Day 64: Mini Monkey
It's a baby sock monkey, don't ya know. My great grandma Hartschuh used to make sock monkeys. I have vague memories of her kitchen. There was black and white tile on the floor and chrome on the kitchen table and chairs. She kept chickens, and I'm told that she kept her skin looking healthy and young by applying egg yolk like a mud mask once a week. It works. The vitamin rich yolk draws out dirt and oils as it dries, while feeding the skin the nutrients it needs to be its best. It's difficult to scrub off once it drys so I recommend applying it before you go in the shower where you can splash around and be vigorous with a wash cloth. It makes a mess if you wash it off at the sink.
