Strawberry Skirtcake

Its been a while since I wore a pretty pink skirt. I rarely wear pink to begin with, but I forgot how feminine it makes me feel and how flattering it can be if worn properly. Its also that time of year when there are plenty of graduations, First Communions, and family parties to go to.  I went for a preppier look with my pleated skirt and button down woven because I know there are plenty of girls out there that can have trouble pairing a skirt like this with a shirt. In my mind, I say, "Keep It Simple". A little bit goes a long way, so the next time you're going through your closet, don't second guess yourself, chances are you're like me and will end up wearing the first outfit you tried on to begin with. :)

Happy Tuesday!

Homemade Facial

Lately, I've been stressing out about so many things, that its been causing me to break out. Then I get stressed about breaking out and the cycle starts all over again. I was talking to my friend, Adrienne, about my predicament, last week, when she told me about a DIY honey and oatmeal mask that works wonders with all types of skin! So I had her give me the run-through on making it and I couldn't believe I had a mini spa treatment right in my pantry.

Ingredients

1/4 regular oatmeal

1/4 lukewarm water

2 teaspoons of honey

Step 1: Grind the oatmeal in a blender. This prevents the mask from being too clumpy and allows for an easier application.

Step 2: Add 1/4 cup of water to the blended oatmeal in a small bowl or container.  Make sure the oatmeal is gooey enough to stay on your skin. {In case its not thick enough, add more oatmeal}.  

Step 3: Stir in 2 teaspoons of honey.  {Honey is an amazing treatment for skin that is prone to breakout and acne because it removes any bacteria that lingers on your skin}.

Step 4: Apply to your face and allow to set for about 10-15 minutes. 
* If there is any mask leftover, use it on the rest of your body in the shower as a body wash.
