A Spa Day

What are two "girlie girls" supposed to do on a snow day. What else but have a spa day. First we got a facial recipe from the Internet.
SPA Home Recipe of the Month! Mocha Facial Mask
Clean skin holds more moisture and looks brighter. The milk and coffee contain natural food acids that help rid your skin of surface debris and dead skin cells. The cocoa powder helps condition and soothe your complexion. Use weekly to wake up a dull complexion--especially in the winter!
Mix together 4 TBS of finally ground espresso or coffee; 4 TBS of cocoa powder, 8 TBS of whole milk until you have a smooth paste. Spread over clean face and neck. Let sit for 15 minutes and rinse well with warm water. BONUS : Smells great but adds no calories to your diet! Great for keeping your New Years Resolution.
This is what the mixture looked like before we put it on our face.
Here we are as it dries....

And now with our cucumber slices over our eyes. We are supposed to be relaxing, but the giggles wouldn't stop.
Maci made a nice healthy relaxing drink for us to sip on.
Next we did pedicures....
Maci using Molli's massager that she got for Christmas from Tyler.
Sorry Molli, some girls have to go to work.
Then it was popcorn and a movie.
Maci picked Steel Magnolias. So, I also got a good cry in.
It was such a fun day. Now we're ready to face the work and school week.
Guess we'll see what tomorrow brings. I'm sure that if we are stuck in the house again, we can come up with something fun to do.
If you have any suggestions, please let us know.
