I am not much for wearing makeup. I can count on one hand how many times I wear it in a year's time. Mostly this is because I just don't care for the feel of it on my face and also because the skin is a penetrable organ that can easily absorb any chemicals we put on it. Makeup is generally pretty nasty stuff, hence my reluctance to wear it. I am also so used to not wearing any that I cannot get over how "clownish" I appear to myself when I do. My resolution for 2012 to have more fun has meant … [Read more...]
Juice Beauty – Organic Skin Care

As if knowing I needed a better alternative I get an invitation to test a new healthy juice drink for kids called Froose. Woot! I received a big box of of Froose juice boxes … [Read more...]
The Secret of Neem
No it is not a spelling error. I am not talking about the movie, The Secret of Nim. I just had to use that play on words since I watched that movie a lot when I was a child. :) I have fallen in love with NEEM products lately. Specifically I have been using facial soaps that have neem in them but I also have been known to use toothpaste that has neem in it to. So what is neem? It is actually a tree. Its official name is Azadirachta Indica and it has been used in India for centuries for … [Read more...]
