Banana Face Mask :)

Hey ladies so if you live in the Midwest or on the east coast I hope you all are staying warm! :) Well,  as promised here is a face mask that I found online that I absolutely love. Be careful because I know some people maybe allergic to bananas. Only use this mask if you believe your skin will be ok. Hope you guys enjoy! :) 

What You’ll Need:
1 ripe banana
1 teaspoon of honey
1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup of Quaker Oats rolled oats (optional)

Directions:
In a bowl, mash up the banana, removing any major chunks. Add in 1 TSP of honey and 1 TSP of fresh lemon juice. Mix together, apply to clean skin. Keep it on for 15-20 minutes, rinse off. Do not save any leftovers. Make a new batch each time you plan to use this mask. *If you choose to add oatmeal for more soothing properties, mix in 1/4 cup of rolled oats and let them soak in the mixture for a good 10 minutes before applying to the skin.



Xoxo, 
Lauren

DIY Lip Scrub


   So last year I was super obsessed with being this awesome mom. I was so obsessed with my son I never took time for myself because like a nut I thought taking time for myself would make me a bad mom. 
Well, I'm now much wiser and I now know for me to be an awesome mom I need to take time for myself to relax so I don't let the frustrations of the day make me crazy.
All this week I'm going to post some DIY projects so when you're enjoying your me time, you can do it with one of these lovely projects.
This is a lip scrub I found online that I tried and I really like it. You're suppose to use it twice a week and these are the things you'll need! Hope you enjoy :)
