Moisturizer for Toning & Tightening Facial Skin

 This is supposed to be a miracle skin treatment, tightening and toning the skin of the face. I don't know if it does or not but I use it, and because each little batch lasts so long (I only apply a couple drops to my face in the mornings), I always have to find the recipe somewhere on the internet. Finally I'm getting around to including it here so I'll know where it is. 

1 ounce castor oil

1 ounce jojoba oil

10 drops frankincense essential oil

Apply sparingly. 

I put on only a few drops after washing my face in the mornings, and apply a different lotion in the evenings after washing my face before bed.

Cucumber Salad

 Recipes that don't provide actual measurements are never my favourites, as I'm bound to overdo the ingredients, but this one made an excellent salad, even if I had to do some guesswork.

-seedless cucumbers, cut up as you wish
-dressing: apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, kosher salt, whisked together
-mix-ins: red pepper flakes for heat, 2 tablespoons minced onion, fresh dill, sesame seeds, celery seeds, or any fresh herbs. Take your pick.
-can add shredded carrots, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, blueberries
-any dressing will do: lemon vinaigrette or poppy seed, crumbled feta cheese, parmesan cheese, chopped nuts, sliced avocado
-for protein, add blackened chicken, sweet chili salmon, or sweet and spicy grilled shrimp

The salad is best served right away.

This was found online and I didn't note the source.
