Easy DIY: The Overly Moisturizing Foot Cream

You have Crisco. Or some form of shortening. You probably do. Did you know you can wipe that stuff on your feet for a super moisturizing cream? But of course you want to make it pretty and stuff! Let's make a Spiced Moisturizing Foot Cream.

Here's what you'll need:

-Some Shortening or Crisco (1/4 cup). I've used both and they're pretty much the same.

-Some powdered cinnamon and nutmeg (2:1 of preferred spice).
-A teaspoon of shea butter.

-(Optional) Two Vitamin E gel capsules.

Let's make a moisturizer:

1. Start off by mixing your Crisco and shea butter together to get it smooth. You can do this by hand or you can put it in the blender to kind of whip it.
2. Next add a couple of shakes of cinnamon and nutmeg. Your number of shakes should be a 2:1 ratio of your desired spice. If you want more cinnamon, then add twice as much cinnamon than nutmeg and vice versa if you want more nutmeg.
3. You can stop here and put it into a container (a nice little jar for a stupid cute look) or you can get your vitaE gels and pour a couple of them into the mix. I like to add a ton of them but I'd be careful with this mix since it's already heavily oily (it's got a feel like a smooth coco butter).

More Notes/Tips:

Now all that's left to do is to slather some on your feet before bed, put some socks on, and sleep away. Or if you have insanely dry or ashy skin, this could work for you. It's a bit slippery but it does its job incredibly well.

Recipe: Mediterranean Tuna Wrap

I got this amazingly easy recipe from OneHundredDollarsaMonth.com because food that burns more calories to make than the calories actually in the dish is just not worth it. Here's the original post.

Ingredients:

• 1 small can tuna fish. I used tuna in oil.
• 1 flavored tortilla
• Some fresh baby spinach leaves
• 2 tablespoons feta cheese
• 8-10 cucumber slices. (Not a cucumber fan so I left these out).
• 3 tablespoons of chopped roasted red peppers
• 2 oil packed, sun dried tomatoes, cut into strips
• 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette

Step 1: Lay out la tortilla and just kinda place things how you think you'll like it.

A quick note: I played around with this recipe a little and found that canned chicken breast is a nice replacement if tuna is just not up your ally. So, like always, don't be afraid to get funky with your ingredients if a sudden burst of creativity demands that you do so.

Recipe: Super Easy Banana Shake

Do you love bananas? No? Then leave. But if you do, here's a mind-numblingly easy banana milk shake you can make in the mornings or when ever. Just make sure you're near a blender!


Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 medium sized bananas (7") - I generally have organic bananas sitting around the kitchen. If you don't, any banana will work, just make sure it's the rightbananas
• 5-8oz of milk
• about 1/2 a cup of ice
• Some sugar (3 teaspoons)

A quick note: None of these measurements are very specific. You can add as much of either as you want. You can even throw in another banana if you like. For sugar, I added two teaspoons because I like things sweet but some don't so they may add less. It's all up to you!

Step one: Throw it all in the blender, mix until you get a consistency you like and drink away!
You can also opt to throw out the ice and enjoy some banana milk (super delicious!).
