I Don’t Think You’re Ready for This Belly

18.5 ish weeks:

 

January 2011 017

 

So, in other news, I have been doing a new skin-care regimen for several weeks and boy, oh boy, are you going to think I am crazy.  The regimen is described here.  Basically, I bought a year’s supply of grapeseed, castor, and tea tree oil (it might be more like 3 years supply of the tea tree oil) and I rub a combo of the three into my face every night and then wipe it off with a steaming wet washcloth.  My blackheads are gone, my breakout-prone areas are all cleared up, and my pores are much smaller than they were before.  I still deal with some pattern dryness, but I attribute that to the weather more than anything.  If your skin needs an intervention, I highly recommend it.

 

It seems like I am going more natural and dirty hippie all the time.  Cloth diapers, oil cleaning, no HFCS… what’s next?

It's not dirty hippie... it's just healthy for you and the earth. And there is nothing wrong with that.

Nice belly! Mine still resembles a jelly bean, and there will be NO photos without a shirt covering it.

Will you start separating all the recyclables like us? Oh wait your community is enlightened and actually allows you to combine them and they do the work... smart place.
Congradulations on your skin. you will appreciate it when you are 56.

Cute belly -- you look awesome!

Are you going to come visit during tax season? We actually have a real guest room for you and Charlie this time :)

That facial cleansing technique is intriguing... I might have to try it.

Maggi, we would love to come visit and see your beautiful house! Let's figure out a good date... pretty much anytime between now and April 18th :)

Stephanie said...

Yes you should definitely come visit!!! You can see my new house too!
And out of curiosity I tried the oil cleansing thing on Tuesday and I'm a believer. Amazing...

Anytime should probably work. My mom might be here sometime end of March/beginning of April, but don't know for sure -- her schedule is pretty flexible. Just pick a date that works for you, and we'll make it work
