I happen to love eating avocados. Sometimes I'll bring a whole avocado for lunch and eat it plain, just like that. Such is my deep and abiding love for the fruit.

1. Moisturizing face mask: Clueyblog has three different avocado face masks. And here's a recipe for the popular avocado and egg white face mask, known to be great for both oily and dry skin.
