DIY Lip Scrub

  

 Ive been using Lip Scrub for sometime. And there are lots of fun ones out there on the market but they can come with a price tag. 

And that's why I wanted to share this easy DIY created with things all in our home.

Mix:

1/8 tsp sugar

1/8 tsp Fractionated Coconut Oil

1 drop Peppermint Oil
( Adding the peppermint oil will add a little extra natural plump to your lips).

Mix all of the ingredients well. Then take a small amount on the end of your finger and scrub your lips generously with it.  (You can keep any left over in a small air tight container).

 

One of the biggest benefits to the scrub is getting rid of all of the dead skin cells that are on your lips. By removing the dead cells you'll have a much smoother finish to your lips when you apply your 

lip stain/stick/gloss.

Cherry Cake Desert

 We had coffee guests over this morning and I made one of my favorite brunch items! I first tried this several years ago when a friend made this for a MOPS brunch and Ive used the recipe many times since. Its so pretty and tastes amazing!

 Ingredients: 

 1 can cherry pie filling

1kg white cake mix (I used a cake mix from our local flour mill).

1 cup sour cream

3 eggs

 Mix all above, except pie filling, until moist (will be lumpy). Pour into a greased jelly roll pan (I used a large stone bar pan). Drop cherry pie filling onto cake by the tablespoonful. Swirl with a knife. Bake for 25 min at 350degrees, cool.

 Topping: 

1/4 cup almonds (optional).

1 1/2 C powdered sugar

2 Tbsp milk

dash vanilla

 Sprinkle cooled cake with almonds and drizzle topping back and forth on top of cake. 

Enjoy!
