in the form of baby steps; born from one life altering documentary...Food Inc. has brought such awareness... in my journey for antibiotic free, hormone free, pesticide free, HFCS free, locally grown and a humanely raised food source of

The process is slow, the awareness is there and oh how I look forward to that next new path, that lies just ahead of me.

I have never had a great fondness for shoes or purses...

like a lot of women do. Recently though, I have come across something that is my equivalent to other women's fondness for purses and shoes.

goatsmilkstuff

Soap, my new found little treasure; organic goats milk and olive oil soap to be exact. The only ingredients in this lovely bit of soap. It feels as though I am washing my skin with silk. I wash my face and shave my legs with it. Something that would never cross my mind; with that other bar of soap and all the dry skin that comes with it.

With every order, three sample of different soaps are sent. With each sample I find a new favorite. My next order; goats milk, oatmeal and honey scrub. Now I know I will never touch a bar of that other soap again. If only I could convince my daughter other wise. After this soap arrived I immediately banished, the opened bar of that other soap, that was in the shower. The next day a new bar of that other soap, "poof"..... reappeared. She won't even try it.

Oh well, she does not know what she is missing... and did I say, more for me.
