{Spa-licious Saturday}

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend so far! Cheers for some great spa-licious recipes! we're pampering our faces this week...for some weird reason I love anything that has honey in it!

Avocado Carrot Cream Mask
You'll need:
1 avocado, mashed
1 carrot, cooked and mashed
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons honey
Blend everything together in a large bowl. Apply to your face and let it set for 15 minutes before washing off. The mask is rich in vitamin E, beta-carotene, antioxidants, calcium, and protein.

Lemon Lip Gloss
You'll need:
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon vitamin E oil
1 teaspoon aloe vera
2 teaspoons grated beeswax
1 tablespoon pure almond extract
6 drops lemon essential oil
this lip gloss is great for little girls who are crazy about makeup and grandmas who aren't ready to see their darlings with ruby-red lips. Melt the beeswax in a double boiler, remove from the heat and, while stirring constantly, add the honey, aloe vera, almond extract, and vitamin E. Add the lemon essential oil last, let the mixture cool and pucker up.
