  Hi ,
As I sit here desperately trying to stay focused on my work, this super adorable baby squirrel is totally distracting me. He's eating dropped birdseed on the back porch door mat and I keep grabbing the camera to get the perfect shot. Okay...focus, focus, focus.

June...the month in which Summer begins. I thought it would be fun to share some homemade summertime facial mask recipes. Fun, yummy, and beneficial. Shawn and I have smoothies for breakfast every morning. We always put strawberries in that we get by the flat at the Farmer's market. We are now down to our last bag which is marked "June '09"- perfect timing!

Check out the Featured Products Of The Month - Coffee & Sea Kelp Contour Scrub and Organic Wild Thyme Foot Pumice. Between these and a homemade strawberry facial mask, you'll be livin' it up at your 'spa at home'!
 
Enjoy the sweet pleasures of Summer!

Thanks for your support and enthusiasm with donating your hair and old nylons to help clean up the oil spill. I sent all the hair clippings and nylons I had to the east coast where volunteers will make booms and mats. It feels good to be able to help the situation in this way.

Keep the nylons - and hair - coming!  ;-)

Eyes Homemade Summer Strawberry Masks

Mmmm.......Strawberries, honey, cream, lemon. These homemade masks are bound to make you drool! ;-)


Strawberries make an excellent cleansing and skin-softening facial mask. They contain salicylic acid, which rids the skin of dead cells, allowing it to absorb moisture more efficiently. Strawberries also have a mild bleaching effect on the skin and help to heal blemishes. People with sensitive or sunburned skin might find strawberries irritating. You might want to test on a small patch of skin first to assess your skin's reaction.


Here are some really simple strawberry masks. They have 4 ingredients or less - ingredients that your bound to have in your kitchen once strawberry season is in full swing here. Make sure you use organic strawberries. Non-organic strawberries are know to contain heavy residues of pesticides.

(They are one of the "Dirty Dozen" foods.) (see "Dirty Dozen" list)  (see news video)
