Having trouble with mosquitos? Putting a dryer sheet in your pocket helps and cut out the bananas prior to going to outside. Bananas seem to excrete something that really attracts the annoying pests.

I LOVE coconut oil on my hair and skin. I have thick coarse wavy hair and coconut oil keeps the frizzies away. Great on knees and elbows. I don't like using it in cooking as it flavors everything too much. Keep is as a cosmetic.I was looking at popcorn recipes and wondered why so many recipes listed coconut oil as an ingredient as I'd always thought it was one of the "bad" fats. So I searched coconut oil on amazon to read reviews. I was surprised to discover reviewers rated coconut oil as a 5-star skin and hair moisturizer rather than a cooking ingredient. Have any of y'all tried coconut oil as a moisturizer?

Has anyone tried the sea salt body scrubs? I tend toward oily skin but I can't use anything too harsh.
You can make your own with kosher salt, almond oil, olive oil, and essential oils (I love peppermint in a salt scrub). The oils won't make you break out because the scrub is mainly salt.
Excellent! Love the peppermint idea.
Hair cut on the agenda tomorrow. I'm thinking about cutting off 4-6 inches. *crosses fingers* (I'll probably cry afterwards.)
Peace.

All these tips are awesome.
I focus on my neck. Prevent chin/neck wattle. (Someone posted about putting on oil on face and showering/steaming. I do that with my neck )

Or some exterior latex...If you do not have any those fancy teeth whiteners. I use Benzoyl Peroxide. Just make sure that you rinse thoroughly, after using.
A really sweet friend sent me some Lavender body wash and soap during a difficult time a few years back and it was like magic. Helped me sleep and also assisted with anxiety (just the smell of it on my skin, was calming) during some tough stuff.Having difficulties with sleeping? Try using Lavender oil on your skin prior to bed time.
Call me uneducated, but do you just rub the oil on your skin, like straight from the bottle?
I'm starting to worry about wrinklys and whatnot... I don't wanna wrinkle yet! But putting oil on seems like it'd be even greasier than lotion...
