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...

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...
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...
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...
Treats, Treats, and More Treats

The easiest way for me to fill you in on what's been going on with my life lately is to show you the treats that I've...
Cervical Dysplasia
I discovered that I had cervical dysplasia after my second or third trip to the Gynecologist. My follow-up pap smear was also abnormal. I have friends who have had to undergo biopsies after repeated abnormal pap smears, and I've heard a horror story or two about how painful it can be. Needless to say, I wanted to avoid that. My sister told me that she read a few things online about natural remedies for cervical dysplasia, and I did some research for myself shortly after that. A lot of the blogs and articles that I found suggested discontinuing the use...
Linalool, friend or foe?
Filed under: health and beauty, natural products, physical well-being, skin care
photo credit: miltedflower I mentioned linalool in my recent post about perfume, but I didn't really expound upon why it should be avoided because I hadn't done much research at that point (aside from the articles that I linked to in the post). My curiosity was stirred once again while reading the ingredients to Danielle's seemingly harmless body oil. Upon seeing the ingredient "linalool" listed, I immediately did some research. Linalool earns a hazard...
Eating meat makes me feel sluggish.
Filed under: food and drink, life lessons, physical well-being, travel
I just got back from a sufficiently relaxing vacation with Kirby and his family (hence my week-long post hiatus). The week was filled with sunshine, fruity drinks, and insane amounts of food. I enjoyed every second of it, but my body still hates me for all the junk food that I consumed. Potato chips, sausage casserole (Sometimes I'm a bad vegetarian, okay?), and lots of bread and cheese pretty much made up my entire diet for the week. I still feel sluggish, and I'm convinced that the three ulcers in my mouth are somehow connected to the poor food choices...
Celestial Seasonings Perfectly Pear White Tea
Filed under: food and drink, health and beauty, physical well-being
After reading that white tea has anti-aging properties, I felt immediately compelled to buy some. I've been drinking Celestial Seasonings Perfectly Pear White Tea over ice for the past few days, using either local honey or stevia as a sweetener. I think that it's lovely, and Danielle says it tastes like...
