2 of my recent additions to my favorite things. First I will tell you about this product I came to know and actually is perfect for the dry skin our winters cause us to have. SheaMoisture brand products This stuff in particular is what I am using now. I use it daily as a facial moisturizer. It is sooo thick I store it upside down and have to take the cap off to squeeze any of it out. It absorbs quickly and it has oats, aloe and Vitamin E in it to calm skin. It has a pleasant smell...not too perfumey. I also have a nice Olive and Green Tea body wash that I am using too. I don't think its for African skin only....I was wondering at first and I do think the company does make a lot of products for African skin and hair....though after looking for pictures online to post of this I am beginning to think I am the only white girl using this product! The website it pretty nice. www.sheamoisture.com I will need to check...
So I tried something new today. I baked a tasty treat that called for 3 whole vanilla beans. Yeah, exciting…I know. :P I have seen it done but never attempted anything with real true fresh from the bean itself VANILLA. I do love myself some vanilla bean ice cream. I didn’t make ice cream. Sorry. Anyways, I attempted a rather involved (even though the degree of difficulty was considered EASY) it was a bit more involved then I like to usually do AND it involved cutting in butter/making a dough. I stay far away from any recipes that tell me I need to make a pie crust or roll out dough. I would normally buy a premade crust at that point. I just don’t have the patience…usually. I get frustrated with the many problems dough can give you. Though today, I did not give up when the dough had me worried. I added a little more heavy cream and it was much much better. My Godson Jacob got me a Pioneer Women Cookbook for Christmas and I record her cooking shows and breeze through the episode at a lat...
Anyone who knows me well enough, knows that I suffer from allergies..to mostly everything nature or animal! Dust, trees, leaves, cats, dogs, grass....I swear the list goes on and on. Anyways, these last couple days I have been itchy ALL OVER my body! I have been taking a daily Zyrtec and morning shower(I should be doing this anyways!) and even washed my bedding(it was due anyways) to help combat the itchies. I checked an allergy website www.pollen.com and it said that it was going to be a Med to Med/High week of allergies. So, I dont know if any of you are having this issue, but I basically want to itch my skin off and dig out my eyes!!! I swear even my earlobes are itching right now!!! HELP!
