackie's on the Reef, Negril Jamaica. What a beautiful place to indulge your ME time. The view from the open lobby is breathtaking. Nothing but Atlantic Ocean as far as you can see. Jackie's is a Holistic Spa that is all about relaxing, rejuvenating and getting back to nature. I first arrived to a welcome Lime-Aid drink...Delish, and then to a massage which I prayed would never end. We've all had massages before, but not outside with the sounds of the waves crashing against the rocks that frame Jackie's... Hence the the name Jackie's on the Reef. Then when I thought she was finished, she flipped me over and started all over!! HEAVEN!! By the time she finished I realized it was exactly what I needed to start my Spa-cation!
When I arrived there were only two other guests there (sisters) and they left 2 days later, then it was just me and Ms. Jackie!! I was alone with my thoughts, my dreams, and my visions on how I wanted my life to be. What a perfect time to figure ME out.
Every morning I woke to Yoga, every night I prepared for bed with dinner with Ms. Jackie. No cell phones, computers, televisions, dance parties, it was perfect. I journaled and figured out where I needed to be in my life, and what steps I needed to take to get there.
I had a Reiki session and a Body Scrub that was absolutely DIVINE! I've never felt more cleansed!! All outside with only nature watching.
If you do not like spending time with yourself, Jackie's is not for you. You are on your own to spend your time wisely and to reconnect with nature and yourself.
At the end of my trip I was ready to go home, as I missed my kids, even with all the drama they can give. But I now felt prepared to take on the next steps of my life without any fear of the challenges. I highly recommend Jackie's on the Reef, for anyone, but especially if you are looking for some alone time!! I am already planning my next trip!!
