I’m not a huge fan of healthy breakfasts, but given the choice of oatmeal, multi-bran flakes or Grape Nuts, I’ll stick with cold pizza. So what’s a girl to do when she has a bunch of oatmeal in the back of her cupboard she had every intention of eating, but never got ‘round to? It’s time for an all-natural (and practically free) oatmeal facial. You can whip up this beauty treatment faster than you can say Botox, and have skin that’s so soft and glowing, you’ll look like you just had a quickie. So let’s go with that, and call it

Quickie Oatmeal Facial

Just make some oatmeal according to the package directions (instant or regular, it doesn’t matter) and set it aside. Wash your face with a warm washcloth to get rid of any gunk on your skin and open up your pores. Massage the oatmeal onto your face while growling and making monster faces in the mirror. Take a picture and text it to your boyfriend saying “Who says I never send you sexy pictures?” After 5 minutes, or when you can’t stand it anymore – or after your boyfriend breaks up with you via text, rinse it off. Now it’s time to moisturize and I recommend using a little olive oil. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s all-natural and if it's good for Cesar salad, it's good for your skin.

The kitchen is a great place to find products that make us girls look and feel great. Personally, I never feel more attractive than when I’m sitting in front of a steaming hot 5-cheese lasagna, but that’s just me. I’m grateful for homemade beauty treatments because we don’t have to spend a ton of money to be pretty, make our co-workers think we just had sex and terrorize our boyfriends.

That’s why I’m grateful for homemade beauty treatments.
