YIKES - what is my skin eating???

We welcome young ones too

For our sweet little ones

Special Menu: For baby's tender skin

BEWARE - Green is not always green!

Not all natural and organic products are what they claim to be - this purposeful concealing of identities reminds me of Agatha Christie's famously mysterious whodunnit "The Mouse Trap".

I invite you to WALK WITH ME on the path to purity and see what we shall find.

A purely delightful kiss

What can be more pure and enjoyable than a loving sisterly kiss?

Likewise, the JOY of PURITY is what ONE Group - CASA ORGANICA is all about.

“Go wash your hands

”

Mother knows best - at least she means best

How many times in your life have you washed your hands? Too many to count?

Do you know someone who has had his mouth washed out with soap for the offense of speaking out loud what was really on his mind?

Would you willingly eat dirt? If not - why not?

Does it have anything to do with purity?

"Purity: being undiluted or unmixed with extraneous material"

Ok, so I guess there could be "pure" dirt but any kind of dirt is usually not on anyone's favorite menu.

To be fair, there are also those who say - "Dreck reinigt den Magen"
Translation: "dirt cleans the stomach".

Being a deutsche Mama I would say that too when my kids were happily and enthusiastically making mud cakes - which is, I think, a glorious part of a little girl's life. As the saying goes - "you can have your cake and eat it too".

So you see, I am a lover of purity - with reservations.

A glass of shampoo bubbly anyone?

Now let's focus this lens on your shampoo

This is a test - (disclaimer: not recommended for kids) - please proceed with caution:

Step 1:
Grab a bottle of your favorite shampoo and drink it - down the hatch:
PROSIT - I mean it - I really kid you not.

Ok, I see you hesitate and you probably just called me something worthy of a soapy mouth-washing.

So, skip Step 1 and proceed to

Step 2:
Carefully measure 1 teaspoonful

of that same shampoo and send that down the hatch - repeat as needed.

Would that be more palatable? Yes? No?

If No - skip Step 2 and proceed to

Step 3:
Examine the label

on your bottle of shampoo and identify the culprit that stopped you from drinking yourself into an early grave.

"Und die Moral von der Geschicht' - auch deine Haut mag Shampoo nicht."

Sorry, the German in me just had to concoct this little ditty. It may not go down in history as anyone's favorite bon mot - but hey - inspiration called and I answered.

Translation:
""The moral of the story is - your skin is also screaming "YIKES! --- what are you feeding me???""

Does anyone remember the book "Der Struwwelpeter"? I remember it well - it has

Morals by the dozen

What's that lurking in your hand cream?

What to do? --- Become an ingredient detective, of course

You are well equipped to be an ingredient detective:
Your lens - the one you're reading right now - is your tool to
CRACK THIS CASE!

And remember - on your next shopping trip - pack YOUR LENS - DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT.

So - we grab the jar of hand cream - and no, we won't feed our skin anything until we have examined and identified

*THE LURKER*
hiding in the fine print on the label and - *YIKES* - in the jar itself.

When we're satisfied that what's in that jar is something our skin will be happy to eat, we shall proceed to slather the stuff all over ourselves - bon appetit.

Toxic ingredients: Who needs them?

Important!

We do not live in a sterile world

I am a lover of purity - I want to live a clean life, I want to be healthy - but when my kids invite me to a mud cake party - I'll take my place as the guest of honor and we'll fling mud around until it sticks - somewhere.

Aren't certain mud baths

not also a way of healing?

Thanks for visiting me at Casa Organica today, hope someone invites you to a mud cake party someday.

Love and laughter,

Monika

Looking good -- I can see major improvement. Now consider the Polaroid module with bigger photos to break up the text blocks with the smaller photos! I'll just have to try your product.

Just learning more about Casa Organica. May I offer a couple of suggestions for improving your lens? Why not include some Polaroids and perhaps blackboxes to organize your various modules into a smooth flow of ideas. 5*****
