Make Your Own Mother's Day Crafts

None

Can anything beat homemade gifts made with love? Celebrate Mother’s Day by creating a hydrating face mask and daffodils that will never wilt – a sure way to make Mom’s day!

Hydrating Egg White Face Masks

What you need:

- 1 Naturegg Nestlaid shell egg (white separated from yolk) or 3 tablespoons of Naturegg Simply Egg Whites

- 1/4 ripe avocado

- 1 teaspoon yogurt

Directions:

1. Using a fork, mash the avocado until smooth.

2. Add the egg white and yogurt and mix well.

3. Pour the mixture into the container.

4. To use, apply a thick coat onto your face with clean hands and let it sit for about 15 minutes.

5. Wash off the mask with lukewarm water when the time is up, and pat your face dry with a towel. Enjoy the look of your freshly moisturized skin!

Be sure to use this face mask immediately after making it!

Mother’s Day Daffodils

What you need:

- cardboard egg cartons

- hot glue gun

- yellow and green pipe cleaners

- scissors

- yellow and orange paint

- green cardstock

- glass jar

1. With strong scissors, cut out the center points of your egg carton. Also, individually cut out each egg holder.

2. Take the individual egg holder and use your scissors to cut rounded petals. Make at least 5 petals, and then poke a hole in the center of each flower. Lastly, round the edges of all the center points.


3. Paint the petals yellow and the center points orange.

4. Cut about a fourth of a yellow pipe cleaner and stick it through the hole in the orange center point, then place the yellow flower on as well.

5. Cut a leaf shape out of green cardstock, and hole-punch a hole into the bottom of the leaf. Then slide the leaf onto a green pipe cleaner.

6. Twist the yellow pipe cleaner with the green one to combine the stem and the flower together.

7. Repeat these steps to make multiple daffodils to add to your vase. This craft makes a great gift for mother’s day or a beautiful spring decoration!

Plant-Based Eating, and how animal foods fit

I’ve been an advocate for healthy, balanced diets for many years, and love learning about how our eating habits affect our health.

And, I’ve eaten this way long before it became the model of healthy eating on Canada’s Food Guide plate. The science behind Canada’s Food Guide includes studies that show how a healthy diet can help prevent chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer.
