Homemade Beauty: Pumpkin Spice Face Mask

It is that time of year again where the basic white girls are going crazy over Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte...

I'm not a coffee person.

Or an overpriced Starbucks person.

Or usually a pumpkin person!

So why did I feel the need to post this?

Because I have finally gotten into the fall mood, and I am going to be having one of these professionally done at a Spa this Friday!

Plus, why not??

So let's start by prepping your face for the facial by using a super simple...

Brown Sugar Face Scrub

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
1 Teaspoon Olive Oil

Mix together and apply to the face rubbing in circular motions. The brown sugar will act as an exfoliant, clearing and opening your pores, while the olive oil works as a natural moisturizer.

Pumpkin Spice Face Mask

Ingredients

1 Teaspoon pure Pumpkin puree (with no added ingredients)
1 Teaspoon of Honey
1/2 Teaspoon of Cinnamon

Apply to face and relax for 5 to 15 minutes. Pumpkin contains vitamins A, C, and E which will help to gently relieve your skin of dead skin cells. The honey seals in moisture while also fighting off acne with it's antibacterial properties, while the cinnamon clarifies the pores. Other optional ingredients include: A splash of Apple Cider Vinegar which will work as an astringent for oily skin, or Greek Yogurt for the hydrating properties of the lactic acid.

January Nibblr Subscription Box

So after searching around on My Subscription Addiction for a subscription box to try out for free or on the cheap to see if I liked it, I found this Nibblr box from the Pillsbury company! Upon opening my box, I found a tray of four, healthy, portion controlled snacks. Each month they send you four snacks at random, until you begin to personalize your account. You can personalize your account by selecting "Love it, Like it, Interested, or No Thanks". All snacks begin marked "Interested", and after trying them you may mark them otherwise. They will then try to send snacks marked "Love it" and "Like it" more often, and avoid sending the ones marked "No Thanks". The first snack on my try was "PB Graham" It is described as "peanuts, peanut wafers, and graham cookies snack mix", and falls into the "Feel Good Sweets" category. Just a note, Nibblr CAN NOT cater to food allergies, and from wha...

Blueberry Crush Sangria

I'm considering a new series on this blog... How would you all feel about wine Wednesdays? Not every Wednesday of course, but just to mix things up sometimes! Most all of the drinks I make end up being something I concoct from various ideas and recipes I see online, and then add wine to it, and voilà, wine punch! And I see a distinct lack of wine punch or creative sangria recipes on Pinterest, so look no further; I'm coming to the rescue! I made this drink recently for a party in which the color theme was purple, so of course we had to have a purple drink! It was met with much praise, and I highly suggest giving it a try! It is a very sweet drink, but can be toned down based on your preferences. It would be the perfect way to bring in Spring! (If it is actually Spring where you live, we just pretend here, it is still snowing) Ingredients Blueberry syrup: Bag of frozen blueberries (minus 1/3 cup.) 1 cup sugar 3 cups water ...
