Cranberries are my favorite things on the table during any feast. I will eat them with just about anything this time of year. I simply steep them with oranges and a bit of sugar and some cloves and they are good in a salad or as a side dish.
Bring it~
Wishing you all the best during this day and may all your dreams be as real as the feast you are already receiving.

This Is The Hairy Fact
rough list
I am including everything, even off the shelf store stuff
here goes:
shampoo
Giovani~ makes my hair flat and oily, fake scent
Burts Bees Pomegranite~ Too expensive and make my hair dry, fake scent
Whole Foods Unscented 365~ Clean fluffy hair, a little drying and not in love with the lather
Alafia Shea butter shampoo~ hate the lather, leaves the residue, natural scent
John Master's Zinc shampoo~ Love it, makes my hair clean and shiny, not too oily, or frizzy, I think the scent is fake
Avalon Organics Shampoo~ eh, for like 5 dollars less I can get 365 shampoo with the same ingredients:) and twice as much shampoo. True! I like it ok, the lather is flat and it does leave a bit too much residue on my hair.
As one can see, shampoo is an issue if you are looking for a 100% natural hair washing. Most shampoos are created with sodium laurel sulfate and fake scent. The sls can cause cancer if there are allot of sores on your head and you find yourself scratching all the time, stop using that stuff as soon as possible, like now.
What to do?
I know, I know, you can rinse with vinegar and use baking soda..I am not always in the mood for apple cider vinegar. Clay, you say? Wonderful, fluffy hair, a bit drying and takes two weeks to finally rinse out of your hair. :)
People ask me why I do not make shampoo.
Well, for one thing, I am not a chemist. I can buy a pre-mixed "natural foaming agent for hair" and call it my own, which seems like a hassle.
The only benefit to that would be the scenting issue, which I am all for natural scenting in shampoo, that is for sure!
Back to what is real is that I am using right now, Natures Gate Tea Tree Shampoo. It has SLS and some sort of tea tree scent in it.
Next shampoo ready to be used will be Giovani's Body and Hair Shampoo with grapefruit oil. We will see, Giovani! We'll see!
Friday I will rinse all that crap out of my hair with vinegar and start fresh.
Next issue is all about face creams:

Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Yes, time to rest your weary bones and stay home for a spell and make yourself some food and share it with your brood.
Now is the time to inhale of life's brilliance and withdraw from fear
withdraw from pain and shame, you hear!
It isn't just a bunch of hullabaloo. Just ask for it and it comes to you. From now on the words I speak with heal, prosper and adore you and myself.
I think as all the astro stuff goes direct in 2011 and takes us on a lovely journey filled with Uranus and Jupiter getting us all fired up in Aries. Yumm
Neptune going in to Pisces by April is really cool and of course Saturn in Libra for a spell.
Let's shine in all ways and explore new ideas in skin care.
I think I am going to compose my own list of favorites.
I think that within the last two years I have developed some structure and can honestly say I have a "line" of products focusing hand made soap.
Limited-edition, because oils change every year. Yea, sure, I can do peppermint with oats and Eucalyptus pretty consistently, but not patchouli or even vetiver. Here is where the true flavors, the auras of scent truly wake up our senses and change with each season. Undaunted, they develop in to crisp smells that warm you from your nose to your toes.:)
(never to underestimate the power of peppermint to sooth a headache)
Happy Thanksgiving to you, and may your companions be of cheery mind and and may all your feasting be merry.
