Lent - Day 6

I went to the Mall of America again today. While I was breathing in the taste of the new movies on the 4th floor, I noticed Shia LaBeouf in a poster for the new Wall Street. He was sitting there, acting like he was all grown up. Shia LaBeouf acting like he's grown up is akin to me wear high heels and a fancy dress. Who are we trying to fool, Shia?

Today, I am thankful for this aqua shirt because I like how it brings out the blue in my eyes.






















I'm holding my hand up against my face like that because I'm a big dork. (I don't need to find a more positive, Lenten version of saying the word dork because I love dorks, and I am proud to be one. I also love nerds, tools, and, occasionally, douche-bags.) I can't explain why I am holding my foot. There really is no explanation for that.

Note: You can also see what the haircut-that-nobody-ever-notices-that-I-got-my-hair-cut looks like. See... can't tell any difference, can you? It's the LAYERS, people! The LAYERS!

I am also thankful for this homemade deodorant that I've been using. Given my inability to take a shower on a regular basis, this stuff has actually been pretty amazing. It's equal parts coconut oil (like I really needed another use for coconut oil, right?), and shea butter, along with a little bit of baking soda and lavender essential oil thrown in. I love it.

Yum! That homemade deodorant feels delicious on skin, doesn't it?

You are not a dork, BTW.

I should try that deo.... I use essential oils from a spray bottle, but I bet my pits could use some moisturizing action.

You look awesome Allison. I have been wondering about homemeade deoderant. I have just been sans for some time but wanted something for the summer. Just so happens I have most of those things in my cabinet. THANX

Is there a particular place you are buying your shea butter. Your deoderant sounds like something I've been meaning to make for Bella's hair....well...except I wouldn't put the baking soda in it.
