I stumbled upon this site today, and I cannot wait to take advantage of some of these deals. Vitacost.com has surprisingly low prices on all kinds of natural health and beauty products. The even have food and herbal teas! The products offered actually remind me a lot of the healthy food section in my favorite Kroger. Whoa...
Dr. Bronner’s has changed my feelings toward public restrooms.

I've recently started carrying a travel-size bottle filled with Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Pure-Castile Soap in my purse. I am no longer faced with either having to wash my hands with anti-bacterial sludge (that contains any number of questionable ingredients) or not washing my hands at all. I should've done this months ago; I feel good about life. Annnnd: After I find a job and am making money down here in Lake Charles, I'm going to buy all of the containers and necessary ingredients to create and sell my own line...
Etsy has an abundance of treats!

I need to get a job stat! Otherwise, I'm going to spend all my money on pretty things from Etsy. Here are a few of my favorites (I'm loving yellows and golds right now; can you tell?): I wish that I had a birthday every month. I'm...
Thanks, Coastal Classic Creations. I enjoy smelling like a snow cone.
photo credit: GilmourCreative I ordered a small bag of trial size items from Coastal Classic Creations a few months ago. I have yet to actually review any of the products, but I did post about liking the trial size light to medium concealer while I was sunburned and on the beach with my family. I will eventually get around to posting thorough...
This Works: Stretch Mark Oil Review
Filed under: health and beauty, natural products, product review, skin care
Remember the treats that I talked about in one of my recent posts? Well, I decided that it was time to review one of the health and beauty related products from that post. This Works: Stretch Mark Oil is kind of rocking my world right now. Before I get to the reviewing business, I should probably make it known that I've never used stretch mark oils or vitamin E oils as directed. Most directions suggest using these oils five or six times a day to achieve optimal results. My few lingering stretch marks left over from puberty don't...
Let’s talk about bacon.

When people ask me why I don't eat meat, I usually freeze. I'm always worried that I'll say something that will come off as offensive or ignorant or maybe even both. I usually begin by saying, "I'm not a very good vegetarian." I've been eating a mostly vegetarian diet for only a couple of years now, but I will eat meat if someone I don't know very well cooks me a meal. I consider it common courtesy. I usually follow my shameful consumption of meat with lots of fiber rich foods, but at least I didn't seem like an asshole...
Bananas Foster, sort of
We had some peaches and bananas that were getting pretty ripe, so I did what any reasonable person would do: I made a dessert! I was trying to create a version of Bananas Foster that my favorite Mexican restaurant in the world offers (which has strawberries instead of peaches), and I think I actually came pretty...
Birthdays and Boyfriends
My 21st birthday was last week, and I was admittedly a little bummed out that I wouldn't be spending it with all of my close friends and family, but Kirby, being the swell guy that he is, made sure that it was a lovely day from start to finish. It started with birthday donuts and flowers, and it ended with birthday cuddling and Arrested Development (in between were birthday lunch at a delicious cafe and birthday sushi for dinner ). I'm a lucky girl. Damaging my hair never felt so classy. Honestly, this straightener has been kinder to my hair than...
Tea Tree Oil is a pretty effective deodorant.
Filed under: health and beauty, natural products, physical well-being, skin care
I've been swiping a little tea tree oil under my arms for the past few days with a cotton swab instead of using deodorant, and I think I'm going to make a habit of it. The strong licorice-reminiscent scent fades within ten minutes, and it keeps me smelling fresh until nightfall. I was a pretty huge fan of the homemade deodorant that I'd been using, but I feel better about putting tea tree oil on my skin than baking soda, and tea tree oil leaves no white residue.
And another thing:
Have I mentioned how pumped I am...
I kind of love my new bathroom.
When we first moved in, I was a little bummed out about how small our bathroom was, but I'm starting to think that it's perfect. It has so many things that I love in a bathroom: lots of counter space, even more cabinet space, a built in towel rack, and a fan.
The top shelf is stuff that we rarely use. The second and bottom shelves are mine, and I gave Kirby the third shelf down. It's somewhat eye level. I figured it'd be a nice gesture since I got more shelves that he did. That's Kirbys Aussie conditioner on...Our Featured Blogs
