Re: PS- one more thing..
What is funny about perfumes, colognes is that there are many now that are VERY strong for me to smell...on others. I cannot believe how some people who used to smell good to me, now just smell :D! Although I have not gotten there with Obsession...yet. As I mentioned though, I do not wear it as I used to.
I used grapeseed oil with added frankincense e.o., one day and the next apricot oil with added frankincense e.o. OR if I did my face regimen properly, after cleaning my face with OCM, in morning I would use grapeseed or apricot and in the evening, I would use the opposite. I am 45 and have been compliments, also. It rocks :D!
As for my shampoo, until it is gone I am using Desert Essence Organic. After it is gone, I will be using Miracle II soap and neutralizer. When all my other cleaners are gone, this will be the only product I have in my house. It cleans clothes, body, hair, and whatever else you can imagine. I just started using it and will stay with it.
To brush my teeth, I use baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. My teeth look great. I think, even better than when about 2 years (maybe 3 now) ago, I bleached them. I had a 'stain' on my tooth from too much iron in my youth and the bleach didn't take it out but the b.s and h.p did. LOL The funny part though, I took this on my trip and could not find a small container for the b.s. so had to put it in a plastic bag, so as the box could be in there. I was crossing from Michigan through Canada to go to the East coast. Did not want them to see this and think it was drugs...LOL!
As far as I understand it, Origins does not have Any sort of chemicals in their products. I like the makeups I have purchased, so far. Although the lipstick is hard to get used to, it has flower extracts and looks great but considering the products of lipstick that last (darn near) forever, this one does not. Yet, it is a great lipstick.
I had considered making soaps and stuff. I decided, I will support others who are willing to invest the time. :D I am not, at least in this moment!
Have a great day, Boldy!
Peace,
