Shop your pantry...for a fresh face glow

With all these thoughts of desserts and indulgent treats, I had a flash forward to the lethargic life style I would be setting up. With that in mind, and the ever classic "new years resolution" I decided to workout this morning. To the untrained eye, that might not seem like an impressive achievement, but for me, it was a glorious moment. I love sweet and savory treats, but I truly believe in a balanced life style, and being more consistent with my workout regiment is a step in the right direction.

With the help of a good friend, I was recommended to try out the Nike App where they have quick pre-designed workouts. Safe to say when I tried it, I loved it! Granted I only did three simple workouts, that lasted all of 30 minutes, but it was a step in the right direction.

After my nice and sweaty workout, I wanted to make sure I took care of my skin. I am obsessed with makeup and skin care, but in the spirit of being fiscally responsible, I shopped my own pantry to create a new lemon, sugar face scrub.

Exfoliating lemon sugar scrub:
4 table spoons white granulated sugar
1 table spoon olive oil
1 table spoon lemon juice

This scrub is perfect for the dry, cold winter months in New England. Use small amounts in circular motions to scrub off all the dead skin cells while the oil nourishes your skin!
