Created by beauty guru and parenting expert Erika Katz (www.bondingoverbeauty.com), this mask is full of exfoliating enzymes that brighten the skin so it won’t look too “scary” this fall season.

Erika is a mother of two and the author of Bonding over Beauty, A Mother-Daughter Beauty Guide to Foster Self-Esteem, Confidence and Trust. Erika wrote this guide for mothers and teenagers because she realized that as young girls head toward the teen years, mothers suddenly seem out of touch. In this down-to-earth guide for moms of tweens, Erika Katz offers practical advice for building self-esteem, confidence, and trust by teaching moms how to open up a dialogue during the often awkward preteen and early teen years.

PUMPKIN FACE MASK RECIPE:

2 tsp canned pureed pumpkin
1/2 tsp honey
1/4 tsp heavy whipping cream

Mix all ingredients and apply to face. Leave on for 10 min and rinse.

HOW IT HELPS YOUR SKIN:

Pumpkin is rich in vitamin A, which is very healing to the skin and is essential to maintain and repair skin tissue. It also helps reduce lines and wrinkles. Honey is a humectant. The cream moisturizes and helps flaky skin.

I don’t know about you, but the ingredients sound like something I’d want to eat with a spoon!

Your friends at fasttrackfundraising.com have a great suggestion – online magazine sales! Fasttrack Fundraising gives non profit organizations an easy and convenient way to sell a product without having to hand out catalogs or forms, add up orders, or collect any money!

I don’t personally know anyone who doesn’t subscribe to at least one magazine. Non profit organizations can create their own magazine fundraisers and earn a percentage of the sales on a product most people pay full price for anyway! It’s a heck of a lot easier than a bake sale or a car wash :)

If selling magazines doesn’t sound like the right product for your group, there are lots more great fundraising ideas for non profits, like selling popcorn, scented pencils, lollipops, even beef jerky! Register your non profit organization and get started on achieving your fundraising goals today!
