8 habits that will make u slim

DIY Coffee Face Mask

The coffee face mask is  actually an ideal mask for all skin types – with a few add-ins depending

 on your skin concerns. About 10 years ago, beauty companies started to use caffeine as an 

ingredient in face products because of its incredible tightening effects. So, while this mask

 is meant to brighten your complexion, it will also tighten it, revealing a more youthful you!

What You’ll Need:

1/2 Cup ground organic coffee beans (you can grind your own or buy pre-ground)

1/2 Cup organic, unsweetened cocoa powder

1 Cup of unsweetened whole milk

1 Tbsp of lemon juice (for dry skin, try olive or almond oil)

1 Tbsp of honey (for extra oily or acne prone skin, use additional lemon juice here instead of honey)

Bowl

Benefits of the Ingredients:

Coffee Beans – Reduces inflammation and redness, and the appearance of under eye circles. 

As an exfoliator, removes dead skin and “wakes up” a tired complexion.

Cocoa Powder – A good source of antioxidants; repairs damage due to environmental 

pollutants and free radicals. Contains high levels of sulfur (great for fighting acne).

Milk – It is said that Cleopatra bathed in milk to give her skin a healthy glow. 

Lactic acid exfoliants while natural enzymes help to smooth skin. Amino acids keep skin hydrated.

Lemon Juice – Acts as an exfoliant. Contains natural vitamin C to lighten, tighten and brighten. 

Great for regulating oil production.

Honey – A natural humectant that locks in moisture.

Directions:

In your bowl, mix the finely ground coffee beans with the cocoa powder. 

Add in the milk, stir until it creates a paste. For a thicker paste, use less milk. 

Fold in lemon juice and honey. Apply to skin and let dry (up to 20 minutes). 

Wash off and store any extras in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Workout for chest and triceps

Triceps bench dip

How To Do It: Sit on the edge of a flat exercise bench and place your hands, fingers facing forward, next to your thighs. Place your feet on the floor in front of you, knees bent. Keeping your arms straight, scoot forward so your butt is hovering in front of the edge of the bench (A). Inhale, bend your arms, and lower your butt (B), stopping when your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Exhale and push yourself back up, straightening your arms.
*you can use a chair instead of exercise bench so it is a home workout too =)

Also Works: Chest

Add a Twist: To make the move even more challenging, extend your legs straight in front of you.

DIY Brightening and Tightening Face Mask

Ingredients

• 1 Egg White
• 1/2 T. Raw Honey
• 1/2 T. Fresh Lemon Juice

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in a deep bowl. Whip briskly with a fork or whisk until foamy, 1-2 minutes.
2. Wash and dry your face, and then, using your fingers or a small brush, spread the mixture over your entire face, avoiding the eye area. I like to spread it on as thickly as possible without it dripping.
3. Leave the mask on for 30 minutes, or until it has completely dried and feels tight on your skin.
4. Rinse the mask off with warm water, using a washcloth to gently wipe the mask away.
5. Splash your face with very cold water and gently pat dry.

HOMEMADE TEDDY GRAHAMS

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2-1/2 tablespoons honey
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• Dash of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• About 1/4 cup water or milk (we did half water, half milk)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and spray lightly with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the honey, vanilla, butter and water/milk together. In another bowl, stir the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and pumpkin pie spice together. Make a well in the center of the flour and stir the mixture to combine.
3. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Using a mini teddy bear cookie cutter (we used thesmallest one in this package) stamp out shapes (you'll get about 45 to 50 bears).
4. Place the teddy grahams on the parchment paper and bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.
