Step Away From the Pie!

It's no secret that I have a weakness for desserts.   I didn't want to pass that trait along to my kids, so I've worked hard since they were babies to teach them to stop eating when they're full.  This means that I end up finishing all the pies.  I finished the Lemon Pie first, and the Pumpkin one is left.   Luckily for me, Pumpkin -- in both its puree or pie form -- makes a great spa facial.

Here's the recipe:

Mix 2 Tbs pumpkin puree with 1/2 tsp honey, then add, depending on skin type, 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of (milk, cream, or yogurt for dry skin) or (apple cider vinegar or cranberry juice for oily skin). Apply to cleansed face, avoiding eye area and rest for 10 minutes. Rinse with water and moisturize.  If you have a lot of leftover pie, make up a larger batch,  and add some Brown Sugar for a great body scrub.
