Avocado and Cucumber facial

I believe in women pampering themselves.  We work too hard and hardly play enough, can I get an Amen! lol
I strongly believe in using natural products that we can simply get from the grocery store free of harmful chemicals.  You can give yourself a nice soothing facial right in your own home. Avocado has moisturizing and anti-aging properties.  Moving right along to the mask, you will need 
      1/2 of a medium avocado, 2 cucumber slices, 1 tbsp honey, raw egg white (honey and egg white may be left out)


Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, remove the skin of the half that will be used, mash together with the honey and egg white.
Tie your hair back ( you don't want to get the avocado in it do you? lol
Apply a warm wash cloth on the face to open the pores
Apply the avocado mixture to the face except the eyes
Place one slice of cucumber on each eye- (heal those puffy eyes along the way)
Ain't you feeling relaxed already from just reading this?
leave on for about 20 minutes
Wash with warm water, then cold water to close the pores, pat dry and you are done!

Let me know how this works out for you or any other natural remedies you may have tried.

There is always Hope

Are you feeling overwhelmed, run down, perhaps lonely, abandoned, neglected, ashamed? I hope you will be encouraged today.  Maybe you are having problems with your significant other, husband, boyfriend, child's father, parents, maybe that person has hurt you one last time. Let go of the anger, it is just like poison. He who angers you conquers you.  ~Elizabeth Kenny  There is One greater than all the hurt in the world and He says 
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."  Can you grasp that?  If He knew you before you even existed then He cares for you and all that concerns you, even now.

Rosettes for Orphan girls- WW

This is a little handmade token I worked on over the weekend to beautify girls that have suffered so much loss.  See previous post on how you can help.

Hair accessories for orphan girls

I recently ran into information on beads braid beyond on FB about collecting hair accessories for orphan girls in Uganda, apparently there are some nice people going through an organization called Visiting Orphans .  I have dedicated my time this weekend to making rosettes for these beautiful girls so I can get them out next week before the May 27th deadline.  For more information please visit Elisa Hyman on her blog. Please help if you can.  You can send gently used hair accessories too.

Wordless Wednesday: Introducing Baby S.
