Leftovers, Crafts and Masks... Oh My!

We still have a lot of pasta and cake left so tonight was a fend for yourself night. It was also an incredibly lazy night and was pretty uneventful so I don't have anything interesting to post.

I did start making an apron out of an old t-shirt though and I should have that tutorial coming soon. It turned out to be a lot more complicated than I thought it was going to be since I have an endless supply of fabrics and sewing gadgets here thanks to my sister taking a semester of Fashion Design last year.

Other than that, my night was spent watching TV with the boyfriend and the family and feasting on leftovers. Did anyone else see the premiere of "The Hatfields and McCoys" miniseries? What were your thoughts? It seemed pretty interesting, but I'll wait until I see the other two to form an opinion.

The only thing that could have made this day more relaxing is my homemade strawberry and chocolate mud mask that I have cooling in the fridge and may just have to use before going to bed. The cocoa and sour cream moisturizes, the strawberry is an antioxidant with anti aging and pore shrinking benefits, the honey is a natural cleanser and the oatmeal exfoliates. Warning: it smells like chocolate brownies and it will make you crave chocolate.

Chocolate and Strawberry Mask

• 1/4 c powdered cocoa
• 1/2 c sour cream
• 5 strawberries, mashed
• 2 tbs honey
• 1 tbs crushed oatmeal

Mix all ingredients together in a resealable bowl.
Cleanse skin and apply a toner.
Dry face and apply mask.
Leave on for at least 15 minutes. I usually leave it on for an hour or so or until mask has hardened.
Rinse face.
Apply a moisturizer.

Mask should last a few weeks if kept in fridge.
