Homemade Holidays

So this past year has been a quick spiral into the world of hippiedom. I am actually truly enjoying the idea of being less reliant on the commercialized things of the world. However, I am NOT giving up my microwave! My good friends Caryl and Sus do not have microwaves!!! They are true hippies. Sus has our chicken flock in her backyard and always smells like tea tree oil, and Caryl has a garden that could feed both of our families. They are both awesome women who I respect more than words could ever say. However I am not quite ready to "go there" yet. I am however making all of my own bath products now. Well not shampoo I tried the no poo thing, and it worked really well, however, it didn't make my hair any better than my shampoo. I use sulfate and paraban-free shampoo anyway and I really like the way it makes my hair smell (it's Moroccan oil). Anyway I made bath bombs, moisturizer, chapstick, sugar scrub, and lotion bars for my friends and family for christmas this year and I love them all!!!! They are so easy and cheap, and I use them all over Gabe and I know exactly what is in them. Check out crunchybetty.com to get all the info on making your own stuff, she has an amazing site. Merry Christmas everyone.
