Natural Face Mask (Day 8)

One of my friends from work has amazing hair and skin– her name, Princess Jasmine.  Okay, that’s not her real name… but that’s what we call her from time to time.  She was telling me about this natural face mask that she’s done in the past that really helps exfoliate your skin and bring life to your skin cells.  I knew I had to try it.  I managed to not spill any of the ingredients as I brought them from my kitchen to my bedroom.  “Your bedroom!?”, you may ask… yes.  My bedroom has the best light for photo taking. I did however spilled half of the coffee grinds on my bedroom carpet after taking this photo.

Need less to say, my bedroom still smells like a coffee shop.  Hell, I’m not complaining.

[Ingredients]
coffee grinds- I used 1 Keurig pod
3 tablespoons of honey
a splash of milk
1 tablespoon of olive oil

[Instructions]
Mix all ingredients together.

Put your hair in a pony tail, top knot, braid.. anything to get it off of your face.  Make sure your face is free from any makeup.

Slather the mixture onto your face.
Wait 10 minutes and wipe clean.

I did this right before my shower; just in case coffee grinds got in my hair.  Be warned: you may need to add more honey/less milk to get the texture that you desire.  Next time I make this, I will be using a lot less liquid and more honey.  The mask turned out great, though!  I loved using the coffee grinds as a natural exfoliate.  My skin was a bit red afterwards, but I think this may be a result of the rough grinds.

On another note:  yesterday was day 8 of Jamie Eason’s Live Fit Trainer!

I plan on posting at the end of week 2 about my thoughts on the program.

I was very pleased last night to realize that I started using higher weights than last week.  I hope to continue getting stronger and pushing myself.  The one thing that I didn’t do yesterday was the second set of push ups.  EH!  I couldn’t move after the first set!  My chest muscles had enough push ups for one day.

Have a great Tuesday everyone!
