words and thoughts

Summer has arrived and this can only mean one thing! Too much bare flesh! As I walked round town (with a full length skirt and long line vest on I hasten to add) I saw many blindingly white, scrawny men with no tops on and far too many size 18+ girls with teeny weeny skirts and crop tops on. Surely there should be a law against such things. I’m wondering if they think that by wearing ginormous jewellery we will not see their second arse and spare tyre lolloping over their far too tight skirts/shorts.

The sight of such atrocities cannot dampen my spirits though as i have found wonderous new beauty products from Hand Made Naturals. I have been suffering from quite bad skin for some time now (one of the many reasons I try not to show too much of it) and it seems that there is an ingredient in a lot of beauty products that is BAD. This ingredient is Sodium Laurel Sulphate and it is in everything, even things that claim to be gentle on the skin. So I did a search for SLS free stuff and found the afore mentioned site. I have been using the facial wash, toner and moisturiser for about 3 weeks and the skin on my face is so lovely now, no redness or soreness. But today I tried their shampoo and conditioner. I was actually quite nervous about this, because I really wanted it to work. Thing is that I have waist length hair that knots VERY easily so normally I can go through 3 times as much conditioner than shampoo. I washed my hair, not too many bubbles but apparently that’s to be expected from natural shampoo. Then I nervously put on the conditioner which is more of a lotion than a cream. I put it on little by little as suggested and I have to say that I didn’t think much of it to begin with. Then I washed it out (after 5 mins) and my fingers just ran straight through my hair!!! This has never happened before so I was seriously happy, and I didn’t use that much of it. Funny thing is that my face and hair have never actually felt so clean. None of the products smell ‘pretty’ but they do smell nice and my skin loves me for using them right now. I’m going to try the shower gel next!
