Re: *:all i need is the man

[Guest guest]

I feel exactly the same way about anything I put on my skin!...and therefore

in my body.

The sesame oil...etc.

EPSOM salts very good...gets magnesium into the tissues (VERY important for

heavy metal toxicity.)

I had a doctor once test the face makeups I was using, and everything ALmay

that had, had arsenic in it, Argh! Waterproof mascara has mercury in

it..not sure about the others.

Hulda is a die hard and talks of using beet powder in beeswax to tint

your lips...and back to charcoal for the eyes...much like the Egyptians used

to do, I suppose.

Yup....I jsut CRINGE big time when I go into stores anymore a walk down the

" PERSONAL CARE and HEALTH isles. I usedto think they were fine too. Poor

people out there are spending oodles on this crap not even knowing how bad

it all is. Just add some color and perfume/chemicals, a fancy label and

there you go.

One thing I DO enjoy is getting some good sea salt or sugar and using it as

a scrub in a good almond, or apricot oil or something. Forget paying a

fortune for the stuff they now sell in cans.

But golly gee, I do have to use goops and things for my hair. God gave me 2

hairs in 3 rows and without anything...well, it is a sad sight to see, lOL!

Going down south to get MAN next week....wish me luck. (long story)

Good for you too then Inga. I have a herbalist/fanatic chemically sensitive

friend who says epsom salts has chemicals in it so she won't take a bath in it.

She uses sea salt instead. I've used both. But I get better results with the

epsom salts & I don't see on the label where there's any chemicals in it. So I

ignore her & use it anyway.

None of the cosmetics I've ever seen has anything good or safe in them so I

never use them anymore, tho I used to when I was young, naive & dumb. I know

better now. I'm like you in the health/cosmetics stores aisles. There's so much

chemicals & crap in that stuff. Just read the labels. I use a charcoal pencil

for my eyebrows. But I also use goops & sprays on my very fine, limp hair.

Also there's an abundance of crappy chemicals in laundry detergents/aids & in

all cleaning products or insecticides. Unfortunately the natural alternatives

stores charge exhorbitant prices. So what to use instead? I've used natural &

herbal things instead as much as I learn about & afford to do or make myself. My

daughter makes my sugar or sea salt rosemary oil or lavendar oil scrubs.

Good luck with meeting your MAN soon.
