Pretty Little Pumpkin

A couple of years ago there was some freak pumpkin puree shortage, and I was so scarred by the idea that I wouldn’t have enough of my favorite fall treat that I now compulsively stock up on cans as soon as fall arrives. Of course we never use them all so I end up with a little pumpkin stockpile. Lucky for me pumpkin makes a fantastic facial mask, and with holiday parties and late nights in our future we could use a quick remedy to bring the holiday glow back to our cheeks!

Mix 2 parts pumpkin puree (fresh or canned) with 1 part full fat Greek yogurt. Add a touch of honey. Immediately spread on a clean, dry face. Relax for 20 minutes, rinse, take a peek in the mirror at your bright, glowy complexion!

    I remember the great pumpkin shortage – it was extremely distressing, since I live solely on pumpkin pie and coffee from about October through December every year.
