Cheap thrills

You know how your mum promised you something as a child and then she forgot. or couldn't give it to you...and how bad she would feel later that she would try so hard to make you smile....that is me this instance...two posts in one day!! love me again...pretty please, I come bearing gifts

Okay, so you also know how I love DIY projects, and how if I can do it myself I just have to

Also...how much I love clean, organic, safe products for meals, skin, and drinking, breathing...apart from my cigarettes lol

And also...wine

This post is a bit of everything..

I learned this little effective exfoliating face mask from SkinnyWifeLife (on twitter)'s blog...

 
The aspirin mask...

basically, you just need six aspirins, and some water.

dissolve the aspirin on the palm of your hand with a dribble of water, it will form a paste, which you apply on your face...i gently scrub mine in, but you don't really have to...and that is it!

PROS

its cheap..this is seriously the only exfoliating scrub i know that is under ten shillings.

Its anti inflammatory....for those with trouble skin, this really helps with the swelling and the redness of spots on your face.

It opens up your pores, I used to think that I had really dry skin, and every scrub and wash I used would leave me with chaffed painful dry skin on my nose and cheeks...this makes my skin soft and moisturized...ofcourse I tested it severally before I posted this. duh

Its also really good for your skin tone by the way, no more fifty shades of grey on your face ;)

So you wake up in the morning with a really fresh face.

I put it on for fifteen minutes, then wash off and pat dry...

For instance, in my fifteen minutes, I have been sipping the last of my bottle of Frontera Carmenere 2010 that I have technically been babying for the last week. Its a fairly cheap bottle, a good replacement for the Cassilero Del Diablo Carmenere. Think, blueberries, plums and black pepper when you drink this bottle...its a really good red if I am being honest, because i am not exactly partial to reds.

So there..beauty and wine

Love, me
