How can we make this day more manageable?

Lisa loathes daylight savings time. Well hey, I don't exactly love it either, who does? Yesterday she noted to me on our way to a bible babble meeting that she was grumpy. The hostess this week put out a big bowl of Cadbury Mini Eggs, much to the delight of all, including Lisa.

Today Lisa texted me, "Ugh, I'm cranky again."

"But less cranky than yesterday?" I asked, thinking that there was perhaps hope to be found in the declining levels of foul feelings.

"Mmm, not really. Couldn't sleep last night."

"Eat a mini egg. Fixes everything", I said. "Someone should make a mini egg latte."

"We should invent that and sell it in our cupcake/natural cosmetics store."

I wash my make up off now with honey and a warm wet facecloth, by the way. Another great tip from CrunchyBetty.com.

I let my best gal pal know that David's Tea is now stocking a Jelly Bean tea, with real Jelly Belly jelly beans in it and then I added a PS that I KNEW would fix everything.

"Robert Downey Jr. on a miniature pony."

For us, this scene from the sequel of Sherlock Holmes will never get old.

 On the topic of getting old, I went into Shoppers Drug Mart on Sunday to buy a $14 thing of magic potion lotion that would make my skin glow. I walked out, $91 with an entirely new makeup regime from Cover FX.

Yes, I am saving money on my cleaning products so that I can spend it all on putting fancy, skin-coloured dirt on my  face.

I now get great coverage for my red, cranky skin in just a teeny tiny bit of liquid make up, but I must be doing something wrong in the application process of the coverup, setting powder and foundation because everything settles into the fine creases under my eyes, aka, wrinkles. Maybe I can Spackle some honey in there and make them go away. I'll get back to you on that.

Good enough to eat?

There's something about a sunny spring day that makes a girl feel like blogging again. Where to begin?

When I'm not blogging I often think of you, readers. Mostly when I have discovered a new thing that I love and want to tell everyone about. Like today when I stopped at Lush and let them slather my hands in Ro's Argan Body Conditioner. The stuff smells like roses and honey and when you wash it off not only do you smell yum, your skin feels like silk, which is what every body wash and lotion promises you but oh so few actually deliver.

Let's stay hanging out in the bathroom, shall we? I'll tell you about my latest hippy dippy cleaning product alternative. I can't remember how I stumbled onto CrunchyBetty.com but I did, and promptly fell in love. She's funny, friendly and straight up and she has all these cheap and easy alternatives to commercial cleaning products. My first experiement from her site was with ditching shampoo for baking soda and conditioner for apple cider vinegar. Yup really. The cider vinegar rinse leaves my hair oh so soft that all I want to do is pet my head. Two washes in and I am liking it, although it sounds like some people find it can leave your hair dry after a few weeks of this routine. Check the recipe if you are curious about going no 'poo.

That's all the words I've got today.
