Upcycled: From Old and Smelly, to Nice and Fresh!

I really didnt want to spend a bunch of money on ice skates because you only wear them about once a year, but really want to go this winter! So I went on ebay and bought a couple pairs this picture is my husbands (his are a little more vintage than mine). I bought them for Under $20 including shipping which i think is pretty good! They just needed a little love, cleaning, shoe polish and shoelaces!

Kitchen:
Banana Wrinkle Fighter Recipe: This recipe is for supple skin as well as maintaining the skin's natural glow. Banana is also wonderful as an anti-wrinkle treatment.

All you need: Ripe Banana

Banana is wonderful as an anti-wrinkle treatment. Mash 1/4 banana until very creamy. Spread all over face and leave for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water followed by a dash of cold. Gently pat dry.

EXFOLIATION and MASK For FACE and Body
Kitchen:
Facial Exfoliate Recipe

2 heaped tsp fine oatmeal
1 tsp. baking soda
Combine ingredients, and add enough water to make a paste. Apply to skin and rub gently. Rinse and gently pat dry.

FOR BODY
Kitchen:
All you need is to cups of plain yogurt, which contains lactic acid to exfoliate and boost collagen production.

DEEP HAIR CONDITIONER
Kitchen:
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 egg yolk
1 cup water
Beat the egg yolk until its frothy, add the oil then beat again. Add the water. Massage into the scalp and throughout your hair. Rinse well.

Mayonnaise is a great conditioner for dry hair. Depending on the length of your hair, apply approximately 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to your dry hair. Work into hair really well and then cover your hair with a plastic bag, allowing to set for about 15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and then shampoo as usual.

FOOT PREP and PAMPER

A scoop of poppy seeds turns any lotion into a scrub.

Rinse with water and pat dry. Apply some additional lotion for soft feet
