I was worried! The blog server, Blogger, was giving me a lot of trouble with my account, telling me that it didn't exist, etc. So we can all rest assured that I will indeed be able to continue blogging, as far as I'm concerned.
After my two month hiatus, one would think that I have scores of experiences to share. If I do, I've forgotten most. But not all!
I was recently reading about new uses for Nalgene bottles on another blog. As you may know, old Nalgene bottles were exposed as leaching carcinogens (cancer-causing chemicals) into the contents of the bottle(the new ones are made differently so this is no longer an issue). One solution was to convert your old bottle into a lantern by purchasing a small solar device made especially for that. I won't go into all of the details now, but I'd be happy to answer any questions about them since I just bought one of these awesome devices!
Anyway, I followed a link on the blog and after a couple more clicks found a page which interested me. The page was dedicated to the uses of baking soda as an exfoliant. Many users who commented gave rave reviews about just scrubbing with baking soda once or twice a day in place of or as a supplement to the traditional face wash products.
I was intrigued! Finally a new idea which is incredibly good for the environment, so cheap, and so ironically similar to my green toothpaste... In fact, I have since read suggestions of using olive oil as a moisturizer after you scrub with the baking soda. Baking soda + olive oil? Sound familiar?
Anyway, I happened to be out of face wash at that moment so I couldn't think of a more perfect time to test out this new experiment. To date, I've been using baking soda for about three weeks. I'm very happy with it. I wouldn't say that it's solved all of my skin's troubles, but it certainly has done more than St. Ives or Neutrogena ever has!
I still get some stares in the bathroom, though...
