You're in for a treat! Not edible this time! This is Sunday's Special, and it will happen every week.
This skin recipe is from my own personal experience...

Caring for your skin. Water isn't enough, people! Here's a fun mask:

Scrub-a-Dub-dub

Ingredients  Needed:
-Real Mayonnaise (with the fat)
-Sand (clean sand from a craft store)
-Medium sized bowl

Okay--First, get a medium sized bowl, depending on how many people and mayonnaise you plan to serve. Then for each person pour about 1 1/2 cups of mayonnaise, and about 3 tbsp. of sand.
Next, you'll want to mix the two ingredients thoroughly together to make a nice, smooth, scrub. Either use your hands or a spoon, it doesn't matter. Spread it around, keeping away from the eyes, and if you don't like mayonnaise, mouth, too.

Fact: The mayonnaise is full of fat that hydrates your skin. Mixing it with the sand creates a fatty scrub that gets the dead skin and hydrates the new skin! Enjoy!

Okay, follow these steps:

1) Spread the smooth peanut butter on BOTH slices of the bread.

2) Take out about 4 or 5 Sun chips and press them down on ONE slice of the bread.
