💕😌 2024 Masking Challenge 😌💖

[eshoe]

Welcome to the 2024 Masking Challenge! 

This year is going to be a little different - simplified. Easy. Every month will have a new theme, and that's it. Feel free to join in whenever and wherever. Most importantly - have fun!

Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights 💮

January	Fresh Starts - Time for a re-set, or morning masking? However you see it, this month is all about new beginnings.
February	Winter Love - Whether it's a mask you adore, or something extra-special to care for dry winter skin, this month is for some soothing TLC.
March	March Madness - Competition is in the air! Find a $ dupe of a $$$ mask that is share-worthy? Or find a dupe that works even better than the original? Details, please!
April	Spring Fling - Baskets and bouquets, showers of much-anticipated rain...this month's focus is herbal and floral sensory delights.
May	Dew Drops - May Day lore says to wash your face in the dew you collect in the morning of the first day of May for radiant skin. This month is for absorbing all of that good-for-you H2O.
June	Summer Sunshine - Ice cream, sunglasses, SPF, check! Once the sun is down (or before it's up), extra care is most necessary. How do you give your skin cooling repair?

Thank you @Aaliaa for starting this thread, and giving us a place to share our love for masks💗

Lol.... well if you're gonna do two-a-days I really can't back down now @itsfi .  I found that when I was trying to do two sheet masks a day I ended up failing a bit, then I felt bad that I'd failed... so I adjusted for December and am committing to two masks, be it body, eye, wash off or sheet.  I'm doing MUCH better at this system! lol.

Okay... the farmskin.... I totally thought this an oatmeal cup!!  I'm going to be curious how the others turn out for you.  I'm wondering if the flaking will be a running issue.  And yes, they look waaaay better than the creepy Dr. Jart.... which you've just pushed me to use tomorrow; I thank you for the shove.  

[Shosh85]

@missjeanie  Haha! When I saw the clay mask I thought it was ice cream! 😂 @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Oooh, ice cream!!! Even though it's very chilly outside today, I like the sound of that! @Shosh85 @missjeanie 

Hmmm... which one shall I have for breakfast?

[missjeanie]

@itsfi  I'm with @Shosh85 ... both!

I wonder if I have any ice cream..... 

[itsfi]

If you and @Shosh85 are on Team coffee + ice cream, it seems to me that's the way to go @missjeanie! 😉 One way to find out if you have ice cream, missjeanie...

And, if you don't, there's a way to fix that. 🤣

[missjeanie]

lol @itsfi I found some strawberry in my fridge freezer... Gonna need to check out the deep freeze to see if I have something more coffee compatiable!

[itsfi]

hmmmm... 🤔 well @missjeanie, off the top of my head, I'm thinking, a slice of chocolate cake, with chocolate sauce (could be warmed) lightly drizzled over a scoop of the strawberry ice cream and topped with a sprig of basil. A spoon and a cup of coffee or espresso to make it complete. 😉😋😍 

[missjeanie]

@itsfi ummm... well that sounds divine.  I won't lie... I just dug into the carton with a spoon.  lol I found a pint of lemon ice cream in the deep freeze... and now I'm thinking brownie sundae... oh man... too many goodies of late, I need to pause at least till dinner lol

[itsfi]

Oooouh, lemon ice cream @missjeanie? I've had lemon sorbet but never lemon ice cream. 🍋🍨 Hmmm, going to have to look into that. I typically love lemon flavored treats so it sounds delicious! 

[missjeanie]

@itsfi both the lemon and strawberry have now been consumed.  It was a good weekend lol.  Gonna try to hold off on the goodies til the weekend now.  Salad... why doesn't this thread ever make me want salads? lol

[itsfi]

Atta girl @missjeanie! 😁👊👍

"Salad... why doesn't this thread ever make me want salads?" 😅 I take it you don't mean fruit salad or jello salad. Fine. Challenge accepted. I'll try to come up with something next year. That'll give my little noggin some time to think about it.

[missjeanie]

lol @itsfi Fruit salad I think we're good on... we get lots of fun fruity masks that make me want all the summer fruits!  Never have I seen a spinach salad mask that made me rush out to grab a bag of spinach though lol!  

[Shosh85]

@itsfi  I say both! Haha! The ice cream can be an after-breakfast dessert! 😆

[itsfi]

You always steer me in the right direction @Shosh85! 🤗 Both, it is. 😆 Maybe the oatmeal, a piece of fruit and I'll add some ice cream to my coffee. Nothing like an affogato to start the day; though technically, it's not my first cup of coffee this morning. lol. @missjeanie 

[missjeanie]

@itsfi  Wait.... I like how this has evolved.... I happen to have some cold brew coffee.... I'm thinking coffee float now... K gotta remove a mask but I'm digging the evolution this morning.

[itsfi]

Ohhh, cold brew, @missjeanie?! Yuuuum!  😋  I like the sound of coffee float. I think I can squeeze that in here sometime today. Speaking of masks, I'm behind. 

[Shosh85]

@itsfi @missjeanie  My husband likes to make cold brew milkshakes and they are sooo good! He usually uses a mocha flavored cold brew, so it also tastes a little chocolatey too - sorta like a Frosty with coffee  😋 ☕️🍦🍫

[missjeanie]

ummmm... that sounds amazing @Shosh85 .  I need to get back into the states to start picking up 'keto' ice cream again... all this Haagen daas is killing my waist line.  Now I also want a shake.  dang it. Now I'm torn between a chocolate shake and brownie with ice cream sundae.  

[itsfi]

Why do you need to pick one @missjeanie? @Shosh85 😂🤣😂

[missjeanie]

lol... @itsfi @Shosh85 under normal circumstances I'd be the first one to roll up with both!  However... I've been sweets binging a lot lately.  I swear I actually craved a vegetable yesterday! I'm going to try to hold off now that I've finished the ice cream in the house... until the weekend.  5 days.  We'll see how the willpower holds out.  Chocolate mint ice cream has been added to my grocery cart online for shakes this coming weekend. 

[itsfi]

@missjeanie @Shosh85 "Veg-gies! Veg-gies! Veg-gies!!!!" 

You got this, missjeanie! I have confidence in you!
