♦If beauty hurts...why go along with it? This excerpt was a huge eye opener for me:
The FDA report states patients [Who have gotten implants] must get MRIs every two years to screen for “silent ruptures” of the silicone implants, which don’t deflate when they tear like saline implants so you don’t know when they’re leaking. That’s an extra $2,000 biannually for women who have elected to breast enhancement! Add it all up and the original $5K to $10K procedure will now cost a 25-year-old woman at least another $35K for re-implantation and $30K for the recommended number of MRIs throughout her life!

Sorry for posting late, I was spending time with my Mom. I had to work on Sunday! Boo!
The baby experiment--just wow!
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested to hear more on your method for the oil cleansing process--I tried it a couple of times with less than stellar results, so I'd be interested what the differences in method were.
Yeah, the gender stereo types really bum me out.
DeleteFor the oil cleansing:
I spread coconut oil over my face and leave it on while I brush my teeth. Then using a warm wet washcloth wipe the excess off.
I have also started to use a small dab of tea tree oil on blemish areas. (Tea tree oil has antimicrobial and antiseptic properties.)
I have read that some people have reactions to coconut oil. I did read somewhere that some folks with acne have had problems with it.
I recommend doing a test to see if there is an allergic reaction, before using it on the whole face.
Wow, big post today! The boho perfectionism article is great.
ReplyDeleteI found a lot of interesting stuff. :)
DeleteThanks for the details! I had been using an olive oil/castor oil combo recommended by some beauty blog somewhere, and it was too drying--crazy! The trick seems to be finding the right oil.
ReplyDeleteGlad to help. : )
