    We don’t drink any sort of Alcohol drinks at home & we always try out something new every time we have some get together at home. The hot chocolate with cinnamon is something I would want to try right away & the Winter Lemonade sounds great as well.

    I like to put chili powder in my hot chocolate, too. I was always taught that’s the best way to make Mexican Hot Chocolate. I’ve never tried making my own chai, though, and I love it – so I should give that one a whirl

Siri, remove my makeup...Siri, are you there?!!!

Ok, so that is not possible yet. 😂 But dang, you guys know I love trying new masks and peels. And after I removed my makeup, I tried out this AHAVA PURIFYING MUD Mask. 

No fillers, no fluff, no surprises in this product.  It's vegan and paraben free.  It feels so light on the skin and when it dries it almost feels like you can feel the goodness soak into your skin.  You only leave it on for two minutes and then wash it off. My skin felt so fresh and clean after this mask. Then, I applied the Ahava moisturizer and my skin felt so nice. 

If you want to try this mask or moisturizer for yourself or if you want to check out their other products, check out their website and use the code:  YOUR30 for 30% off site wide.  No need to thank me! Treat yourself, yo.
