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 […]

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 […]

Homemade Skin Cleansers from Whole Foods

Whole Foods Market (referred to in our home as whole paycheck) has some great skin cleanser recipes on their website. Most of it is stuff you probably have sitting around and would not have to make a special trip to go buy. I can’t resist homemade remedies. They are just too easy and you can do so […]

Are We Done Yet?

 In my family the Holidays begin the first of November and extend well into February. Thanksgiving, Christmas and a seemingly endless line of birthdays mean that we are so not done with gift giving. Which just makes me want to cry, but anyway. So I came up with a great idea for a gift and I […]

Not your Average Cup of Joe

I came across this recipe for a homemade coffee scrub and I just had to share. I used to never drink coffee but now I can’t make it through the day without at least one cup. This is a good way to recycle the grounds. It is a little messy but well worth the effort […]

Change is on the Horizon

Why is it that the people that are the least informed and most ignorant on a subject are the most vocal? It’s always the person with the worst fashion sense ever who will criticize your wardrobe choices. I think the problem is that the people with common sense don’t want to speak up. I am […]

Handmade Delights

 
If you are still on the hunt for last minute gifts, check out Etsy. For yourself that is, because they are not likely to arrive in time for Christmas…slacker. They only sell handmade goods. It’s the perfect place for someone such as myself who doesn’t want to contribute to the consumerism trend, but well I […]

Is That Your Blinking Lifeclock or Mine?

 Yesterday, I was a fresh-faced girl of 29. Today, I am a confident woman of 30. You hear all these horror stories about turning 30 and the end of your youth, yada, yada. I really just feel relieved. It’s like all the insecurity and the uncertainty of my 20’s is finally over. I feel like […]
