"Mom, I need some honey," my eleven-year-old daughter said.
"Why?" I asked.
"You'll see."
I figured she was going to conduct some kind of scientific experiment. I gave her the honey and went off to do my business.
Ten minutes later, she and my son waltzed into the room and stood next to me. They had a big grin plastered on each of their faces. And something else.
"What the heck is on your face?" I asked my daughter.
"Honey. And sugar. And vitamin E capsules."
"Seriously?"
"Yeah, mom. It's a face mask, and it's going to make our faces really soft."
Just then, our German Shepherd Schultz joined the party. He sat down and cocked his head. His big old nose started sniffing.
"I think he wants to eat your face masks," I said.
My kids' eyes got big. They screamed and took off. And Schultz charged after them.
So much for the face mask!
Food face masks can be effective. Perhaps the kids are on the right track. I don't know about Vit.E om the face. It's great for burns (stops the pain).
ReplyDeleteHowever, egg white masks, avocado masks and oatmeal scrubs do work. I didn't like the honey one unless it's mixed with yogurt. I tried these years ago, too.
Hubs used to say 'Ooga Booga' when he saw me with food masks on. All I needed was a bone in the hair.
Ha! I've heard of a lot of food masks. I've never personally tried them. Did any of them work?
DeleteThat was the first thing I thought of - - Schultz is going to want to lick their faces off!!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Honey! You're a lot braver than I am. ;)
ReplyDeleteNo. I'm just crazy. What mom in her right mind would give her kids honey and walk away? LOL!
DeleteHa! My teen just used six eggs the other night on some kind of concoction for her hair.
ReplyDeleteEwww! I'm glad my daughter hasn't thought of that...yet!
DeleteFunny! That will teach them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe. LOL!
Deletehaha moving snacks, at least Schultz will get some exercise before eating.
ReplyDeleteFast food!
DeleteWell at least they didn't try to make the face mask from hamburger....then Schultz would have -really- been going after them :)
ReplyDeleteHa! That would've been hilarious!
DeleteWow! I bet it took some work to get that sticky honey off their faces. Do they have fabulous skin now? Maybe you'll make a fortune marketing this new beauty product.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
It did take a while, and they do have fabulous skin, but I'm not sure the honey is entirely responsible for that. :)
DeleteI love reading the antics of your children and dog.
ReplyDeleteHappy days.
Yvonne.
They are entertaining!
DeleteKids and dogs - that'll keep us laughing every time! :)
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do!
Delete*LOL* Did Schultz catch them? I want to see the ending!
ReplyDeleteHa! No, they escaped into the bathroom and scrubbed their faces before Schultz licked them to death. :)
DeletePricless. I imagined humgeous eyes bulging and Shultz licking his chops. :-)
ReplyDeleteSchultz thought he was going to get a tasty snack!
DeleteFast food!
ReplyDeleteHa! Yes, literally!
Deletethats great! wonder where they found the recipe!
ReplyDeleteand i like the snow war post too. a cat snow warrior? ha!
Who knows. My daughter comes up with all kinds of crazy things like that!
DeleteTell them mayo iworks tooo...or is that good for the hair. lol. I hope Schultz didn't catch them!
ReplyDelete"mayo works too"
ReplyDeleteI'll keep that in mind. :)
DeleteFunny! I have tried face masks on my daughter to control her acne. My idea, not hers. Your kids are so inventive.

Maybe she should try honey with dog slobber. ;)
DeleteHaha! Funnily enough, I think my mom would have loved it if I tried to do something similar as a kid. Even now she tries to get me to try face masks, and I'm just like...no, please! XD
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny!
DeleteAt least they didn't try the honey face mask on Schultz. Talk about a mess! : )
