Today I got the idea from Lilou to spend my money "in my mind" & I chose to do this by virtually picking out things I would like to buy today.

Here are today's picks! I urge you to try this! it's very fun!!

Today I tried an oatmeal facial mask. Just regular instant oatmeal (Maple & Brown Sugar) mixed with water and heated up for a little bit to make a paste (around 10-15 seconds).
Then spread on your face (make sure it isn't too hot) and let sit for 10 minutes.
Rinse off with a warm wash cloth
Then splash your face with cold water to close the pores back up.

You can really see a difference! It makes your face really smooth and tightens up your skin and pores. It feels really soft but I still recommend probably putting a little bit of moisturizer on.

Your going to only want to do this once or twice a month.

This is a great cheap way to improve your skin! & It smells yummy too!

Try it out!

I am so grateful and happy right now. I am planning on getting a job tomorrow, yes that's right I GOT A JOB. I am so in line with happiness these past few days it feels great and I am making a promise to myself to read my intentions every day! Life is so beautiful and amazing. I'm so grateful to have everything in my life right now, a loving finace...a great life ahead.

So I am trying to eat healthy and lose 4-5lbs and tone up. So I am focusing on that and trying to do cardio as well.
