Clear Skin.

How do i keep my skin clear? Like this...

 I'm molding. In the best form. 

Whenever i have a HORRIBLE day i whip up this homemade facial, put my hair in a pony, pull on comfy pjs, and slather the goop all over my face. Its my medicine for bad days and for glowing skin. 

Here's the recipe. (this will keep in the fridge for 2-3 weeks)

MYHomemadeFacial

1 Banana - moisturizes, adds nutrients, helps with dark undereye circles, refreshing

3/4 cup old fashioned oats/instant oats - The highest amino acid content of any cereal grain; Contains silica which deeply moisturizes skin as well as (arguably) minimizes pores.

1 tsp of lemon juice- good for soothing and disinfecting acne

1 tablespoon honey-used for centuries on acne... it has disinfecting properties for bacteria as well as calms irritation and redness and doesn't dry out the skin.

1 6 oz. cup of plain greek yogurt--lactic acid soothes, cools, exfoliates, and ads a glow.

Place ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Apply to face for 15-25 minutes and remove with wet wash cloth. 

Thai Cabbage Salad

How one thing leads to another. Starting with a trip to Houston and no kitchen. 

Breakfast: Veggie Omelet and some fruit. (Okay, i should've asked that i receive no toast/potatoes/jam/very little oil but i'm only human and i forgot)

Lunch: Veggie Salad-Dressing on the Side (smart choice)

 Dinner: at Kona Grill. Cabbage Salad. 

Dessert: room service at 10 pm. 

 I have an excuse; Chocolate, Ice Cream, and Caramel Sauce help me deal with my emotions. I should use that more often. 

Ignoring the fact that i fully indulged in my cravings, let's focus on my dinner salad. It comes to me as a MASSIVE bowl of cabbage, light Asian Dressing, Veggies, and Peanuts. It's crunchy, light, sweet, and filling.  I love it. Thus, i must eat it again and here's how i did it. 

Five Ingredients + Peanuts +Dressing = YUM. 

Toss and Eat

ThaiCabbageSalad

Ingredients

4 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar 
1 tsp honey
1 tsp soy sauce
2 teaspoons Thai fish sauce
1 green cabbage, finely shredded
10 leaves spinach
1 small red onion, sliced extremely thinly
3 peeled and grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Honey-roasted peanuts

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the lemon juice, oil, sugar and fish sauce until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cabbage, spinach, onion, carrot, and cilantro and toss well. The dressing will coat the ingredients very lightly. Throw in a handful or two of peanuts, toss again, and chow down.
