Recovering Product Junkie

What is our largest organ?

Our skin.

If this is so, why don't we take great care of it? Considering it's so large that you can't possibly forget about it, because it's like everywhere, but why do we neglect our skin.

Or maybe we do think we are taking care of it. We bathe, we put on tons of product to keep it moisturized, and we even spray on expensive perfumes to mask odors.

Since going natural (hair) I have been doing tons of research about what to use on my hair and what to avoid (blog coming soon). But this search has lead me to learn more about skin.

Before researching I was strongly contemplating buying ONLY organic/natural products but my eyes have been opened and now I am dedicated to that way of life.

While researching natural/organic skin products, this website fell on my lap, it is like the Product Bible. It's called Skin Deep it is an online safety guide for cosmetics and personal care products.

"Our aim was to fill in where companies and the government leave off: companies are allowed to use almost any ingredient they wish, and our government doesn't require companies to test products for safety before they're sold. "
LIFERS, get your list together! Pull out all of your daily product, go to this website, see what they say about it. Let's be more informed consumers.

Welcome Home!


Home is where the heart is.

Home is where you can kick off your shoes and relax.

Home is where you are comfortable in your skin.

Home is where you are the most confident.

Home is Here.


Here we appreciate our natural beauty.

Here we learn how to take care of our bodies, mind, and soul.

Here we grow big 'fros and lenghty locs.

Here we untwist our notions of beauty and then we retwist them into notions of who we naturally are.

Welcome Home
