Pampering with Charcoal

This coming Saturday I'm hosting a fun 'Pamper Yourself' get together with one of my friends Erin. I'm SUPER excited about it! One of the things we are creating is a charcoal mask!

We got some activated charcoal, aloe, apricot oil and some of our favorite EO's for skin and we are ready to rock!

Want to know why Erin and I decided to host a party where we rub charcoal on our faces? Here's the deal - because toxins stick to the activated charcoal, it makes a good candidate for a deep cleanser and detoxifier. It’s all-natural and won’t add new chemicals to your skin when you use it. That also means, less for your skin to have negative reactions to and less risk of your pores being clogged with a new ingredient meant to clean.

We are adding apricot oil or aloe to provide moisture for your skin and Tea Tree - which is HIGHLY recommended to help with blemishes. I have a few other oils that we can add a drop into the mix (of course!), such as Manuka, Geranium, Lavender and Frankincense. 

SO EXCITED!

Weekend

This weekend M and I got to go to Portland and spend some time with my sister and her family. She has two little boys and one on the way, so every second has noise/crying/laughter. Joellen and I got to spend some time away (went to the mall) which was a perfect break from chaos. I did get quite a bit of knitting done and was able to post some new stuff up on my Etsy shop ! I also got three custom orders (yay!!). If you see anything on my site you like but are interested in a different size, color or color combos just let me know! Here is a peek of my new product!
