GIRL'S NIGHT!

Grab your girl friends, break out the wine, send the guys off for the night, break out the finger foods and health snacks, because it's GIRL'S NIGHT TONIGHT! It's time to relax and spend a little time on yourself, no kids, no phones, no husbands wondering what your doing or bugging you, it's time for YOU!
I'm talking about getting the ladies together and pampering yourselves with a few luxuries that will leave you feeling good, making you laugh, and give you time to relax and unwind with the ladies. Because sometimes we tend to forget about our own needs and don't ever take enough time out for ourselves, it's FACIAL TIME!


I've got the perfect mask for your face that will leave your skin feeling 'baby bottom' smoothe, this is the mask for you!
First off you have to know the benefits to your skin of the ingredients I chose to put together and why. Here is the ingredient list:

GIRLS NIGHT OUT LIST;
1-3 Bottle(s) of your favorite wine
Finger Snacks/Healthy Snacks
3-5 of your closest friends

FACIAL TIME LIST:
1-2 ripe avocados
1 1/2- 2 cups unflavored greek yogurt
1 whole cucumber, peeled & cut
1 blender
Kaolin clay (you can get this at your local drug store)
1 1" soft brissel paint brush

Facial Directions:
In your blender place, peeled avacado(s), unflavored greek yogurt,  peeled and cut pieces of the cucumber, turn your blender on high until the ingredients are pureed and no chunks are visible. pour the yogurt, avocado(s) yogurt and cucumber into a glass or ceramic bowl, and slowly stir in the kaolin clay 1/2 cup at a time unti the clay is completely mixed together. Your finished mask should be thick like thick paint - creamy peanut butter.
Wash your face before applying the facial mask to help loosen the dead skin cells to allow the mask to work better. Pat your face dry, apply the mask with the paint brush with smoothe strokes. Once the mask is applied completely, avoiding eye area, allow the mask to sit on your face for 15-20 minutes. Using warm water and a wet wash cloth, remoisten the mask, using your ring fingers gently rub the mask to remove all dead skin and remove the mask with extra splashes of water.
** Try using some witch hazel as a toner after remiving the mask, then using a dime size drop of aloe gel, followed with a light moisturizer**




Why I chose this recipe:

CUCUMBERS - Cucumber has diuretic properties, the cooling effect, and detergents that are beneficial to the skin. High water content, vitamins A, B and C and minerals like magnesium, potassium, manganese, and silicon to make a cucumber becomes an important part of skin care. A form that contains cucumber extract to close the skin. Ascorbic acid and caffeic acid are present in the cucumber can lower the level of water retention, which in turn reduces the swelling around the eyes.

GREEK YOGURT - Yogurt include some antibacterial properties which makes it very useful degerming cleansers. Yogurt lactic acid ingredient relieves the irritating problems, makes clear the pores and softens your skin. Generally, you can say that yogurt is well known because of its probiotics which contains more active and active cultures. That’s why it is very useful and helpful to treat your skin in a natural way. It saves you from the problems like eczema, dryness in skin and acne.

AVOCADOS - Avocados are good face mask. It’s specially hydrating and nourishing that gently cleanses oily skin with no irritation and keeps your skin pores healthy for a natural and rejuvenating feeling.

KAOLIN CLAY - Used alone or mixed with other ingredients, clay can purify, cleanse, tone, heal, soothe and nourish all types of skin. It is easy to use, and cost little money. Dermatology this technique is used since antiquity, and the Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks and Romans already knew his virtues.

NEW SHOP!

Well this past weekend has truly pushed the envelope for all of us, it has made me realize that inner strength is what matters most, and that pushing yourself to the limits is truly a gift. I am talking about moving! Yeah, we all know the feeling, packing, loading everything you own into a truck only to drive to your destination and have to unload it all again, then you have to unpack it all and find a home for everything all over again. Yeah, I hate moving too, moving test's the inner strength of people, it will make you hurt in more ways than you can ever imagine, it will create havoc in your life but in the end it brings a peace too.

We moved our family and my shop to a new location, the family we moved to Algoma WI and the shop we simply moved a couple of blocks away from it's previous location. No matter how you look at it, it's still a test.

Here's a couple of pictures of the new shop:




I am proud to say we have come a long way in a short time, it was time to upgrade the shop into a larger location. If you ever in Algoma WI stop by and see what Green Girl Bath & Body has become!

BOO Berry Halloween Cupcake Soaps

Just in time for Halloween! I was in the mood to make some fun Trick or Treat items for the kids and adults who love Halloween.
BOO Berry Halloween Cupcake Soap, The cupcake is in the shape of a pumpkin, each cupcake soap has 2 additional treats for your little Trick or Treater, one spider ring and one bat ring complete with a 'Pick your Poison' tag.

BOO Berry Halloween Mini Cupcake Soap, Same as the larger cupcake above but smaller!

Boo Berry Halloween Cupcake Soaps are scented with Berry Bewitching fragrance, a nice not too sweet but 'OH so yummy' scent that is not too overpowering.
