Hallow an avocado, the trick to a relaxing treat

A ripe avocado is the perfect Halloween treat.

Fall is exciting as leaves change and kids sugar-up in Halloween fever.

Grab something in reach for an easy-to-do break- a ripe avocado. This spa home recipe uses oatmeal to soften skin, almonds to exfoliate and vitamins A, D and E-rich avocados to give skin a fighting chance.

Gather One half cup almonds, finely chopped, one cup dry oatmeal, one peeled and diced ripe avocado, several extra large towels, an aromatherapy of choice, mood music, and a plastic laundry basket.

In the bathroom Line bath tub with towels, setting aside one towel.Set out an unlit candle or aromatherapy of choice, and play some music to set the mood. Place a plastic laundry basket by the tub.

In the kitchen Mix almonds and oatmeal in a blender. Add diced avocado to mixture. Mist extra towel lightly and warm it in the microwave or clothes dryer.

In the zone Head back to the bathroom and light the candle. Gently massage mixture onto your sweet self. This mixture is perfect for the body, but the almonds may damage fine facial skin, so keep it on the down-low.  Wrap your body in the warm towel and lay in the towel-lined tub for fifteen minutes. Throw the dirty towels in the laundry basket and take a warm shower or bath.
