Partially-Crystallized Honey Lip Scrub
photo credit: Roberto Verzo My lips were feeling kinda crusty (probably from me being in the sun and putting tea tree oil on them when I had that spot of poison ivy), so I used the same local honey that I've been using to sweeten my Perfectly Pear Tea to scrub my lips. The honey was/is beginning to crystallize, so I figured that it would exfoliate well..and it did! I coated my lips in...
Another Use for Coconut Oil

Until a few days ago, I was taking off my eye makeup (which is usually the only makeup I wear) with olive oil. While on our family beach vacation, Danielle suggested that I use coconut oil.

Kirby started using the coconut oil that I used to make deodorant and toothpaste (reviews to come) with, and he mentioned it improving the condition of his hair. Following my next shower, I covered my body (with the exception of my face, neck, and chest) with it. Here's what I think: Performance- It makes my skin feel like soft, smooth heaven, and my (perpetually ashy) legs still feel moisturized at the end of the day. Ingredients- It's straight up coconut oil. Price- I can't remember the...
