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 […]

Clean Slate

Here is a newsflash. It may rock your world. Ready. Some people don’t wash their hands. They scratch their butts, eat with their hands, wipe their noses and then spread their cruddy germs everywhere. Another news flash. I have one of these people in my life and I adore him anyway. It’s my little crumb […]

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 […]

Back Again:Wednesday Questions and Answers

Let’s get back on track since last Wednesday an alien took control of my intestines. I had a co-irker( lame, I know) request some recommendations for cuticle oils and nail strengtheners. I have been using Dr. Hauschka’s Neem Nail Oil for years. In fact I have had the same bottle for so long because just […]

200 Cigarettes

Years ago Revlon, or was it Clairol, used to make this great hair spray stuff. It was just this light mist that would take the odor out of your hair. It was fantastic for getting the smell of smoke out of your hair. I no longer hang out in smoke filled bars until all hours, […]

Back from the Dead

 
Imagine that you have not eaten real food for days and the sight of a glass of water makes you nauseous. You would be where I have been this week. After clutching the toilet for dear life and wishing I could just rip out my intestines and put them in a drawer for a little […]

Spa Day Anyone?

Next month I am going to NYC to get into lots of trouble with my girls as a belated birthday present. We are going to eat, shop and completely indulge. In my attempt to “party like it’s 1999″, I will probably end up just drinking too much and fall asleep at 9:30. Sidebar: Have you ever […]
