Homemade peel-off face mask

Alright, I know this isn't food (although I guess you could eat it..), but it is pretty sweet.

I originally found this here, but I thought I would share it with you :)

This recipe starts out at a paste, but after it dries on your face, you will be able to peel it right off. (Be careful, it kind of feels like ripping off a band-aid, but it gets your pores nice and clean!)

All you will need is:

• 1 Tablespoon (or 1 packet) gelatin
• 1 Tablespoon milk (Any kind)

THAT'S IT!

Also, make sure you have a disposable cup, and something to put the goop on your face with (I used a plastic knife) Fingers are great for lots of face scrubs, but unless you want to peel the mask off your fingers for an hour, I suggest using something else.

Step one:

• Mix gelatin and milk together in a disposable cup using a plastic knife until it becomes a paste (A popsicle stick or a chopstick would work if you don't have a plastic knife). It should look a little something like this:

Step two:

• Microwave the mixture for about ten seconds to soften it up (And so you aren't putting a freezing cold goop on your face) Then stir it a little bit after you take it out of the microwave. START APPLYING IMMEDIATLY. Otherwise it will start to dry in the cup, or get too sticky to apply.

Step three:

• Put the mixture all over your face, or wherever you want to put it. Be careful not to put it underneath your eyes where the skin is thin, because it will hurt really bad to peel off (I made that mistake yesterday) Also, try not to get any on your eyebrows or hairline (I made that mistake yesterday as well).

Step four:

• Wait for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mask is dry. (Once it isn't sticky anymore)

Step five:

• Now this is the fun part, peel it off! It hurts a little at first, but not too badly. Once you are all done, wash your face and enjoy your clean pores!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Cupcakes

My two favorite things to put in a dessert~ Peanut butter + Chocolate. 

Best. Combination. EVER.

Iv'e made these cupcakes several times, and I will most definitely make them several more times. They're delicious. And amazing. And delicious. Understand?

Okay, I can tell you right now, I will probably never make a cake from scratch. I won't do it. It's not that I can't, it's just that I won't. I guess I just love the taste of all those lovely preservatives in a box of cake mix. Alright, I won't go that far, but cake is one thing I don't like making from scratch, cause I'm not good at it. (And, hey, maybe I am just a little bit lazy sometimes). Cookies, brownies, anything else, really, I will make.

Now that we've gone over that, I'll tell you what you will need for these cupcakes.

• Chocolate cake mix
• Cake mix ingredients (Oil, water, eggs)
• Peanut Butter
• Reeses peanut butter cups
• 1 1/2 cups Chocolate Chips
• 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Step one (and a half):

• Make the cake batter
• Preheat oven according to cake mix box

Step two:

• Chop up a few of the Reeses cups and mix them into the batter. (I forgot to do this with these cupcakes, but I recommend you add them, otherwise its just plain chocolate cake)
• Make sure to save some of the Reeses to top off the cupcakes.

Step three:

• Line the cupcake pan with papers and fill them about 3/4 full with batter

Step four:

• Bake!

Step five:

After the cupcakes cool, it's time to make the chocolate peanut butter dipping tastiness.

• Put the whipping cream in a sauce pan and heat until boiling
• Put the chocolate chips and about a half cup of peanut butter into a mixing bowl, and pour the hot whipping cream over the chips.
• Whisk the mixture until combined
• Add as much peanut butter as your little heart desires. (My little heart desires a lot of peanut butter)

Step six:

• Dip the tops of the cupcakes in the chocolate, then top them off with Reeses peanut butter cups

Step seven:

• Enjoy!
