With the cold winds still blustering outside, my face has been looking rather dried out lately. Therefore I decided to do an avocado facial mask to perk my skin up for Spring!

Revitalizing Avocado Facial Mask



Ingredients:
1/2 avocado
1 tbsp honey
1/2 tbsp loose leaf green tea leaves
(optional) facial moisturizer 

Instructions:
1. Mush 1/2 of an avocado in a bowl (or puree if you prefer)


2. Mix in honey and green tea


3. Mix contents and gentle apply all over face (make sure your face is clean/washed before applying facial mask)

4. Leave on for 3-5 minutes
5. Rinse face thoroughly 
6. (optional) Apply moisturizer to face

Voila a clear and rejuvenated face! Feel beautiful today!

Simple Winter Crochet Scarf Pattern

As winter is in full blast on the Northern hemisphere it is time to bundle up! And what better way then to make a scarf for your self or loved one. I love this pattern because its easy to do and fairly quick depending on the yarn you use!

Simple Winter Crochet Scarf



For this pattern you could use one kind of yarn throughout the whole scarf or you could do something like I did, which is take six balls of yarn (2 Cream, 1 Wine Red, 1 Orange Masala, 1 Forest Green, and 1 Moss Green) and have the colors alternate every two rows.


Items needed:
One "J" Crochet hook
2 balls of one base color
One ball each of 3-4 various colors
(I used Knit Picks brand 100% Peruvian wool, 231 yards (50 grams) per ball)

Scarf Pattern:
1. Chain 26
2. On every other chain you will want to sc2, ch2, sc2, repeat until row is complete
3. On the next row in the 2ch space of the previous row, sc2, ch2, sc2, repeat until row is complete (The pattern should start to look like the one shown below)


4. Repeat step 3 until scarf is desired length
5. Once scarf is desired length tie off, and your scarf is complete!

Note: If you are alternating colors, I highly recommend you alternate every two rows versus every row, itll make it easier to alternate colors and generally looks more appealing to the eyes once the scarf is finished.
