Oatmeal Mask Fail

So yesterday night, my mom and I were going to treat ourselves to a little relaxation with a moisturizing mask. We didn't have any such masks so we decided to make our own! I went online and picked an oatmeal mask at random. Big mistake. The mask we chose had WAY to much liquid and when we tried to apply the mask to our faces, it ran down. The mask wouldn't stick or stay thus making quite a mess. The mask was from www.somewhatsimple.com. Now, I'm sure the mask would be fine with the ingredients given, however; the amount of the water and milk outweighed the oatmeal by too much. As much fun as it was to laugh at how ridiculous we looked with oatmeal running down our faces, I would still love to experience the relaxation of laying back with a moisturizing mask rejuvenating my skin. If anyone has any good websites or recipes, let me know! And I wish the best for all your at home spa adventures.

Sweet Potatoes and Avocados?

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am addicted to Pinterest. ADDICTED. It's a serious issue, but today I used my pinning powers for good. I found a new recipe to try for dinner. It's called "Sweet Potato Burrito Smothered in Avocado Salsa Verde" from cookieandkate.com. I wanted to try it purely because I wanted to see how sweet potatoes and avocados tasted together. The verdict? It was so GOOD!!! If you would like to eat this deliciousness yourself, here is the link: http://cookieandkate.com/2012/sweet-potato-burrito-smothered-in-avocado-salsa-verde/ . I did change it because I didn't have all the ingredients but it was still very good. I didn't have hot paprika or cayenne so I used regular paprika and red hot pepper flakes. For the Avocado Salsa Verde, I didn't have garlic. I was going to use garlic powder but I didn't have that either but the sauce still turned out amazing. This is a picture of how my version of the burrito turned out. Not as beautiful as the staged, and well-lit, pictures on Pinterest but, hey!, I was too hungry.

I encourage all of you to try this recipe! Let me know how yours turn out!

Newbie

Hello! I love going to websites and blogs that help to inspire me and guide me through my own projects so I decided to start my own blog to help others. I am by no means a expert on anything that I do but I love to dabble and I believe in learning by doing! On this blog, I plan on posting about what project I'm on at the moment, if that be an up-coming party, a costume, or just doing a cool, new hairstyle, and hopefully I will be able to help inspire and guide you through your projects.
