Today is December 8th

I read an article somewhere that talked about how many chemicals we're exposed to in everyday items such as beauty products. Being someone who is all about beauty products, I decided to go organic with them as I ran out of things. First items were shampoo and soap. I bought Kiss My Face olive oil and honey soap. I used it twice three weeks ago and I'm still recovering from how badly it made me break out. Fortunately I didn't use it on my face. Instead of bar soaps, I'm going to give an organic body wash a try as soon as my Softsoap that smells like Playdoh runs out. Dave says he likes the Kiss My Face soap, so if you don't have my skin, he recommends it. The shampoo I bought was pretty bad too. I couldn't remember the brand a friend recommended so I went ahead and winged it when I made my choice. When I'd lather it into my hair, it actually didn't lather at all, and within 20 seconds my hair was a big, massive, knotty mess that could barely be rinsed. It also didn't clean my hair, although it dried it out nicely despite the application of lots of conditioner. No one wants an itchy scalp two hours after you wash your hair. Today I went back to the natural food place and got Giovanni brand shampoo and conditioner (See? I remembered!) so I'm hoping it works a lot better than the other stuff. I'll let you know.

Meanwhile, for the last couple of days I've been wanting to listen to music that I know all the words to but which I haven't heard in a while. I tried to get "Ritual de lo Habitual" on iTunes but they only have a partial album. Bob Marley's "Legends" it is. Suddenly I'm 16 again and getting all daydreamy about that cute college guy I work with.

I tried a Lush shampoo bar once. Shampoo-wise it worked well and smelled really good but it gave me a hell of a rash on my face. I left it in my parents' guest bathroom to act as a sachet.

I'm still mourning the loss of the Fairy Jasmine bath bomb. Those were the days.

I am a big fan of LUSH stuff, right now I have a shampoo bar with lots of glitter, it might make up for the lack of Fairy Jasmine Bomb. Just don't tell Dave I am the one who told you about it, well it might be too late for that. How do you like the Giavani stuff??

I can't believe you know all the words to "Ritual de lo Habitual".
