My favorite winter mask- Honey spice delight

Winters make even my super oily skin dry- its a combination of factors- the weather, the heater. lack of moisture. This is the mask I love to apply in the winter and it helps with acne and scars too- try it out and let me know

1and half teaspoons raw organic honey                                               
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
a pinch of clove powder

Heat the honey in the microwave for 5 to 7 seconds ( to make it softer, otherwise raw honey is solid)
mix in the powders and apply on cleansed skin.
Leave it on for 15 to 20 mins.
Wash with lukewarm water and then splash with cold water.
Tone and moisturize
And voila- glowing clear skin

You can use this mask as often as you want
Anyone has anymore honey recipes? do post them as a comment..

Quick healthy breakfast option

Here is a quick breakfast option that you can prepare the previous night and consume in the morning, I usually make it in the morning though.

you will need-
1/4 cup yogurt ( plain, flavoured, whatever u please)
1/4 cup quick cooking oats
1 teaspoon raw honey
quarter of an apple diced
some walnuts

Mix all these together, you can vary the proportions as you please...tastes delicious and its healthy too :)
