Why don't you...whip up a face mask.
I got this mask from Martha Stewart's magazine. The recipe comes from Elena Arboleda, salon director at Mario Badescu Skin Care. I have done it a couple times and love the soft, brightening effect it has on my skin. Egg white's high protein content and Lysozyme enzyme help tighten pores and hide wrinkles giving skin a smoother look. Honey is a natural moisturizer that attracts water into the skin. Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamins making it highly effective at neutralizing damaging free radicals and delaying the signs of aging. Lemon juice contains enzymes which help exfoliate and tone skin.
Whisk together:
1 egg white
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Smooth on a thin layer from the hairline down to the decolletage and let sit 15 minutes. Wash away with cool water, pat dry and apply your favorite moisturizer. Easy.

Why don't you...jazz up your keys.
How adorable and easy is this!?!
step 1 was to apply good ole Elmers Glue to the key. Step 2 Shake glitter onto key. Let dry for a hour. Repeat steps 1 &2 for the back side of the key One might ask, how do you keep the glitter from coming off the key? SEAL it with nail polish top coat sealer!

Why don't you...try an all-natural diy face mask
These masks are from Kate Sommerville's Complexion Perfection, a very comprehensive book on skincare. Great read if your goal is achieving clear, glowing skin.
Honey mask: Honey is a great hydrator, so it will attract water to your skin cells and then lock it in. Honey also has antimicrobial properties, so it's great for all sin types, especially the acne prone or dry.
Take a spoon of honey and massage it onto your clean skin. Leave the honey mask on for about ten minutes and then rinse with warm water. Your skin will feel so soft and smooth.
Brewer's-yeast mask: This is great for oily skin, particularly for congestion or clogged pores. If you have combination skin, however, avoid the dry areas of your face.
Warm two teaspoons of water in the microwave in a small bowl. Add a packet of dry brewer's yeast to the warm water and mix it up. You'll want the mask to be about the same consistency or thickness of peanut butter; once it is, massage onto the skin. Leave it on for about ten minutes or until completely dry. You'll notice really clear skin and tight pores. But beware: this is pretty stinky!
Egg-white mask: Egg whites are high in vitamin A and are effective for drying blemishes and for overall toning and tightening of the complexion. Suitable for all skin types, we even do a version of this mask at the clinic.
Separate one egg white into a bowl and stir slightly. With a brush or a cotton pad, apply the egg white onto your face. Allow it to dry, which should take about ten minutes, and then wash if off with warm water.
