DIY Face Powder

Today I’m sharing with you one of my favorite DIY projects, because I get to use it almost daily.

So I haven’t been posting like normal, but I felt I needed to stop and say thank you to my readers for helping me achieve these milestones. I am sharing a recipe I use as a thank you to my husband often since it is one of his favorites, my twice baked potatoes.
