I’m Totally Not a Stalker, I Swear

Okay so I just told you about those scrummy (that’s my new word) bath salts from Etsy seller, Skin and Tonic. Well as I was looking through their shop I found like a gazillion other things that I am craving. I just like them, not like like them. So maybe I drove past Sacred Fig […]

A Dash of Salt

 
Sorry to have been MIA for so long. With visiting family and friends and birthdays, I got sidetracked. I won’t let it happen again, I missed you all so. So what I do need now is a relaxing bath. What I would really love is a relaxing spa visit far away from home. For like […]

Soak Those Dogs

I tried out this AMAZING foot soak yesterday and I just have to share. I spend a lot of time on my feet and as a result at the end of the day lately , they are just killing me. My husband has gotten me hooked on a quick foot soak in the bathtub and […]

Relax, Take It Easy

You know there are moments as a parent when you are keenly aware of the fact that karma exists and you obviously did something REALLY horrible to deserve that moment. Then suddenly you have a flashback of your mom saying through clenched teeth, “I hope you have three kids just like yourself someday and I […]

You Put The Lime in the Coconut

 
I love all things coconut. It comes in second only to my love of vanilla. It’s actually a family thing. My husband ended up in the emergency room with a handful of stitches one night all because he just had to have a fresh coconut. The real thing has been banned since. I did get […]

Taming of the Do

 
So last week I got a drastic haircut. Well I guess you can call any haircut for me drastic because I never get my hair cut. She took off about 4-5 inches to create a swingy, blunt bob. Partly it was just for a change but mostly it was just to cut all the unhealthy, […]

This Stuff Works

I have been wanting to try some products from the This Works line forever. I have heard good things about their bath and body oils so I went on a hunt to get some for myself. Unfortunately other things caught my eye first…damn. So I ended up with This Works Turbo Balm and umm, I think […]

Crushworthy

 
I am so all about body scrubs especially ones with brown sugar. This one from Nature Girl looks so incredible I think I might eat it if it was in my shower. I used to have a sugar scrub WAY back in like the 90’s that I was obsessed with. I couldn’t possibly tell you the […]

Green Tea Skin Firming Mask

This was up on Planet Green the other day about how to make a skin firming mask. It has never even occurred to me to use anything other than water when making a clay mask. Green tea? What a fantastic idea. This opens up a whole new world of fresh options for face-saving masks. I just […]

Homemade Cuticle Softener

Since I quit my 9-5 a few months ago I’ve had a hard time staying on top of certain things. I mean my nails and hair had to look at least marginally presentable when I was in the office but at home the expectations are obviously not the same. I’m lucky if I actually shower every […]
