Cucumber Cure All


Who says that diamonds are really a girl's best friend? Come on, most of us don't have tons of money and tons of diamonds. The only things they do are make you want more diamonds and make you lose your money!


Now, cucumbers, they are a girl's real best friend!  The best thing about em is that they only cause you to lose  WRINKLES and DARK EYE CIRCLES! Hello! It's one of the best one dollar bills a girl could ever spend!


It's not a new discovery, but sometimes I think we can over complicate how easy it can be to find time to relax and still manage some beauty rest.

If you're having a long day at work or a restless day with the kids, hop in the tub or just lay back and place some sliced cucumbers over your eyes!

After a week or so, those overly tired, puffy eyes will be back to full bloom! Its almost an instant stress reliever too. The fresh smell just has a way of rejuvenating your body, but keeps you calm and relaxed too.



It only takes a minute to slice a cucumber, plop em on your eyes, and lay back for some R&R.  It's amazing how God created such a simple yet complex food that is cheap (straight from the garden!), healthy-packed with nutrients, and has no harsh chemicals added! Thanks God :)

I was happily reminded of this old trick when my daughter climbed up onto a chair towards the counter and snagged my sliced cucumber snacks! If I had only remembered this trick when I spend long nights awake nursing or calming a crying baby!

Love the new look on your blog, MacKenzie! That's a great idea about the cucumbers - God is so cool. I'll have to make sure they're on the next shopping list!
