Nap Time

I took a nap today. If you didn't know, sleep is good. This article even has research to back me up!

However, I did not look this cute.

(Do you like the shoddy graphic I made?)

A sweet comedy starring Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton and Patrick Wilson.
I watched it with my sister, we chuckled, we held our breath and at some points, were, like, nooooo! at the TV.
I'm not going to tell you much about it because I didn't know much when I saw it and the surprising twists and actions of the characters are all part of the fun!

Homemade Moisturiser

Hi...... woah long time no post! I've been... busy? doing... important? things?

While being a busy, important person, I noticed that I have what might be eczema on my legs. This sucks. In addition to being a busy, important person, I am also a very stingy person. So I decided that it would be a FANTASTIC idea to make my own moisturiser for my self diagnosed condition. I also really just need a moisturiser because I haven't bought any in a long time.

So I looked at a few websites, these two in particular: How To Make Your Own Body Lotion and Make Your Own Moisturizer. Then I decided I was definitely ready to try this myself. I went out and bought the ingredients:

I read that grapeseed oil is good for all skin types and is easily absorbed into the skin, which would be great as for a while I was using pure jojoba oil as a moisturiser and was greasy as fuck. Grapeseed oil was also the cheapest option at $8 for a big bottle. Then I looked up essential oils for eczema and chose a couple of the cheapest: sandalwood ($12) and rosemary ($6). I realise for all this money I could have gone out and bought a really good moisturiser, but this will last longer okay? Theeen when I got home I realised I didn't buy distilled water. Bah. So I just boiled purified water, WHICH I KNOW isn't the same, but whatever. It's an experiment. If this is a total disaster, I can use the oil for cooking and the essential oils for baths. So, I mixed a cup of oil with some (I don't know how much I should have used, I put quite a bit in) not distilled water, and 7 drops each of sandalwood and rosemary. Of course oil and water don't mix so I don't really see the point, maybe next time I won't bother. But anyhow, this is the final product, in a very unsuitable container:

I put it on straight away, and my skin feels amazing. A little greasy. And I PROBABLY smell like a hippy. I might have put too much on to go out in public. But yay! It wasn't a complete trainwreck. And next time I'll make some adjustments :) There you go, kiddies. Moisturise away.

P.S. I hate Blogger. Maybe this is why I never post, ever think about that, Blogger?
