Mirror, Mirror at the Spa... Yes!
I got chosen to host some of my best girls for a spa and pamper me party with a Mirror, Mirror theme! Since I'm not home, I'm going to be hosting the party at my sister's house!
Beyond watching this season's hottest DVD release, we're going to pamper ourselves... I've got plans for mani/pedis and also will have a supply of some great homemade recipes... like these great suggestions from my party sponsors:
Reduce Those Evil Wrinkles
The queen hated her
“crinkles” so she turned to home remedies to help minimize them. We suggest
cutting seedless grapes,
then crushing them to apply to face and neck. Repeat daily. The antioxidant properties
of the grapes remove pesky ‘crinkles!’
Snow
White Eyes
Green tea contains
antioxidants and placing a damp green
tea under each eye can sooth tired eyes and reduce bags and dark
circles. Adding cucumber slices or grated potatoes over closed eyes will also
reduce puffy-looking skin. Leave it on for about 10 minutes and poof,
magically, clear and whiter eyes!
Whiter Teeth
For a quick and easy way to
brighten your smile, mash a few
strawberries in a bowl and add ½ teaspoon of baking soda. Coat
teeth with the mix and leave for five minutes. The malic acid acts as an
astringent and removes stains. Be wise not too use too often (an evil queen
trait) because regular use could damage your tooth enamel. Brush again with
normal toothpaste to remove the mix. Happy smiles!
Shiny Hair
To get Snow White’s shiny and
smooth hair, condition your hair by heating a ½ cup of mayonnaise and a mushed banana in the microwave for about
10 seconds. Apply to dry hair and cover with a plastic bag. Leave the mixture
on your hair for 20 minutes. Remove the plastic bag and rinse your hair with
warm water then shampoo as normal.
Cleansing
Skimmed milk powder makes a
great face wash as it gently exfoliates
your skin and leaves it soft. This is suitable for all skin types
and is likely Snow White’s favorite cleansing method!

I also plan to make a homemade salt hand scrub that is a wonderful way to start our mani-pedis!
I haven't figured out what I'll be serving to eat and drink... if you have suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
