I found this great recipe for a facial scrub while surfing youtube.
video is from Kandee Johnson... If you love make up I highly recommend you follow her on you tube, she is so fun to watch and knows her stuff!
This is a great gift you can make ahead. Simply take some organic sugar, I LOVE LOVE LOVE using a course Turbinado brown sugar (You can find this in the bulk section of Whole Foods or any health food store) and mix it with ornanic lemon juice. I actually like to find a small mason jar, fill it with sugar and lemon juice to create a simple paste similar to other sugar scrubs you would find in bath or body stores. Since lemon is a natural preservative... this should last a while. You can even decorate your package for your friend, making it a little more custom.
Day 7- Yummy breakfast treats...
So this recipe came out of sheer desperation after I came home from Brave Girl Camp. While there at camp, each day the girls would prepare some amazing snacks for us. Once of these being an Apricot Brie Tart. Well these little guys stuck with me (literally, I think I gained 7 pounds on these alone!) after I came home. Now just the thought of trying to create a tart sends me into a state of panic, I love cooking and love recipes... but I need it to be simple, easy and well inexpensive.
So this is my easy-peasy knock of version of the Brave Girl Apricot Brie Tart recipe... perfect for the morning especially for those special guests who can appreciate carbs stuffed with fruit and brie (that was just for you Holli!)
Pretty self explanitory- take cresent rolls (highly recommend reduced fat, as this combo is NOT exactly low fat) , brie and apricot preserves (I have also used Marion Blackberry from Target that was AWESOME!)
Lay out your crescent roll as usual, but before you roll it from the bottom to the tip, add a chunk of Brie and a small amount of jam.
Next, start from the wide side of your crescent and roll towards the point, folding the point over your roll and making sure to pinch and secure all of the goodies that are inside of your crescent.
Next lay your yummies out on a cookie sheet and bake according to your crescent wrapper suggestions.
After they are done cooking, take them immediately off of your cookie sheet and lay them to cool on a plate.
These are just to yummy for words, and you will enjoy pairing these with a tall glass of milk or even bacon (If you just decide to throw all caution to the wind,lol)
