I think I have a new addiction! DIY skincare! Thanks to the Spa At Home class at Sew Make Create last year by the talented Kyoko from So Soap, I have been less afraid to dabble in DIY skincare and am learning how to step out of my comfort zones more. The Hubbs approvingly nods that I'd make a good witch, with my "dash of this" and "pinch of that" approach to my concoctions. Hmm. Will keep that in mind if I want a career change. Or decide to moonlight.
Anyway, not only was it super easy to make the scrub and mask, I also felt quite refreshed and pampered after indulging in something so simple. Maybe it was because I had to take 10 - 15 minutes out of the day to do nothing but lie there and relax, although I'd like to think that the natural goodness of the ingredients had something to do with it too!
The full tutorial, with pictures by Natasha Mulhall, has been edited by JUNKEE & put on their website but the illustrated instructions are a bit small and some people had trouble reading it all. So here they are! I would think that these are self-explanatory, so no fancy schmancy DIY pictures of showing you how to mix things will be added here. Anyway, it's all been captured by Tasha on JUNKEE :)

I've also been recently addicted to adding a quarter of an overly ripe avocado into the face mask recipe. That's my favorite.. especially with the green tea leaves. The whole thing smells quite refreshing and I'm just happier throughout the day. Just be careful not to wander around the house with this one - it's not the prettiest of sights to see while on your face!
