Rosemary facial scrub

I was strolling though the produce isle this week and sample sniffed a rosemary plant. I brought one home and learned it’s not cold hardy. I’ll have to acclimate it as an indoor resident. Here’s a link for a Rosemary Sugar Scrup to try later.

Soon as I get an opportunity to take this quiz on hair porosity, maybe I’ll understand. Hair can be confusing. Here’s the link to Porosity 411 by SheaMo… Now I have curly waves with low-maintenance barbie-doll hair. Once a day, I’m pouring cold left-over coffee over my head just to see what happens.
