No more dry skin, dammit!!

I have to make more facial scrub tomorrow. I have dry skin and have been using the coffee scrub that I posted earlier. It works amazing! I also made a facial cleanser with brown sugar, honey and olive oil. I am going to make some more, but with less olive oil. I want it to be more grainy. I am going to try this mask tomorrow night. I have some avocados that need to be used.

Avocados and honey are particularly moisturizing. This mask is particularly great for mature, wrinkled and dry skin. It’s best to use a ripe, fresh, organic avocado. Make sure to mash it up into a creamy pulp.

Ingredients:

• ½ avocado
• ¼ cup honey

Preparation: A classic recipe for dry skin. Mash the avocado in a bowl, then stir in honey.
Apply to skin and leave for 10 minutes.
Rinse face with a cool washcloth.

Too tired to type!

I cleaned my butt of today! I started with the bath tub because it was covered in coffee, from my coffee/sugar scrub! Then I moved to the bathroom floor, then the cupboard. Since I have started using homemade products I wanted to clean out all of the products that I don’t want to use. My skin feels amazing! I get really annoyed by clutter, especially in the bathroom. That room should be organized, just like the kitchen, or your bedroom, or closet, and of course..wait..everywhere! OCD much? kind of. anyways, I made some iced green/ginger/mint tea. I haven’t tried it yet. I put lots of honey in it so I wouldn’t have put any sugar in, next time I will use Stevia. I have never used Stevia. James decided to cut the grass, so I cleaned the kitchen. I wanted to get some mixing bowls off the counter. I re-organized the spice cupboard. Also I wiped out the fridge. I don’t think he has ever cleaned the fridge! So that was my day. Boring? Not really. Have I written anything other than blog posts? no. dammit.
