Review: Erno Laszlo Facial Soap Bars

   Hey guy's, so today I'm going to be doing a review of the Erno Laszlo facial soap bars. Created by a French dermatologist, Dr. Erno Laszlo. They have a soap for virtually every skin type. These soaps have been used by many celebrities including Mariyln Manroe, and Jackie Kennedy. 
   I have used to Black Sea Mud bar, and the HydrapHel cleansing bar. 
   The Black Sea Mud soap is one of the most popular of their soaps. It is made for normal to oily skin types. This soap is an overall great cleanser. The ingredients for this soap are imported from the dead sea.I saw my pores shrink very soon after using it. It leaves skin incredibly soft and smooth looking. I loved this soap but, I do have a more dry skin type. I felt my skin was drying out, so I tried out the HydrapHel bar. Although,this soap did not work for me, I know people who use and love it.
   So, I tried to HydrapHel cleansing bar, it is marketed for extremely dry skin types. This soap worked wonderful for me. It is a non-soap bar. This allows it to hydrate skin better. This soap is great for sensitive skin. After I used the bar my face felt very clean and soft, a combination I have found hard to find in face soap. 
   Erno Laszlo recommends a splashing technique; first to fill a bowl with warm water. Then dip your bar into the water, soap up the water a bit. Next rub the bar onto your face. When your done, splash your face 20 times with the water from the bowl. After that, rinse 10 times with clean water, And pat dry. 
   This process does take time, but I found my skin glows when I do it.

Yard Sale Finds: Yellow Lamp

Hey, So I just went yard sale'ing yesterday. I found a few things but the one I was most excited about was: this old 70s looking yellow lamp.

I plan to give it a bit of a makeover! 
First I painted the base and the top of the lamp white. I wanted to cover up the brass metal. I am going to paint it a coral. All done.....
PS. I have another Yard Sale finds coming that I'm very excited about. Hope Ya'll have a wonderful day!

Yummy Easter Treat: Birds Nests

   Hey Yall' Since tomorrow is Easter, I Thought these would be fun! I don't know if any of you remember these from being little, but I do. So when I saw these again I had to try them. So this is what we'll be makin'.
   
First, you'll need this;
5oz of Chow Mein noodles
11oz of Butterscotch chips
Egg Shaped Candies 


You'll also need:
Cupcake pan w/ liners
Large sauce pan
2 large mixing bowls
Spatula


   Have the Chow Mein noodles in a large bowl, so that once your butterscotch is ready it will not harden. 
   Create a double boiler by heating a few inches of water in a large sauce pan. Then place the second large bowl on top. Pour in the chips and continually stir so they don't get burned. It will look like this when its done.(and it will smell amazing!)
   Mix, the Butterscotch into the noodles until well combined. 
 Using a spoon fill the cupcake pan, press down to form it to the pan. This can be a fun job for young kids it will be messy but still fun. Fill the cups half way full. Go ahead and place 3 candies on the top. Do it right after you make each cup so that the mix is a bit gooey, that way it will hold the candies better once it hardens. 

Let the treats set for a while. Then pull them out of the cupcake pan and unwrap. Enjoy!
