The Smell of Hawaii
January 27, 2009
I shared with you all my love for my Uggs, but one thing that I have to admit I do not care for is the dry, itchy skin that I have after I wear them all day. My legs usually get very dry in the winter anyways, but there is something about the inside of my Uggs that seem to make my legs even … [Read more...]

I want you to go get that catch-all basket from under your bathroom sink. Yes, that one.

The perfect scrub for curing dry winter skin
January 8, 2009
Every winter my legs start to dry up. By February they are scaly enough to belong to a dragon and ashy flakes cover my socks. It gets so bad that it looks like I had used my socks to cover my hands while clapping the chalkboard erasers for the nuns back in grade school when I take them off in the … [Read more...]
Euphoria with Eufora Hair Products
January 6, 2009
My hair has always been special. Growing up, it was compared to trolls hair, a lions mane, Carrot Tops style, and once I was even asked if I stuck my fingers in a socket to style it. Why, you ask?
