I don't know about you but when Friday's roll around, all I wanna do is stay at home, eat licorice and pamper myself. (Martinis are usually involved in this so-called pampering.)I've decided Friday's should be my DIY Beauty Day. I'll share with you some easy, homemade beauty recipes, throw some fabulous drink recipes in the mix and BAM, you'll have a great inexpensive pamper-filled evening.
Today is definitely a mask day. (Well, at least it is for me.) For some reason, this week went by very slow. I don't know if it was because I started working out this week (YAY for swimming) or that I was working harder than usual, but I danced a little Friday dance this morning as I was getting ready
. Friday's, for me, mean a relaxing evening at home making dinner for my man, having a long hot bath and giving myself a mini facial.One of the easiest homemade masks uses only two products: yogurt and honey.
1 tbsp. natural yogurt (room temperature is best) - Greek plain full fat yogurt is the best
1 tsp. runny honey (put it in the microwave for a bit to get it soft)
Combine mixture and apply to face. Leave on for about 10-15 minutes and, once done, remove with a steaming washcloth. (if you have oily skin, try adding a couple drops of lime juice and if your skin is dry, add extra honey.) Your skin is going to GLOW after this mask!!!
Alright, so what would be the best drink pairing with this??? Hmmmm, let's see. Well, I'll start with my favorite: Cosmopolitan
2 oz. Vodka. (Flavored is always nice, like Mandarin)
1/2 oz. Cointreau
1/2 oz. Lime juice (fresh is always best)
1/2 oz. Cranberry juice
Lime wedges for garnish
Pop in a shaker with ice and, once shaken, pour into a martini glass. ENJOY
Have an amazing weekend, friends, and I'll be posting my first giveaway on Monday!!!!
