I have been doing pretty well with keeping up with my workouts lately, but was inspired by my friend Jen's post on having a little reward system by way of pampering. And by pampering, I mean heading to the kitchen to make stuff, because I have nothing.  I need to get a second job at Lush, for real.  Anywho, I decided to do what everyone else does and browse Pinterest for DIY beauty ideas, and came across a lot of face masks, and tried out a bunch of them this week. Face masks, scrubs, and hair treatments. I have felt so girly this week, it has been awesome. 

Anyways, my favorite has been the "Burning Face Mask" (it came up a dozen times), because it is super easy, left my face feeling smooth, and it smells like Christmas, dammit. 

All you need is: 

1/2 tablespoon cinnamon

1/2 tablespoon cloves

1 tablespoon honey

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Mix it all up in a small bowl, then just rub all over your face, until it is evenly covered. It will feel tingly for about 4-5 min, hence the "burning" name, but then it is fine. It is SUPER sticky, so make sure that your hair is pinned back from your face. Let it sit on your face for 30 minutes, then wash off.
