Going Natural
The Doctors is one of my favourite tv shows. I watch it religiously everyday. One of the results of me watching the show is i have become more health conscious (to a point). What i mean by that is i am more aware of the chemicals that are found in commercial product and the harmful effects that long term use of these products can have on the body. This has inspired me to use natural homemade product. I hope to one day replace all the commercial products i use for homemade natural product.
For example, I want to be able to make my own deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo you name it i want to make it myself. Recently i found a recipe for homemade deodorant inspired by Angry Chicken that i am eager to try. (I will post the recipe on the end of this post). I will probably make it in the next two weeks and post it a review of it by the end of the month. What i like about the recipe is that it is easy to make and the ingredients are pretty easy to find if you know where to look. I may eliminate the shea butter or lower the number of tablespoons (increasing the amount of cocoa butter as a substitute) because i am not found of its smell.
Its funny that I am buying into the living greener campaign, but anyone who knows me knows that ads work on me i will buy into anything thats advertised a lot on television. (sad but true...lol)
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons shea butter
3 Tablespoons baking soda
2 Tablespoons corn starch
2 Tablespoons cocoa butter
2 vitamin E oil capsules (drained, add the oil throw away the capsules :P)
Essential Oil Preparation
- Melt all the ingredients except the vitamin oil and essential oil in the microwave for 30 seconds.
- Add the oil and stir again.
- Pour into a jar and place in fridge to set.

Often when I witness troubled relationships the first thought that come to my mind is why is she staying? Can't she see he isn't right for her?or i think that she is stupid or has self esteem issues. I go as far as to place myself in her shoes and say if that was me i would have left him long time. I think what most of us outsiders looking in, don't realize is that he may not always be as bad as we may think he is. There are probably times when he is extremely loving, kind and affectionate. Heck he may be a amazing 99% of the time. The times we see him being rude and mean to her is the 1% that is rare. WE don't realize that she is so focused on how he normally treats her that she ignores what are probably warning signs and she follows her heart and ignore her gut instincts. What we don't realize, is that she loves him more than she loves herself. What we don't realize, is that she probably wants to give him the chance to correct the "minor" issues he has. What we don't realize is that he was there for her when she needed him and now she wants to be there for him when he needs her. Love has a way of making people feel trapped. Sometimes, you don't want to let go cause you feel like you're giving up, even if it hurts to stay...
A few weeks ago i read a quote that stuck with me and it said "You accept the love you think you deserve..."
Random Thoughts + Things that puzzle me...(aka..me being disgruntle...lol)
1. I hate when i throw something away and then the next day i find a use for it then i have to end up buying it again. this sucks big time.
2. Why is it that people wait until they are sick to motivate others to live healthy? Like seriously that doesn't work. You have no credibility. I'm sure there were people who were sick and tried to warn you about the importance of being healthy but you didn't lesson did you? If you had then you wouldn't be sick right now (maybe)
3. Why do parents always tell you to grow up when they want you to do something that you, and tell you your growing up too fast when they dont like the decisions you make for yourself. YALL ARE SENDING MIXED MESSAGES! (rant from my teenage years)
4. Why do we always procrastinate and once your finally finish promise not to do it again... But end up doing it again anyways and to justify procrastination we say well i always thing better under pressure.
5. Why do people ask the question " How are you" to strangers? They know they dont really care. One of these days I am gonna say exactly how crappy i think my day is going. I bet they wont ask me that again.
To be cont'd I am sure...
I HATE MUSIC ON Blogs
Since i have started blogging, my interests in other peoples blogs have grown. I think i am following about 10-15 blogs right now there is one pet peeve i have about blogs that stands out right now. I HATE MUSIC ON BLOGS... I go there to read not listen to music.The music mostly isnt my taste and it is so distracting sometimes. I dont think i should have to mute the sound on my computer just so i can read your blog. So bloggers please dont add music to you blog unless there is a button to turn it off... Huge request from someone who could just avoid going to blogs with music..lol Anyways truth is people can do whatever they want with their blog maybe i should add music to mine...lol (Like i said in one of my first blogs i am random and crazy i hope my readers (the both of you can keep up with me...lol)
