DIY: Raw Honey Facial Mask

Good Morning Beauties!

I wanted to share with you all one of my favorite new additions to my beauty routine- the Raw Honey Mask!  

First off, I bet you are wondering- what on earth are the benefits of honey for my skin?  Well, let me fill you in:

• Acne: Honey is naturally antibacterial, so it's great for acne treatment and prevention.
• Aging: Full of antioxidants, it is great for slowing down aging.
• Complexion boost: It is extremely moisturizing and soothing, so it helps create a glow.
• Pores: Honey is clarifying because it opens up pores making them easy to unclog.

There are a ton of additional benefits that I won't bore you with....simply put- it's perfect for every skin type and is a wonder mask that benefits your skin in pretty much every way you could ever imagine!

This is my favorite raw honey and I keep multiple jars for cooking, baking or beauty.  The price ranges, depending on where you buy it, from $7-$12.  Before you start thinking about how that may be a little pricey for honey- this is far cheaper than the majority of masks that are on the market AND will last you at least 6-12 months!

Here are the dets:

1.  Apply honey to face with fingers or wooden craft stick 
2.  Leave mask on for 15-30 minutes (Note: while this raw honey is quite thick, your body temp will melt the honey a bit so make sure to have an extra towel around so that it doesn't drip it's sticky goodness all over you! :)
3. Wash off with warm water

Viola!  It's really that easy.  I try to do this at least once a week.  Give it a try and let us know how you like it!

Enjoy and have a wonderfully sweet Tuesday!

XOXO,

5 Days of Lovin: 5 Easy, Cheap, Fun ways to treat your Honey this Valentine's Day!

Hola Muchachas!

Valentine's day is right around the corner and we are bringing you over the top, cheesy, ridiculous ways to treat your significant other AND yourself-whether you are single or taken

Here how it works:

• Every day, starting today, we are going to post an idea to implement the following day.
• The whole point is that you treat yourself or your partner to a little fun for the next 5 days leading up to Valentine's Day.
• Why?  Cuz it's way more fun than buying a present and your honey will be so confused and amused by your cheesyness!

Day 1- Monday

If you are in a relationship:

1. Write a love letter to your lover.  Everyone loves a love letter!  In your letter, give him a heads up that every day leading up to Valentine's Day will be a surprise treat!
2. Leave the love letter in his/ her car along with your song/ wedding song ready to play on their stereo when they turn the car on (burn a CD and leave it in the stereo if you have to). 
3. Put your love letter in an envelope and on the outside of the envelope tell him/ her to turn the car on before they read it- that way the song will begin as they read your letter. ;)

Is this ridiculous and over the top- YES!  But it's Valentine's week and a perfect excuse to be extra cheesy.

If you are single:

1. On Monday morning, along with your favorite cup of joe or tea or whatever floats your boat, write down atleast 5 reasons why you're awesome and why one day you will make someone really happy!
2. On your way to work or wherever you may be going that day- make sure to blast your favorite song.  There is nothing better than a dance party in the car!  Music fees the soul :)

Stay tuned for our next idea tomorrow!
