Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

Extra Cucumbers In The Garden?


Make a Cucumber and Yogurt Mask! If you want happy skin, then cucumber is the answer. Did you realize that cucumber and your skin share the same level of hydrogen? It helps in soothing and softening and does wonders in reducing puffiness around your eye area.

Due to its cooling effect it can be termed as a magic wand for all of your skin problems.

This mask is great for combination skin:
1/2 cucumber
1 tbsp plain/natural yogurt

Puree the cucumber in a blender. Mix in the yogurt. Apply all over face and neck. Relax for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then follow with a splash of cold water.

Cucumber Lotion
To make a wonderful skin lotion:
Mix one tablespoon each of cucumber juice and milk and a few drops of rose water. Apply on the face and neck. Remove after 15 minutes. This makes an excellent whitener for delicate skins.
