What can I say? Our argan oil IS the absolute best. Last month, when our argan oil order arrived to Canada from Morocco, Health Canada decided to hold it for testing.
“Why now?", I pondered. "This is a first." The answer will become clear in a moment.

Sugar scrubs can be delightful for the whole body, but I particularly like the idea for the lips. Whatever we touch to our lips, we taste, so it might as well be pleasant.
The following is a recipe (verbatim) I found in...

I remember meeting a customer from Somalia. This young man came to Alberta, Canada ( where it is especially dry) three years ago and experienced quite a shock to his skin. It was like a vacuum had sucked away all his moisture, leaving his lips dry, cracked, and bleeding. The doctor gave him Vaseline for his dry lips, told him not too talk so much and also advised him to keep his tongue father...

Potatoes can be used in developing pictures, as an alternative to plastic and in powering a clock!
