DIY Natural Face Masks.

                                                                Tighten & Tone

This is a great ingredient for you skin to help tighten up those pores a little more.  You can use it as a toner or as a mask.  If you want to use it as a daily toner (or less if you want) then you will use 1 tablespoon ACV with 2 cups waters.  Use it as a rinse after cleansing your face.  For a mask, you'll use 1/4 cup vinegar with a 1/4 cup water and apply to your face and let it dry.  Rinse your face about 5 mins after drying.

                                                                  Extra Moisture

To leave your skin feeling softer and smoother mash up a whole medium banana, and combine it with a 1/4 cup plain yogurt and 2 tablespoons honey.  Apply and let it set for 10-20 minutes and then rinse off with med. temp. water.

                                                                       Exfoliate

For a super easy exfoliating facial simply squeeze the juice from one large lemon and mix it with a 1/4 cup olive oil.  Your skin will also get some moisture from this mask.

Rejuvenate

Give yourself a nice cold, rejuvenating facial by mixing 1/4 cup of powdered milk with cold water to form a paste.  Mix the water in until it becomes only pasty because you'll want it to be more pasty than runny. Apply to your skin, allow to dry and rinse after 10-15 minutes.

While our outer beauty often shines through our inner beauty, it is definitely a confidence when we feel like our skin is 'glowing', and these are just a couple of ways to help with that...or at least make ya feel like that!  Enjoy!

Homemade Lemonade

I saw this recipe from a page I follow on FB (The Lulu & Leo Fund) and wanted to share it with all of you. Especially all of you here in HOT Panama!!

Enjoy some fresh homemade lemonade with us here at Mama C's. I know I will be making this!

Lulu's Famous Lemonade
2 1/4 cup sugar
2 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 9-12 lemons)
Cold water

In a medium saucepan, boil 2 1/4 cups water until boiling. Remove from heat, add sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the lemon juice and stir with a wooden spoon. Transfer to a large pitcher. Add enough cold water so that it equals the amount of lemon syrup (it should be half syrup, half water). Cover and refrigerate until cold. Serves 6-8.
