Spring Break


Every teacher in the world loves Spring Break. Shoot we all loved it as students and I'm sure no one would complain about a week off of work. Do not be fooled, I don't really have a week off. I'm a coach, a track coach. I will be going to a track meet tomorrow. 

I haven't let the fact that I have to work stop me from getting some things done 

Piece one stained
Piece two stained and drying 

And I painted this for my nephew. My  husband made it I painted. I don't typically work with saws. 
Now I have anniversary gift to work on and a gallery wall to finish. 

But first here is a picture of the momogram I made

The best acne treatment ever

Allow me to be candid for awhile. Coming back from Spring Break is tough, I'm exhausted, stressed and I gotta keep going. This combined with the extreme winter we have had have really done a number on my skin. I mean I think I have more pimples than my teenage students. Oh wait I can call them "blemishes" now, right? Anyway they are annoying, even more annoying than when I was 17. 

Luckily, I have found an acne treatment that works!! It's all natural, super cheap, has not dried my skin out yet. It also smells good and my darling husband says it also tastes good. So here it is...

2 parts honey
1 part nutmeg 
1 part cinnamon

This is no secret, in fact it's all over the Internet, but unlike most things on the Internet this is true. This stuff cleared up my face in 3 days. I have found that it is not a cure, those nasty little bumps will come back, but if used regularly it works great. 

I'm not really into beauty products, but I am into not looking like a teenager. Hope it works for you. 

It's not pretty and it is really sticky, but it works like a charm!!
