I remember my mom recommending vaseline with white cotton socks overnight. I guess she did (does?) it periodically.

I found something called utter butter..yeah I know...but my hands get really dryed out with all the hand washing I do..works great.

This maybe a good place to remind everyone, including myself, that what we put on our skin is absorbed, at least in part, into our tissues, deep tissues and then blood stream.

Remember that our skin is the largest organ and is permeable to all chemicals. Reading the contents of lotions, oils, soaps is confusing but the milder and the more organic the better. There are tons of carcinogens out there to watch for.

Putting anything on our skin, including sun tan oils, is the same as sticking some of it in our veins.

Something i tend to let slide, and really we shouldn't.

http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/ is a really great resource for learning what's toxic and what isn't. you can search by product, brand, or ingredient, and they also have a bunch of helpful articles about the cosmetics industry, labeling, and toxic ingredients in general.

I am really loving Quorn products.lately. I know.they may soon be on the cutting block from my nutritionist, but for now? they are a great meat substitute about 1x/week for me.

wow, your responses has been great! Thank you!

I also would love to know, of those who colour their own hair, which colouring you like best. I found one called Fat Foam that I love! And they give you so much of it! My submissive has long hair down to his rib cage (I just cut it. It was to his waist) and we can colour his hair and mine with the same box! And the coverage on grey is really good! And it takes forever for it to start to dim!

Alrighty, here is one maybe the butches can help me with,or those wonderful femmes who know about tools. I need a good flashlight for the house and one for the car. I am tired of buying the cheap ones and having them die out on me or break.

If possible, maybe we can provide suggestions on where our suggestions can be found?I am not sure of some of the names I heard regarding moisturizers..like Princess Belle's ...where do you get them at?

Sob! Back to the drawing board on Olay products...GrrrRrrr!! Jerks!

My Wei East products, and Earth To Skin Care product is not tested on animals...YAY!!

I have used every moisturizer in the book (or at least feel like I have) and I can say that I skim a coat of Cetaphil on my face every morning. It works as well as way more expensive brands. I do, however, love me some Origins products if I wanna splurge!

I LOVE shea butter for body lotion. It is a super heavy moisturizer but you can use it in your hair and basically everywhere.
