{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.

{Spa-licious Saturday}

ladies...it's time to give our hair some much needed attention...Just in case I'm the only one that didn't have a clue what jojoba oil was I've attached some info about it. I found it at our local natural health food store. Along with every other kind of oil you can imagine..who knew that all existed! 

Pre-Shampoo Rinse

You'll need:

1/4 cup jojoba oil

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup sesame oil

Combine all the ingredients into an empty — and clean! — plastic ketchup bottle. Apply the mixture to your scalp and all your hair, cover your head with a plastic shower cap and let it set for at least 30 minutes. Then shampoo and condition as usual.

Benefits of jojoba oil

• Provides all day moisturization – jojoba oil doesn’t evaporate like water based moisturizers can.
• It is theorized, but not yet proven, that because jojoba oil is so similar to human skin oil, it can "trick" the skin into thinking it has produced enough oil and thus balance oil production.
• Very stable – jojoba oil does not become rancid or lose antioxidants even after long periods of storage.
• Spreads well and absorbs well.
