fracas

The slumber party is underway. The martinis are quite smooth and the conversation has gravitated towards that typical topic that comes up whenever a bunch of women are together in one place, wearing baby doll pyjamas and drinking liquor.

Yep.. how to look better for the menfolk!

We logged on to google and went searching for the best ways to get ourselves feeling baby bum soft and looking baby bum smooth. 

Skin Care Recipes.

Over at BeautyCare.com, I learned that fruits such as strawberries, pineapples, and bananas make fun and simple facial masks. Even better, fruit acids are natural exfoliates that remove dead skin cells. Their advice? Just mash the fruits thoroughly and pat onto your face. What could be simpler than that?

While there, I found these recipes:

Green Tea Toner

1 teaspoon powdered green tea
1/2 cup purified hot waterMix green tea with hot water until thoroughly mixed. Cool to room temperature. Then apply toner mixture with cotton pad to face. Do not rinse. Unused portion may be refrigerated for 2 days

Homemade Mask

For normal to oily skin, mix 1 tablespoon of cognac, 1 egg, 1/4 cup of nonfat dry milk, the juice of 1 lemon, and a half-teaspoon of Epsom Salt.For normal to dry skin mix 1/4 cup of grated carrot, 1 1/2 teaspoons of mayonnaise and a half-teaspoon of Epsom Salt.

Apply the mask in the shower, to your damp face, to lock in the moisture.

Honey Cleansing Scrub

Mix 1 tablespoon of honey with 2 tablespoons finely ground almonds and 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice. Rub gently onto face. Rinse off with warm water.

Santa Barbara’s Dry Skin Masque

Beat the yolk of an egg until it is light and frothy, then add the mashed pulp of a half avocado, blending it well (you may use a blender at this point). Cleanse your face thoroughly before using this masque (or any masque). Spread the avocado mixture over the face and neck evenly; relax on a slant board or bed for about 20 minutes. Remove with clear tepid water and a face cloth, followed by a rinse of cold water or a mild skin lotion. The result should be a marked improvement in skin texture, and all-around revitalizing.

California Avocado Moisturizer

The inside of the avocado peel is actually valuable. The precious oil hidden away in the peel of the avocado is also a wonderful facial moisturizer. To be technical, the oil contains a humectant, a substance that holds moisture. Using gentle upward strokes, lightly massage your face with the inside of the peel. Let the oil residue remain on your skin for about 15 minutes. At that time you may either leave the oil on your skin and go to sleep or, if you intend to put on make-up, wash your face gently with three or four rinses of tepid water and pat dry. The oil will be invisible but it is there, ready to hold your foundation or powder in place for hours.

Sooth your skin

Combine three parts glycerine to one part rosewater, and apply like lotion.

And I thought to myself that I would most definitely be insisting that everyone at this slumber party would be rubbing honey and fruit all over their bodies in order to get that baby bum softness back into our lives without having to be pregnant again.

Well that is, except for whichever one of us plans on sneaking out to have sex with those bad boys in the leather jackets. She’ll probably get to feel the baby bum softness in the actual baby bum kind of way.

Excuse me for a moment now… I have to grind some almonds and whip some eggs for the masks.
