Spring Spa Day!




We had another girls night out (in) last night. This time we did a spring spa day. We had such a fun time. I think we might be making some headway in chasing winter away.
We started out by making some spaggetti and garlic bread for dinner. Then we deep conditioned our hair. (by putting some really strong conditioner in our while it was dry and then putting our hair in a ponytail for a while.) Awhile back I bought a book about how to make "at home spa treatments," this book suggested putting a mushed up avocado into your hair for a deep conditioning treatment. We didn't try it because we didn't have an avocado. Maybe next time. I try to include both of my girls and David in Girls night out. So David and Dolce both had Olive oil put in their hair for some deep conditioning.
Then it was on to facials. Try this recipe for a good exfoliating facial mask.

Honey Oatmeal Facial Scrub

2 tsp honey
1 Tablespoon Oatmeal

Mix honey and oatmeal together in a bowl until blended. After giving yourself a steam facial treatment by putting a washcloth soaked in hot water over your face apply the facial scrub to your skin and leave on for ten minutes. Scrub gently before removing with warm water and a washcloth. Follow up with your favorite moisturizer.


We did this and little Mckinley seriously thought her mommy was off her rocker when we were putting breakfast on our faces. She specifically requested cucumbers for our eyes though.

Next, we did pedicures and painted our toes beautiful spring colors! Dolce even got her toes painted.
Lastly, we made Daddy give us hand massages while we watched The Barbie 3 Musketeers, followed by chocolate brownies with strawberry ice cream on top.
We feel so revitalized now!
