Makeup Monday: DIY Ice Cucumber Pads

Happy Mother's Day!  Hope everyone had a wonderful day with their mothers and/or kids!  Mother's Day was yesterday for me and it was awesome!  It felt so good to sleep in for a bit!  But then Joey informed me that even though it was Mother's Day, I still had to get up and get dressed so we could go and eat.  Buzz kill.

Anyway, I also got a super awesome dress from Joey!  I had been wanting this dress for the past 2 weeks now so I was so happy that I got it and was able to wear it all day long!  Yeah, I even wore it to the park and flew kites in it.  It's just so darn amazing that I didn't want to take it off!  You can bet that I'll be wearing it again on Wednesday just to post it for you guys!

I'm gonna keep today's post a little short because I'm still pretty tired from our whole day of fun yesterday, my workout last night KILLED me, and I have a boatload of homework to finish by Wednesday that I haven't even started on yet!

So because I'm so tired I've decided to share a little DIY/Homemade recipe with you that will help you with those puffy eyes in the mornings!  I never get enough sleep (c'mon what human really does these days) and battling those dark circles and puffy eyes every morning can be a pain.  Luckily, I stumbled across this little DIY from Michelle Phan and my eyes love it.


Ice Cucumber Pads

All you need is cucumber juice - this can be made in a juicer or a blender, cotton pads, and a ziploc bag. 

Soak the cotton pads in the cucumber juice, squeeze out the excess, lay them flat in a ziploc bag, and freeze!  Simple, easy, and so refreshing for your eyes. 

So when you get up in the morning, take 2 pads out and let them thaw for a little bit (maybe while you shower), pop them on your eyes for about 10 minutes, and voila!  Your eyes will feel much more awake and hydrated!

Now go on and start juicing those cucumbers tonight for a refreshing start in the morning!  I'm going to finish my work and then get started on my homework!
