Simple Beauty: Get Glowing Skin with Turmeric - Henry Happened Y Simple Beauty: Get Glowing Skin with Turmeric By gerbermom /  March 14, 2012 I’m starting a new series on Simple Beauty because I’ve discovered how good it feels to pamper your skin. This discovery was followed shortly by the realization that I can’t afford salon facials – or fancy beauty products! Whether it’s using  Kool-Aid to brighten blonde  or making your own  rose petal body oil  I’ll share easy, budget-friendly ideas for looking your best. “Secret Beauty Weapon” I read recently that actress Thandie Newton recently called  turmeric  her “secret beauty weapon.” Isn’t that just for curry?

Mango: Medicinal Fruit M y favorite fruit is mango. I could have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I could have it raw or ripe. I could have it in a pulp form, cut in diamond pieces or in a mango milkshake. I love Aam-Papad and love all pickles made with mango. My best memories from my childhood are from a visit to a Mango farm, and climbing mango trees to pluck fresh mangoes from the mango trees. Fortunately, UK and Hong Kong where I lived for almost 7 of the last decade allowed mango imports from India. Unfortunately, USA still does not allow it. Hopefully, that will change soon.
