Oat & Honey Face Mask

Posted in Skin by

I am always looking for ways to improve my skin. I notice that when I pamper my skin, it looks healthy. When I don’t, I start to get bumps and marks.

I decided to pamper my skin more and the first step was making my own Oat & Honey face mask.

I chopped oats in my Magic Bullet until it was powdery. I then mixed the oats, honey and milk to create a paste to apply to my face. I applied it and left it on for about 15-20 minutes. Of course I was multi-tasking and lost track of time.

Once the time elapsed, I wet my face with the mask on it and massaged it a little, then rinsed it off completely.

My face looks and feels great. My only concern was if the mixture would clog my sink since it was a bit clumpy in the end.

I’ll try it again tomorrow or later in the week since there’s plenty left over. A little goes a long way.

Twists & Shrinkage

Posted in Hairstyles, Length Check, Skin by

This is my third week of having twists. I wasn’t planning to twist my hair for so long, but after seeing how moisturized my hair was after the first week, I decided to keep it going. The goal is to wear twists for a full month. One more week to go after this set.

People keep asking me what I use in my hair and I realized the only thing I use is olive oil. I don’t use any other products for hold or moisture when I twist my hair. I oil my hair when its wet and I first twist it and I oil it a few times during the week.

My face is very sensitive, so now I’ve been trying to twist it into styles where my hair isn’t hanging in my face because my forehead broke out from the first week. *thumbs down* My skin was doing so well for so long.

Here’s this weeks style…

…and look at how much shrinkage I have!!! People always ask me how long my hair is now. I realized that it’s because it looks so short in its natural state. Shrinkage is a beast!
