Honey Cinnamon Nutmeg Face Mask

Late night mask time. 

Hey there people! I have been really crazy-obsessed with skincare lately, and making sure the products I use are not bad for my face or the rest of my body. So, I was looking at easy to make homemade skincare products, when I stumbled upon the Honey Cinnamon Nutmeg Face Mask! It uses only the ingredients listed in its title! And all the ingredients are natural, which means no harsh chemicals for your face (which is always a good thing).

Together the honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg smell really delicious, and amazingly have super secret powers that end up helping out your face! They help out with blackheads, heal acne scars, and reduce redness/swelling!

Close up of what the mask looks like. 

So, if you want to make the mask yourself here are the steps:

1. Gather your ingredients:

• 1 Tbs of honey
• 1/2 tsp of cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp of nutmeg

2. Mix it together!It should come out as a thick paste, and then apply to your face. Let the mask sit for 15-25 minutes, and then remove by gently scrubbing off in small circles. What is also great about this mask is, when you scrub off the mask it also an exfoliating effect!

**WARNING: For some this mask may be harsh on the skin, especially for those with sensitive skin. So before putting the mask all over the face, put a small amount on your wrist (or other sensitive skin areas) to test the ingredients.**

Hope all of yall' try the mask, and enjoy! 

Until next time,

Summer Time Smoothies!

I have been liking fruit a lot lately, so my little sister and I decided to make some fruit smoothies (:
We went with the classic Strawberry Banana Smoothie! Smoothies are a great way to get your fruit and keep cool in the summer sun. So if you want a very simple recipe for smoothies here we go!

Enjoying my smoothie, while rockin' the Snoopy cup, and some crazy pool hair.

 Summertime Strawberry Banana Smoothie: 

4 large strawberries
1/2 cup of milk (we used lactose free b/c of dairy allergies, but you can use any kind)
1 ripe banana
5 ice cubes
1 1/2 tsp of sugar
a couple drops of vanilla

Combine strawberries, milk, banana, and ice cubes. Blend until perfectly smooth. Add sugar. Blend for approximately one minute. Enjoy!

*If you want an even healthier smoothie, you can add honey instead of sugar.*

Hope you enjoy this recipe. If you make your smoothies a different way, please comment with your suggestions, as I would love to hear it!

Bye Yall'!
Christine (:
