You would die laughing if you could see me right now.
oh man, I have a homemade oatmeal paste slathered all around my eyeballs and lips. If I get snackie I just give a little lick. ooh lala yummy. haha! when its gets all crusty and stiff I give it spritz of water so i can crinkle my brow again.
Soooooo I have to tell you about this because as Dr. Phil would say...
This is going to be a changing day in your life!
I actually had to look that up because I am not the Dr. Phil fan I would currently seem to be :)
A couple days ago my sister-in-law Kristi posted how she had given her daughter an oatmeal bath to help her with her eczema.
this was her exact post... Grind 2 cups oats in the blender, dump it in the bath, soak for 20 minutes and it helps relieve the itching from eczema. What the book doesn't tell you is what a mess the bathtub will be after the water drains! (I've been reading "Ezcema-free for Life" to help my little Chloe with her itchy, rashy skin.)
By the way, Kristi has no clue I went on her facebook page and copied her status to share with you all :) I think she's soon to find out though!
Kristi if you're reading this I must tell you that this is like a huge breakthrough for me. THANK YOU!
I feel like the leper that's been cured of leprosy! yes yes it's that good!
So do you know eczema? it's a horrid never ending disease which does not go away. ever. I assume most people know what this is even if you don't have it, BUT just incase its this dry scaly itching peely yuck skin.
My eczema is extra painfully annoying as it is mostly on my eyelids and above my lip.
oh? you thought I wore pretty pink eye shadow because I think it looks all rockstar? Ha! hardly. And I bet you think I drink way to much kool-aid too? n.i.c.e, but no.
that my friends is my lovely eczema. And that is on a good day when I've been very careful not to wear eye make-up. Especially eye shadow. and mascara.
I could show you my collection of ointments that have been prescribed but I think you would find it highly uniteresting especially because they don't work worth smelly old beans. they might tame it but IT IS ALWAYS THERE.
and then I met oatmeal.
I love oatmeal. I used to eat it when I was smarter. I mean for breakfast not just in cookies :) and now I wear it. I grind it up in my vitamix then add a little purified water until its pasty and then its just me and the oats slathering away in perfect harmony! I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it!
I like how i can smell it on my face. Smells all earthy and wholesome. But most of all i like how I have my eyelids back!
I even wore eyeshadow for the first time in forever! WOOT!
Try it.
TRY IT!
you will love Kristi forever too.
<3 you Kristi!!
P.S. - Katie sung this song to me in my car tonight... so this ones for her :)
and what is this you ask?
Dare I say sunrise? I woke up at 5:30 am to photograph the moon. Decided I liked the sun better.
and here is just this one more swirly photo of Kassidy that somehow only made it onto facebook. Well, until now :)
<3 !!!!!!!
