Sorry I’ve been so MIA. Why didn’t anyone tell me senior year is so busy?! Eh. It will officially be over next Monday and graduation is on the 16th. I still have yet to find a graduation dress. Feel free to help me =]. So on to bigger and better things. Have you ever heard of Dr. Bonner’s castile soap? It’s AMAZING! You can use it for almost anything. Traycee over at KISS (http://keepitsimplesista.blogspot.com/) has an amazing you tube video on how to make your own shampoo using Dr. Bonner’s. I have been using it as a face and body wash. I have oily skin so my face is loving this. It gets me squeaky clean without drying me out. There is no residue left on my skin at all. I also made a body scrub. It is by far my favorite and trust me I’ve used a lot!

Talya’s Body Scrub:

1/4cp Dr Bonner’s

juice of half a lemon (it helps fade dark spots)

1/2 cp of each brown and white sugar (brown sugar has larger grains to exfoliate white sugar buffs skin smooth)

Olive Oil (I eyeball this. It adds moisture to the skin)

Mix in a container and throw it in the fridge after using. The lemon juice can spoil. Plus cold body scrub on a hot day sounds good to me.

I picked up my bottle at a natural food store but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them at Whole Foods in the city. Of course you can always go to  www.drbonner.com. Just google Dr. Bonner’s and you will find multiple uses, from laundry detergent to multi purpose cleaner. This is a recession. You better stretch your dollar.
