Lately I feel like I've been on a roll!
It dawned on me the other day, that
I'm actually doing this!
I feel so good inside, and I'm really quite proud of myself!
I'm taking care of myself for the first time in like...EVER!!
Last night I decided I wanted to reward myself, by doing something fun, and pampering myself!
What did I do?
I made a homemade face scrub and mask!
Honey Almond Face Scrub:
4 tsp milk
4 tsp honey
4 tbsp ground almonds
mix and apply (makes 4)
Oatmeal Face Mask/Scrub:
4 Tbsp. ground oatmeal (not instant)
4 tsp. fresh lemon juice
8 tsp. yogurt
Mix and apply (makes 4)
*This can be a scrub or a mask! (I used it as a mask)
It was fun to make, and my skin felt so soft after!
Like seriously soft :D
Today I wanted to reward myself by making a
deliciously healthy treat for me and the hubs.
(I heart baking)
I made the hubs' favorite dessert, with a chocolate twist on it this time! (Because I also heart chocolate.)
Chocolate Strawberry Cream Cupcakes!
I did the same recipe as before, only this time I used chocolate cake mix instead of white!
It's oh so good!!
And only 220 calories!
It felt good to take a little time out to reward myself, and give myself a little high 5!
I have almost lost 40 pounds you know ;)
(I can't wait to take the "almost" out of that sentence! I'm gettin' there:)
Tomorrow I'm going to announce the GIVEAWAY winner on the original giveaway post!
You can still enter until midnight tonight!
Be sure to check it out tomorrow to see if you won!
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! ;D
