Since December, I went on a Gym kick (40 minutes of cardio and strength training 3-4 times a week) and have been committed ever since. And anyone who works an honest living and goes to the gym regularly knows: work + work out + shower = one tired and cranky girl.
Most times I don't even want to think about cooking--let alone blogging about it. Often I'm so tired I don't even bother to eat with utensils. Rice, veggies, whatever--just get in my mouth and replenish me!
I'm still trying to find my balance between eat to live and live to eat but one thing's for sure: if you want to eat as much fried chicken as I do--working out regularly is a must.
I don't know how much weight I've lost/gained because I don't own a scale (and sometimes wish I didn't own a mirror) but I can definitely tell that I look a hell of a lot healthier. And more importantly--I feel a lot better.
You know, a way to make a tired and cranky girl feel appreciated? A natural face mask. There are loads of recipes available on the internet but I discovered some real gems.
Egg Face Mask
A basic mask great for re-hydrating your skin after laps in the pool. The Egg white draws out the oils in your skin and the yolk moisturizes.
Ingredients
* 1 Egg
Preparation
Wash and dry face. Separate the Egg white and yolk. First, with the Egg white spread it across you face and neck with your fingers, cotton pad, brush or spatula. Avoid Eye and mouth areas. Lie down and relax until the wash has hardened. Wash Egg white off your face and pat your face dry.
Second, spread the yolk the same way you applied the whites (you may want to scramble the yolk a bit). Lie down and relax until the mask hardens. Wash yolk off with a wash cloth and warm water. End with a slash of cold water and pat your skin dry with a towel. To seal in the moisture, add your face cream/moisturizer.
