Pantry Pampering



























Scary or serene? Serene! (although Kim does looks pretty scary over there on the right).  Bridget showed us how to get a spa treatment on a budget! Everything you need for a pampering night at home can be found in your own pantry.  She made us 2 yummy face masks (literally yummy- here's Kim dipping her chocolate chip scone into one of the masks).


























One was Chocolate/Honey and the other Avacoado/Banana. Try out the recipes below- you'll love them.

Chocolate Heavy Cream Facial Mask
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup honey

Cocoa: contains antioxidants which prevent or repair damage to the skin. 
Honey: good for oily or blemished skin because of it’s anti-microbial properties that inhibit the growth of some bacteria

Banana-Avacado Mask
1/2 over-ripe banana
1/2 over-ripe avacado
2 Tbsp unflavored full-fat yogurt
1 tsp olive oil

Bananas: rich in potassium & make a great moisturizer for your hair and skin.
Avocados: high in vitamins & enzymes.




Throw in a little Enya, candles and wine and we did not want to go home. CHEERS!
