My son had really dry skin a week or two ago. It's still a little dry but it was really dry back then.
I started using glycerin soap on him--Avalon Organics glycerin soap. It's really helped a lot. I like it myself, too, for winter. This winter seems drier than the norm...
Heh heh...well it depends on what sort of veggies you want to snack on. You can get baby carrots...they cost a bit more but it's less work and they're tastier.
Also cauliflower...it's good, raw. You just cut up the whole head into little pieces.
The real work would be celery. :) Because you have to string it and cut it up. Radishes are easy. I'm so lazy. I look for the ones that are pretty clean to begin with. :)
Iranians eat a form of this. It's called noon-o-paneer-o-sabzi. (I'll bet I just murdered the Farsi language, there.)
Noon is bread, in this case it's flatbread (pita).
Paneer is cheese. You can use goat cheese, just rinse the salt off first.
Sabzi means green herbs. Usually fresh basil leaves...you can use other stuff as well, I've seen fresh parsley leaves (the flat kind), it seems to me I've seen a few cilantro leaves thrown in there...mild green herbs, generally.
Along with this you can have radishes, radish greens as long as they're tender...scallions (you get little ones and cut off and discard the ends and most of the green, oh leave about two inches of green), and walnuts.
Here's what you do. You take a piece of the bread, add a piece of the cheese, and then add in whatever green herbs you want. It's like a little sandwich.
You eat this along with the radishes, scallions, walnuts (most people have a preference...I myself don't eat scallions).
Erm? That was a tangent. It's pretty tasty though.
I'm not sure yet which blue I want to get. It doesn't need to be an intense blue. In fact I'd prefer a more subtle blue. Like a neutral color, with a blue glint.
I'm trying out the taupe shadow with MAC Swish today. Why didn't I wear taupe before? It's too dull on its own. But combined with a colored shadow, it looks beautiful.
I'm still hot on the trail of the two-lipstick experiment. :) I'm not going to buy any lipstick until I use up one or the other. It's good; it lets you think more, overall, about what you really want.
'later!
