Some of my Favorite things...
Can I say again how freaking awesome these are?
They are my new wedding plugs custom made by Will from Frozenfire located on ETSY.com
I highly reccomend them and wil buy them again.
TOO FREAKIN AWESOME!
Some more of my favorite things?
Claire De Lune Cloth Pads
I actually don't mind my period anymore. Seriously, I am going to buy more as gifts.
And lastly my eczema LOVES this new soap. Its Vegan, its got charcoal and gets rid of eczema and acne in one daily washing.
Its the Charcoal Eczema and Acne soap. She is currently making new Batches but Natural Body Spa by Spoiled Rotten Soaps is the bomb diggity.
And last but not least. Hair sticks that are a unique as you are by Night Blooming. A fellow Minnesotan (though I am now a NY transplant) Makes your hairstick dreams come true.
Can't say it enough. Buy from individual crafters and buck the system.

Bippster Balls
Prototype A.
I am going to look into knitted hair thingies too. But these come in Light Pink Stripe, Black Stripe and color shown.
I am trying to get my hands on Purple, blue and green.
These are metal free and wet knotted so as to last, no glue used, no place to snage delicate strands.
More to come...

Kind Outreach First Web Newsletter
Hey there, its JUNE and Kind Outreach is FREAKIN busy yo!
First and Foremost we have literature now in conjunction with VERA House and Spay and Neuter Syracuse to hand out to families relocated by domestic violence, displaced by catastophy or just down on their luck.
Also we have Info packs to give to schools and educators on Humane education and are still plugging away at a curriculum.
We are in need of leashes, kennels, old carriers, portable water bowls, animal themed coloring books, reams of paper, cameras/film, Ace Bandages, Sterile gauze,Newspapers, and dog/cat food. We are getting into kitten season and also are looking for foster homes and "scholarships" for neuters and spays.
If you can help us, give us a ring.
We want to have a Recipe Book (Cook Book) gathered with vegan/vegetarian recipes to sell for a buck or two for KOHEP's first of hopefully annual fundraising effort to support Spay and Neuter Syracuse, Vera House, Humane Association, Wandering Paws , and others too numerous to mention. If they help kids in crisis and the animals they love, we will help with whatever we can.
We are also trying to formulate a Can drive and Change for Change drive. If you or your business would like to host a can/change drive give us a rin and we will drop off a container or pick up your cans.
We will be getting ready to do some outreach at Summer Events and will be recruiting for volunteers! There are ferals to trap at Toomey and there are going to be kittens soon that need to be trapped tested and dealt with.
To save paper we will NOT be doing a newsletter but info will be e-mailed and available on our blogger site http://kindoutreach.blogspot.com
Speaking of the web:

Healing treatment for Eczema with Acne
Yes I know first hand how much eczema on the face sucks.
So here is something I did and I finally have a face that has no acne or eczema and a much happier scalp.
First of: Never use anything drying on the face. I use Pears Glycerin soap or Charcoal & Clay soap from Etsy.com and a cool washcloth.
Second: Always moisturize DIRECTLY after rinsing the suds of your face. I use Shea Butter, Almond oil, or Aveeno Naturals.
Third: Always use a gentle 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide lotion on existing and in acne prone places. ONLY once a day!!! I cannot stress this enough. Too many applications can exacerbate acne AND eczema.
Final: Drink lots of water. and Watch what you use on your HEAD. Shampoo, Hair color, Sprays,gels,mousses, can all cause your scalp and face to flare up. I have found Chagrin Valley Shampoo bars or Hesh Ayumix Shikakai Shampoo bars to be the best for me.
Good luck and don't scratch it!

Henna Recipe-Easy go rinse
So I have thick course hair and have had a dicken of a time getting the Henna mix the right consistancy.
So I came up with a recipe last night that seems to work really well.
You will need:
Amla oil OR 3 tablespoons AMLA powder with 1 tablespoon coconut oil/3 tablespoons coconut milk
2 cups hot liquid:
RED: Use Sandalwood, Paprika, or Cranberry Juice
BROWN: Use Tea, Coffee, or Black Walnut powder
1 heaping cup henna powder
1 drop patchouli, lavendar, cedar,or tea tree essential oil
mix in a glass or ceramic bowl
Use whatever is easiest to clean to stir it.
Cover with plastic wrap and let sit 6-8 hours.
Consistancy should be about "pudding" apply to dampened hair, leave on 3-8 hours.
Rinse out using conditioner, then shampoo and condition again.
Wait 3 days and before washing hair again.
