My Face Mask

Even though it is supposed to be summer here in New Zealand, the weather is yet again, dull, rainy and windy. So even though I am on holiday at the lake I had to find something to do this afternoon that didn't involve going outside. I decided to try a homemade facemask. After googling some recipes I found one for oily, acne prone skin which (unfortunately) is the one for me.

The recipe:


1/4 cup of mashed (fresh) strawberries
1/4 cup of sour cream or natural unflavoured yoghurt


Leave on for 10-15 minutes

The face mask was really quick and easy to make. I used sour cream and I found it worked really well! As both ingredients came out of the fridge, the mask felt cool and fresh on your skin. It really tightens and tones the skin for a clearer and brighter appearance. The mask smelt and looked really appealing and I would recommend trying it!

P.S. - I made this

I came across this website after first discovering the book 'P.S. - I made this' which was born from Erica Domesek's website of the same name. This website is very professional looking, easy to read, well set out and the DIY projects themselves look very unique and quirky. The instructions which are step by step and easy to follow are featured alongside inspirational fashion montages to the theme of each project. The only thing I would have to complain about, is that several of the projects I found were very impracticle and tacky. However the motto behind both the book and the website, 'I see it. I like it. I make it.' was what really sparked my interest and has inspired me to continue attempting to make things I like the look of.  The book showcases over 25 projects inspired by iconic looks and runway trends.
