I decided to make the Homemade Cranberry Lip Gloss that I mentioned in my recent post, Homemade Holiday Skin Treats. I used olive oil instead of almond oil since we didn't have any of the latter, and I used coconut oil instead of petroleum jelly because that stuff grosses me out for so many reasons (one being this article that I found on the same site as the lip gloss recipe).

Warning: the final step is very, very messy if you don't have a sieve. I didn't photograph it because my hands were disgusting,...

The pretty glass bottle that my Burt's Bees Vitamin E Body & Bath Oil came in has inspired me to buy more glass bottles for storing homemade health and beauty products. My friend Chuck told me about two really neat websites where I can find glass bottles for next to nothing (SKS Bottle & Packaging, Inc.Sunburst Bottle Company), and I'm pretty pumped about it.

I've gotten a Brazilian wax before.  Honestly, I was more annoyed by how expensive it was (around sixty dollars after tip) than how much it hurt. Once the initial swelling and pain subsided, I was very happy with the results. It grew back much more slowly than I anticipated, and that's never a bad thing. It's about time I had it done again, and I've been toying with the idea of doing it myself. Is that ridiculous? Have I lost my mind? I think I need guidance. All I know is that I've got a new bikini and it's the...
