My skin has been acting up a lot lately as I have been working out more and eating healthier (my body is in complete shock to be truthful) so I decided to have a makeup free night and treat myself a bit. I first started with a Facial Clay Mask in Avocado and Oatmeal.
Put it on a damp face, wait of for it to dry and harden, then wash off with warm water. Pat dry.
These were all the products I used during the night on my face. The Freeman's Facial Clay Mask Avocado and Oatmeal Mask. After my face was pat dried, I put my SeaRX Birchsap Moisturizing Cream, which I received in my November Ipsy bag and I love! Throughout the night, if my skin felt a bit dry, I applied my All Day Moisture Lotion, in the CVS brand, but it is just like the Olay lotion. To keep those lips moist all night, I used my Wet n Wild Juicy Lip Balm. My hair always loves to get in my face on relaxing nights in, so I tied it back with a simple scrunch!
Since giving up soda, I have gotten back on my teeth whitening regiment aka putting these strips on my teeth for 30 minutes once a day. The Crest 3D Whitestrips with Advanced Seal are a tad expensive but these are the best I found that are worth the money!
After taking care of my skin and teeth, I decided to do a bit of baking. These were so easy to make! Each packet of Betty Crocker's Chocolate Chip Muffin Mix make about 6 muffins and costs around $1.50 so I bought two packets and went to work.
In a large mixing bowl, I put both packets in and since each packet called for 1/2 cup of water, I put in 1 cup of water and mixed! Yummmmy.
After greasing up the pan, I filled up each up about halfway and popped them in oven at 350F for 20 minutes.
Of course, while they were baking, the ever important BuzzFeed quizzes took over. So much fun on a relaxing night in.
20 minutes and bam, the delicious muffins were done and looking delicious.
Before settling in for the night, I made a cuppa which of course I use Lipton Black Tea, a bit of Domino Sugar and Skim Milk.
That is the end of my relaxing night in! Some facials, moisturizing, whitening, baking muffins, tea all happened and it all ended with a marathon of Gossip Girl, starting with the Season 1 Episode 1. I hope you enjoyed this bit different of a blogpost. It was certainly a lovely night in, as much as I love going out and hanging with friends, sometimes a cozy night in on a snowy fall day is all you need.
I also did my nails, well my roommate did my nails, so be sure to follow my blog to see this week's Nail Varnish of the Week!
XOXO -M.S.
