on 12/1/2008 I'm surprised by how easy the avocado mask seems (and cheap compared to fancy masks from department store makeup counters). I always have a hard time with dry skin during the winter---can't wait to try your mask.

on 11/7/2008 I love it! This is a great thing to make with advocados that are too overripe for eating. I'm jealous that you actually have an advocado tree!
