Hungry Hippo

When I fully transformed into my current state of Crunchy Granola Wholesomeness, I really started dropping cash on beauty (booty) products. Not that I really spend all that much on products now, just that I spent most of my youth being a tomboy--or least, not conventionally girly--so any amount of money spent now is far more than what I used to spend. Now I generally purchase "natural" products, meaning that the ingredients of my soaps, shampoos, moisturizes, etc. are somewhat identifiable substances. Much like my general attitude towards food, I prefer to know what is being absorbed into my body. More often than not, I find that this means the ingredients are things that can be eaten. For example, this evening, I slathered on a couple moisturizers that contain buttermilk, honey, chamomile extract, rosemary essence, coconut oil, sunflower oil, peppermint oil, and green tea extract.
Let's not forget the vitamins: A, C, E, and B5.
And the minerals: copper, zinc, and manganese.
Plus the polypeptides…don't forget those.
Holy bejesus! it's looking like the back of the Total cereal box. I'm assuming that all these things are good for my skin, especially since my face starts to tingle (pleasantly) upon contact with my nutrient-rich crème. With all this oily creaminess sitting on my face, working to hydrate, firm, and strengthen my skin, I feel pretty certain that at least my face won't get cellulite, despite the calories.
