Zit be gone!!

OK... So, I have a little trick for you all!! I don't know about you but I will get a zit here and there... and a little more then a zit when aunt flow is on her merry way! Now, I have spent so much damn money on face creams, face wash's, spot treatments you name it... I have probably bought it! ugh
I did find a AMAZING face wash that has helped sooo much! (I will post that in another bog!) But as I struggled with the fact that I almost 25 and still having random breaks I came upon this little trick and I thought I would share the wealth!!


This is what you need:
1 aspirin pill
1 teaspoon of water
1 zip lock baggy


*YEP... That's it!!! HELLOOOOOOO! Cant get any better then that, right?!

• Sooo, what you want to do is put your aspirin in a zip-lock and crush that mother into a power!! You can use a spoon or just your husbands hammer, like I do!! (it's way faster if you use a hammer!)  
• Then you want to mix in your water SLOWLY and make a paste. You want the paste to be wet enough to soak into the infected area but think enough to stay put!!
• Then apply to the zit or in my case... zits.
• You should leave it there for 10-15 min or just until dry and flaking off! I usually do it before bed... watch a TV show and then go to sleep... it will flake off in your sleep and it makes me feel like I am really giving that zit the ol' 1, 2!!
• You will not only notice the is redness gone, but the size of your little friend will have greatly diminished!!  

So good luck to you all! I hope you never need this trick but if you do, here it is!!!

Clear skin and hugs!!

10 min. Banana Nut Bread recipe

Yep.. you read that right, 10 min!! Fall is just around the corner (thank god!) and I decided to jump the gun a bit and make some homemade banana nut bread last night! But... I simplified it to make it fast, easy and (I think) a little more delicious then ever before! Did I mention my house smelled like a freaking bakery!!!...AMAZING... one of my favorites things EVER!! 

your nana's should look like this

Here is what you will need:

3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed

1/3 cup melted butter

1 cup sugar (can easily reduce to 3/4 cup)

1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch of salt

1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

a pinch (or 2) of cinnamon (optional)

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

No need for a mixer for this recipe!! Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix in cinnamon and nuts (if used). Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve. 

Hello!?!? How freaking easy, right?!

and there you have it!! Easy as pie!!... but its bread! 

YOU ALL MUST TRY THIS!! I mean, you CAN'T get any easier then that!! If you think you don't have time to make this... Then you have major issues!! I'm sure most of you already have 99% of ingredients in your cupboards!! 

SO DO IT!! I promise, you wont be sorry!!

-Enjoy

Hugs and bananas kisses!

Cod Liver Oil taste test! (day 1 of skin experiment)

The day has come!! I got my Cod Liver Oil in the mail yesterday!! I was really excited to see if this little baby was going to work the wonders on my face that so many had promised it would! 

So, I told you I would take Before pictures (I cant believe I am posting pictures of myself with no make-up on!) I am so sorry to do this to you! But, here you go!

It's not the best pic... But you can see the uneven color on my skin and couple blemish's.... and my ugly birth mark under my eye! ugh

Now you might be surprised.... But I dont own a shot glass!! Crazy, right?! So I had to use just a normal glass.

This is where I went wrong!! I had put WAY more then a shot glass full in this damn cup!! 

Alright, here we go!!... Because I got so much great feed back on recording me taking my first shot of this crap I did it! (soooo against my better judgment!)  As painful as this is for me to watch my self in a video... here is goes! 

As you can see... It tasted like lemon covered shit! But, then again... I also drank more then I needed! So I will try it again tonight with a shot glass and let you all know! 

You're Welcome!
