Conscious Craver Global Beauty

I know. It’s been a while since we’ve written anything on our blog. You’ve got to forgive us we are busy ladies. Most recently we supported the East New York food co-op’s annual health fair. The event was a blast, complete with healthy grilled items, a clown and of course the Conscious Cravers. We did one of our new workshops called Conscious Craver Global Beauty where folks at the event learned how to make homemade spa products from common household foods. People were amazed at how effective some sugar and olive oil can be to smooth, soften and sparkle rough dry skin. Folks also wondered why they never knew the toning, pore-closing effects mashed avocado, olive oil and a touch of lemon can have on the delicate skin of the face. Scroll down for a recipe from this workshop!

Other exciting news, Ludie and I are getting really close to finishing the design of our website. We’ve been working with an amazing woman photographer, Carucha L Meuse, who took the pictures that will color the feel of our website. She’s done a great job!

Be well and eat well,

Green-Being Avocado Mask
makes enough for you and a friend


1 ripe avocado
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil

Slice the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit by gently tapping your knife into the seed twisting slightly and pulling upward. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice and olive oil. Using the back of your spoon, or a masher, mash the avocado until it becomes creamy. It's o.k if there are a few lumps. Using your fingers, spread the mixture onto your face and neck. Allow it to dry. Remove by splashing your face with warm water and gently rubbing your face with a washcloth or your hands. Finish by massaging a touch of olive oil onto your face. Look at you glow!!!
