hey girls,

my arbonne lady is doing the 50% off this month so if there is anything you want lmk and i can order and then just ship it to you. it would definitely save.

tysm! i think i'd feel badly not going through my cousin tho - i wish the stuff was paraben free altogether - but i guess the low percentage is encouraging and better than anything else i'm using - *sigh*

Kelly, I read that all of BE stuff is paraben free with exception to their mineral veil. So, I am just sticking to that since it is what I use.

So make up is good
shampoo/body wash ordered and switching over
nail polish - going to try http://www.safenailpolish.com/

im off nailpolish altogether - lol.
i'm going to look at this site though.

Ok, people are going to start to think I am crazy, but sunscreen has been on my radar for a long time and it pisses me off when I read crap.

Some sunscreens absorb into the blood and raise safety concerns. Our review of the technical literature shows that some sunscreen ingredients absorb into the blood, and some are linked to toxic effects. Some release skin-damaging free radicals in sunlight, some could disrupt hormone systems, several are strongly linked to allergic reactions, and others may build up in the body or the environment. FDA has not established rigorous safety standards for sunscreen ingredients that fully examines these effects.

Soooo, what sunscreen will you use? I currently use the arbonne baby sunsreen on the girls. Basically anything that leaves that oil slick behind has mineral oil in it.

It ticks me off that most do not even know what mineral oil is and that it is allowed in our make up
ineral oil or liquid petroleum is a by-product in the distillation of petroleum to produce gasoline and other petroleum based products from crude oil. It is a transparent, colorless oil composed mainly of alkanes (typically 15 to 40 carbons) and cyclic paraffins, related to petroleum jelly (also known as "white petrolatum"). It has a density of around 0.8 g/cm³.^[1] Mineral oil is a substance of relatively low value, and it is produced in very large quantities.

i'll be using burts for sunscreen, but need more research first for sure. i like CA baby too for sunscreen.
