    Last week, you voted on what you’d like to learn “how to.” So, this week, I’ll be teaching you “how to” do an at home facial. Facials are a great way to keep skin healthy, but going to a spa every month can certainly add up. That’s why finding ingredients that you have lying around at home is a great and inexpensive alternative.

    Step 1:

    Cleanse Skin. You want to start with a clean palate. Get all the daily gunk off your face before we begin.

    Step 2:

    Facial Scrub

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup sweet almond oil
    • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
    • 1 tbsp ground oatmeal
    • 1 tsp nutmeg

    Instructions

    Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight jar for further use. Scrub face with mixture 2-3 minutes, rinse, and pat dry

    Step 3:

    Steam. Fill up your sink with hot water. Place a washcloth in the water and then press against your face. Repeat several times. Careful not to scorch those pretty little fingers.

    Step 4:

    Facial Mask

    Ingredients

    • 1 tbsp powdered brewer’s yeast
    • 1/2 tbsp plain yogurt
    • 1 tsp lemon juice
    • 1 tsp orange juice
    • 1 tsp carrot juice
    • 1 tsp olive oil

    Instructions

    Combine all ingredients and apply to face and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse and pat dry. 

    1. .
    Now that your face is fresh and lovely, take a minute to vote for next week’s How To Tuesday.

    Alright, guys: you asked for it. Here in the very first episode of How To Tuesday, I will show you how to make the perfect sangria. Bottoms up:

    In case you were so mesmerized by my face, here is the recipe again:

    • 4 bottles Sauvignon Blanc
    • 1 bottle White Zinfandel
    • 10 oz. Triple Sec
    • 6 oz. 7 Star Brandy
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 6 oz. Pomegranate juice
    • 6 oz. 7Up
    • Fresh fruit cut into cubes or small slices.  You can use whatever you like, but realize it will effect the way your sangria tastes. Apples, pears, grapes, pineapple, mango all work well.

    Combine all wine, liquor and sugar in a large glass container. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add fruit, pomegranate juice, and 7up and stir again. Refrigerate over night for flavors to combine. (If you can’t wait that long- it’s still fine to drink right away).

    Now, be sure to vote for next week’s How To Tuesday video:

    So, I’m thinking about starting a little somethin’ somethin’ called “How To Tuesday” where I will walk you through a “how to” on various subjects. I mean, it’s basically going to happen- you really have no choice, but you do have a choice as to what you’d like to learn how to do first. Pick from the choices below or write in something of your own.

    Looking forward to your feedback.
