Greasing Up Baby

Kids are weird.
They are odd, little people that live in your home. One day they’re these larval, immobile creatures with floppy heads and tiny mouths. Then, suddenly, they’re walking, talking little humans capable of saying “MAMA!” as they stare at your husband.
Strangely, they need much of the same things we do. Food. Shelter. Moisturizing.
In the […]

There Ain’t No Bugs On Me

In response to a request for bug repellents I did a little research. It required some imagination since it’s still pretty chilly here and there are obviously no mosquitoes out. Okay not even chilly. Just cold. But anyhoo, I did test some things out though to see if they were irritating on my skin. My top […]

Bubble, Bubble Toil and…Soap

Remember we talked about the great soaps and scrubs from The Bubble Roome? Well guess what kids, they’re back…finally. I thought I was gonna die and junk. I want pretty soap and I want it now. Kidding not really. It was worth the wait however because since I signed up for the newsletter while they […]

Kill Them With Organics

I try to be low-key about my environmental beliefs…well except for here but we’re friends so it’s okay. I personally don’t want to be hit over the head with someone else’s belief system. As shocking as it is, environmental concerns to a lot of people are beliefs, not fact. I was stupefied when someone close […]

A Little Cross Promotion

Check out Almost Vegetarian today for a yummy recipe for the kids from yours truly. It’s tasty for adults too. My obsession with “greening” my family has extended to the food we eat and I really enjoy it as well. We all know getting enough of the right kinds of foods in our diet is vitally […]

Hope in a Jar for Pennies

I often find myself thinking these days, am I the only one? By that I mean, am I the only normal person in a sea of crazy people? I can’t be the only one who thinks you shouldn’t spend money needlessly just because you can. What does it say about our society that it has become […]

Wednesday: Questions and Answers

 
This week’s question comes from Mary who is a teacher and wants to know the very best way to soften and moisturize your feet. As a former gymnast and coffee house serf, I am keenly aware of how important it is to care for your feet. I am also vain. I mean just when it […]

Inner Peace is Beautiful

With the sad and untimely deaths of Brad Renfro and Heath Ledger, it has really hit home to me the need to take better care of myself. I obviously didn’t know them personally but I just find it really sad and a waste of the precious gift that life is. I think it’s too easy […]

Giveaway Time: BeeCeuticals Gift Pack

 
I recently had the opportunity to try out the BeeCeuticals Organics skincare line. I had never heard of it until one of my lovely readers recommended it. I have to tell you that I am hooked. Their Bee-yond Lip Balm is truly emollient and not waxy. Most chapstick like products have this weird taste and they don’t last […]

Bare Naked Beauty

 
As I’ve said before, I get territorial about my new finds. I will selectively withhold information from people who I deem unworthy. No use throwing my pearls to the swine. In this case I have decided that my find was just too fantastic to keep to myself. In all of my benevolence I have decided […]
