the real-beauty challange

If you get simple beauty and nought else, You get about the best thing God invents.
ROBERT BROWNING, Fra Lippo Lippi

I am sick of it all! Sick of all of those products out there that promise this and that. I will look younger is I use this. I will not have pimples if I use that. I feel like I have tried them all, and all of them have not worked for me. I have been fooled!

I am a lady into natural things. If organic, even better! When I have to go to the doctor I cringe when a prescription is written out! Rarely I will even get it filled. So when it comes to "beauty" I am heading back to nature. I am convinced that herbs, plants, fruits/vegetables and oils can be my answer to clearer, cleaner, softer skin.

So, here is my challenge to myself! I am going to stop using any beauty product that is not natural and simple. I am going to (only) wash my face with Dr. Bronner's peppermint liquid soap. This stuff is all one needs to even remove heavy makeup!

I have started a body detox... a cleansing from the inside. I found this system down in Shipshewana Indiana (Amish-land). A very nice Amish lady directed me to this when I asked about cures for my adult acne. It is a 15-day detox. So far, so GOOD!

So, there it is. My beauty challenge. Actually, it is more of a health make-over! I will report back on my status. Until then, what natural things do you use? What are you just sick and tired of??
