I got a $100 Amazon gift card for Christmas, and it took me all of five minutes to spend $80 of it. Wanna see what I got?
I haven't shampooed my hair in months, and it's definitely healthier for it. Still, I can always get on board with something that will make my hair smell like something other than...hair. That's my one complaint with using only baking soda: it smells like nothing at all. Either none of my friends...Danielle and Kirby know me too well.

I recently read a little about the benefits of rosewater, and I was prompted to pick up a bottle of the above mixture during yesterday's visit to the health food store.

I'm not exactly sure how I'm supposed to be using this stuff, so I've just been splashing a bit on my face after cleansing and before moisturizing. I've only used it twice so far, so I'm hardly ready to review it. We'll...

While I had fun experimenting with the oil cleansing method (as well as moisturizing with a mixture of oils), I can honestly say that I'm glad to be using my old favorites again--Karen's Botanicals Perfect and Gentle Cleansing Lotions. With these guys, I don't have to worry about proportions or adjustment periods...and sometimes leaving out the guesswork is just what I need. For those of you who are interested, the mixture of oils I used was equal parts grape seed and castor oils...

Do: Moisturize just as frequently and cleanse just as sparingly as you would otherwise (paraben-free moisturizers and...
