Homeopathic Face Mask

This post does not have much depth, but I thought it might be helpful to someone out there. About a week ago my face developed a red rash that at times made my face feel like it was on fire. After using a 1/2 dozen different products on my face, only to have miserable results, I went to Google. (I Google everything, hehe). I started by trying to figure out what it might be.
I came across several possibilities. 1. Rosacea 2. High blood pressure 3. Stress

Ok, yep got stress, got high blood pressure, but how am I going to make my face feel better.

After spending way to much time googling I found this website and the following recipe for a face mask. I tried it and loved it, my face felt so much better after.

1 large Avocado
1 tbsp of Honey

The Avocado Facial Mask is prepared by mashing the meat of the avocado into a creamy texture. Add the honey into the mixture.

Apply it thoroughly on face and leave for 15 – 20 minutes.

Wash with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores.

Enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday

The kids made ornaments on Thanksgiving day.

Madeline made a Christmas Tree.

Joshua made a Penguin.

Hanging on the Christmas Tree...

We had a wonderful, low-key Thanksgiving, which included crafts, movies, and plenty of good food. We have so much to be thankful for, God has been faithful!

Wordless Wednesday

It's been awhile since I posted last, 7 weeks actually. Well it's summer time so I guess I've been playing, not really, but I have been busy.

2 weeks ago my little girl turned 8. She's wanted to go scrapbooking for a long time, so she got to choose 1 friend to go along with her for a day of scrapbooking. She took her friend Analycia, they were so cute. There eyes lit up with all the stickers, paper, glitter, & punches...you can imagine the fun! After dinner we enjoyed a yummy cupcake cake that Madeline designed herself!

If one of my kids is having a birthday then that must mean my Mom was here! Yes, she was. The time seem to fly by, before I could really breathe and enjoy our visit, she was back on a plane :(

I'm very thankful she chooses to spend her vacation time coming to see us!

This video is really old, but it always makes me
laugh. Madeline is probably 3 and Josh is
around 6 months, so summer of 2004. Enjoy!
