New Info for me!

It is interesting that no matter how much you think you have researched something, you can still learn.  I have been seeing more articles and topics on programs that are discussing the absorbtion of chemicals into your body through the skin.  It makes perfect, logical sense--but take that to the next level!  In the shower we all know that the hot water opens your pores.  Now, if you are using chemicals in your soaps, shampoos and shaving creams put the logic together.  You guessed it--you are soaking up those toxins at an alarming level!  You have just made it even easier for them to get into your body, and since your skin is the largest organ you have....well, you do the math.

Try to change one small thing in your daily routine of cutting out processed foods, refined sugars, white flour etc----  Buy some toxin free, organic, handmade soap.  They smell fabulous, contain only naturally occuring oils that are organic --some contain butter ( but some are Vegan friendly and do not) some have seeds for scrub--but all are chemical free.  Its a simple change to make in our hectic lives that makes a HUGE difference.

Gotta get back to blogging!

Ok-I took somewhat of a break there because of another job committment.  I thought maybe it was time to get back into the soaping and both my sites.  Fall is finally coming back around here in Florida, but I see that many of you up North went from summer straight to snow. It was an odd summer for us with no hurricanes, or rainy season that we usually have.   I wonder if its going to be a lonngggg winter.

Either way, I am working on the new soaps for the holiday season.  Today I decided I need to add a lemon soap for the kitchen.  Lemon takes the smell of garlic, onion etc off your hands. I tend to make alot of comfort foods in the winter that call for garlic and onion. ( Garlic is a natural anitbiotic and great to put in recipes to keep everyone healthy in the flu season.)  I was rubbing my hands with a lemon last night trying to get the smell off my hands when the idea hit--  Lemon soap instead! I am thinking organic lemon peel to add some scrub to it-- or maybe poppy seeds.  I will let you know!
