GL confession...

SDgirl22

I bought self-tanning lotion yesterday...so freaking packed with crap and chemicals. But I have a wedding next weekend, am ghostly white, and I refuse to do tanning beds/lay out in the sun. It's only a week of lathering on the crappy lotion, but I feel SO freaking guilty.

I hang my head in GL shame.

Why do you have to be tan for a wedding?

You're right...I totally don't. I just hate how white my legs look in my black and white dress. It's totally vain...no doubt about that.

I bought Campbell's cream of mushroom soup for a recipe.  That's the most processed food I've bought in a long time, and probably the first in a year or more with HFCS.  This casserole better be freakin' awesome...

Did the recipe specify Campbell's? You can make your own cream-of-mush soup base with some water, bouillon (I use Trader Joe's stock concentrates), cornstarch (you can get non-GMO) and mushrooms. That's what we use for green bean casserole b/c of MSG and wheat sensitivities in my family.

 

OK I'll stop being the Confession Patrol now. :z

I can't get the hang of Dr. B's for hand soap because it doesn't feel slippery or like it's actually cleaning.  I think I'm the odd one out on this.  I bought some Method handsoap to refill our dispensers until I can find a better solution.  It still has SLS, but it least there isn't Triclosan.

I have 2 sweet rain barrels.

I don't have a yard/grass (great for me, minimal maintenance) and don't like dirt so I won't be gardening. What exactly am I going to use the water for? Not sure. All I know for now is that I'm sparing out sewer system a small amount of water each time it rains.

Hey Bula- I never see you 'round these parts! (waving hi!)

I sent an email to Publix corporate complaining about how their "Greenwise" meat selection keeps getting smaller and smaller and how they're out of the grassfed ground beef every other time I go in. They forwarded the email to the manager who called me and acted so nice and so sad....like I'd hurt his feelings I'm in there like every other day and it was like he was so hurt that I didn't live up to their expectations. It made me feel bad.

Some sun is actually good for you, you know? A lot of adults have vitamin D deficiencies because they don't get enough sun.

While there is definitely a point where you reach "too much", laying out in the sun to get some color is good for your body and your emotional well being

We pretty much all have vit. D deficiencies here in Seattle! But self-tanner doesn't help with that. They should put vit D in it! That stuff smells sooo bad though!

I know...the kind I got doesn't smell horrible though.

Actually, my doctor told me about the Vitamin D thing and said I should be on Vitamin D supplements since A. I'm fair skinned and wear sunscreen all the time so my body doesn't absorb it and B. live in the PNW...so not a ton of sun. Living in CA for 28 year though? too much sun!

waving back to you SDgirl. I've been posting sporadically these days- busy schedule and the typing requires too much effort. Haha.
