All the Mediterranean countries have their own unique style when it comes to home design but one thing they absolutely have common is that they are gorgeous in and out!

Stone homes with small gardens, colorful doors and laughers from a dinner table of the crowded and cosy families. Of course the beautiful turqouise Mediterranean sea have something to do with it.

We have listed 4 great tips to transform your home or just add some statement touches to bring the Mediterranean Flavor to your very own home.

WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT TURKISH OLIVE OIL SOAPS?

I remember, one of my favorite chick flick `My Big Fat Greek Wedding` where Gus Portakalos sprays Windex on everything that needs to be fixed! (ah he is the cutest!)

Well there are two things in Turkey which we use exactly like Gus and they are; Olive Oil and Yogurt

Want your hair to grow faster? Put some olive oil on it!

Sun burnt? Put some yogurt on it!

Dried hands? Olive oil!

And you can imagine how much we use olive oil soaps in daily basis or turkish hammam.

Here are the reasons why it is a good idea to use these handmade soaps;

1) Antioxidant Rich; Olive Oil is a natural source of the vitamins E and A, which fight free radicals and the benefits are there when rubbed into the skin in the form of soap.

2) Vegan; Olive Oil soap uses plant products instead of animal fat which is great when we all wish to avoid using animal products.

3) Moisturizing; Olive Oil cleans the skin without stripping away the natural oils and keeps it moisturized without blocking the pores.
