Coconut + Honey Birthday Glow Face Mask A Small Sweet Thing from The Sweet Between Estimated time: 10–15 minutes

Make It
Whether it’s your birthday or just a “thank God I made it” kind of day — this soft, nourishing mask is a reminder:
You are worth the glow.
You don’t need a party to honor your becoming.
Just a quiet moment. A little sweetness. And a mirror that reflects your softness back to you.

You’ll Need:

  • 1 tbsp raw honey (hydrating + healing)

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (moisturizing + soothing)

  • Optional: a pinch of turmeric (for brightness) or rosewater (for blessing)

How To:

  1. Mix ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.

  2. Gently apply to clean skin with fingertips or a brush.

  3. Leave on for 10–15 minutes.

  4. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Smile at yourself.

Soft Prompt:
What have I survived that deserves celebration?
What part of me is blooming, even if no one sees it yet?

Optional Blessing:
“I am not behind. I am unfolding. This glow comes from grace.”
