Did you know?

I like learning new things. I thought this would be kinda fun to add random facts about stuff that is either good or bad for you and the environment~so I'll start with something and the next person follows:

Did you know? that 1 tsp of white sugar shuts your immune system down for 5 hours. leaving you suseptable to all kinds of virues and bacteria.

Omigosh I have one teaspoon of sugar or sweetener in my tea!! I'm guaranteed to have one cup or tea in the morning and maybe one or two throughout the day.

I haven't got a fact to add. Where the hell do you find these things out?

How about using honey as an alternative to white sugar? There are natural ways around white sugar and fake sugar. Others are brown sugar and agave nectar. I have all 3 in my house and only use refined sugar when a recipe calls for it. Happy

Did you know that using a facial or body cream that contains mineral oil/petroleum oil/petrolatum only sits on top of your skin, clogs pores, and suffocates the skin cells? This is why some "moisturizers" are addicting--these oils actually dry the skin cells by suffocation so the customer has to keep reapplying. Jojoba oil, however, is great for the skin--the closest oil to natural human sebum.

Another one--did you know that vaccines are 99% ineffective, yet endanger the lives of babies and the elderly?

Did you know that the scrubby grains in your face wash are more than likely tiny plastic pieces? They are one-use items that can potentially create micro-tears in your skin (even the apricot kernels in St. Ives do this, so stay away from that too), but even more importantly, they go down your drain and end up polluting the environment! Even plastic pieces that small are harmful.

Boo on me--I accidentally bought a scrub with these things inside. Never again!!! >.<

we use raw sugar, honey or veg glycerine depending on the recipe. white sugar is actually relly expensive, imagine that?! aspartemine is another and its in everything, literally. omg I did the same Witchy Rachie, I have sensitive skin, I think i lost a few layers and my face was raw and dry forever! cant forget good ol assholeflame, its not spelled that way but it sounds like that, its similar to asspartemine...LOL
