Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. It occurred to me, as I was spackling this stuff all over my face, that perhaps I shouldn't be using things that smell like death and iron the wrinkles out of my skin. Maybe that's not The Way Things Ought to Be. And let's be real - even when a friend of mine got Botox, I didn't notice - I'm not convinced other people really notice these things anyway. Try this - the next time you get a zit, instead of trying to cover it up, highlight it with a marker & see how long it takes someone to mention it. So, banking heavily on the oblivion of others, I tackled my skin care.
1) Replaced my cleanser with good old Dr Bronners - face, body, hair. Awesome.
2) Replaced my Evil Smelling Charcoal Colored treatment/moisturizer with pure avocado oil (so far, I actually like the results better!)
3) Replaced my body lotion with food-grade coconut oil, and I am glowin', people!
So now, I'm slicking myself up with coconut oil, using corn starch as powder, hippie crystal deodorant rock on the pits, Dr Bronners as all-over soap, and homemade hair-styling products (another time - I found some great recipes). Hell, I'm probably days away from never shaving my legs again, dousing myself in patchouli, and taking a looooooooooong ride on the granola train. I've gone from 20+ personal care products to under 10, all costing less than $25 total, and it's all Natural-Like.
And now, for an amusing glimpse into this first week with the hubby out on tour:

| Well, of course one wears a monkey backpack while climbing into the toilet! Yes, I took the time to go get a camera. |

| Can you spot the toy that doesn't belong? |

| Completely conked out during rehearsal. He was so cute I almost ate him. |
