No Room at the Inn

While I'm not typically an advocate of getting someone a kitten or puppy as a present (because they can run into problems as the animal gets into their "teenage" years), I am an advocate of everyone seeing if they have room for one more at their "Inn".

I know more and more people who have 2 or 3 cats and a dog.  It's a lot more doable than most people may think.  I never thought I'd be able to have 3 cats, a dog & a snake, but our house is a loving and fun home for us and our furry friends.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  Do you know anyone who might want to make room for one or one more?

Most people who have furry friends in their life know how incredible it is to share your home and life with them.  They can be your best friends when no one understands you and the best snugglers at night.  Take a look at who's available and see if you or someone you know has room.

Happy Holidays!

What's In There Anyway?

Sooo I'm a product junkie and I was recently enlightened by a loved one to just what's in all the products we use every day like shampoos, makeup, soaps, lotions and more.  Although it's not realistic for us to eliminate all of these products (at least right away), maybe we can try to minimize the amount & frequency of these chemicals we put on our bodies.  I wanted to share this with everyone not to scare anyone but just to hopefully give you the tools and information to decide for yourselves what products you want to use.

I've been investigating this issue and have found some great sites that can help break it down.  Care2.com has a great article listing the Top 15 Ingredients to Avoid and I've also used SkinDeep.com to research many of the products that I've used for years.  Many or most of the self care products we use contain some scary chemicals that have been linked to things like cancer, kidney failure, & hormonal disruption to name a few (this goes for guys too!).  I highly recommend checking these sites out to see for yourself.

In addition to this I've been researching what are safe and natural alternatives (that work!) for the product junkies like me!  I'll have more on this soon but so far I've been making my own homemade face masks, body scrubs & oils, and using myself, my sister and friends as guinea pigs...with great results!

Here are my favorites so far:

Face Mask:
Equal Parts Honey, Olive Oil or Jojoba Oil, & Sugar
Slab it on your face and leave for 15-30 min and rinse.  You're skin will be sooo soft!

Go to for Body & Face Lotion: 
 Jojoba Oil (Can add Vitamin E Oil & Lavendar Oil for extra benefit)
A little goes a long way.  Put it everywhere and you'll be so soft.
*Also if you like that dirty hair look but don't want dirty hair, you can put a little of it in your hair.  I've been recommending it to my guy friends as an alternative to not washing their hair!

I'll have more soon.  If you have stuff you love, please share!  Also I'm really interested in this company called 100% Pure that makes makeup, lotions, body washes, skin care, etc all from fruits & vegetables.  It looks fantastic!  If you've tried it will you let me know?

Nite!

Help Me Update My Hair

Most of you know Ryan Olde has been my hair stylist since before The Moxy even started.  He's updating my hair next week and as usual I want to do something different & not just get a trim :)  I had some fun on Instyle's Makeover site trying on hair and I wanted your opinion.  I couldn't add pink to the hair styles so just imagine pink being in there!  Also I probably can't go totally blonde but I didn't like how the color looked when I changed it on the program so again just use your imagination.  If you have cool hair ideas send pics!  Would love to see them.

Keep rockin and much love,
Greta
