I am not down with party favor bags at kids' parties, either. I am giving you cake and more than likely, a craft and other food. I am not giving you a present as well. Piss off. And no - I don't have organic juice. Red dye Kool-Aid, Bucky. Drink it and love it.

I will say, I have never received anything in a wedding favor bag that was anywhere NEAR as pointless and annoying as what passes for favors at kids parties.

I'm suddenly wishing I made Avengers favor bags for the wedding.

Red dye Kool-Aid, Bucky. Drink it and love it.

I am amused. On the inside. Where the Winter Soldier would chortle too.

Two things, Epsom salts lotion isn't as laughable as I thought when I bought it. The Epsom salt soak in a mug isn't helping miraculously with the splinter in my knuckle though. A lot of my life revolves around Epsom.

I have a craft to make a snowman vase out of Epsom salts!

I worship at the altar of Epsom salts. And coconut oil. And bone broth.

Man, my needs are all about comfort.

Timelies all!

Ugh, I have this tickle in my throat that is making me cough a lot. I think I'm going to have to make a supermarket run for cough syrup.

What do you do with all these things?

brenda,

Epsoms salts...long, loungy baths while watching something on the computer. I use a step stool and a Mary Kay mirror to accomplish this.

Coconut oil...Pretty much everything at the moment. I made my own toothpaste, which I love. Put it in sauces. Fry with it. Use it around my eyes as a nighttime cream. (seriously reduced the crows feet, it has) Moisturize my hands.

Here is a nifty list of things to do with coconut oil.

Bone broth...I've always been a champion soup maker. It's a bit of a specialty. NOW? Off the chart flavor and nutrition. I cook up two batches from a couple of chicken carcasses and veg. Then, I take the filtered out bits, which have cooked for approximately 48 hours, such that the bones crumble when touched. I puree the mixture to make a soup thickener and put some in Cagney's food. By this stage, it is roughly free food.

eta: Todd and I had a brief conversation today about bone broth which featured the phrase 'chicken soup on steroids' as a curative. It's soooo warming and nourishing. I find a cup in the morning sets me up for the day.

In the last few days, I've made a potato and roasted garlic soup that is of the yum. Also, a cream of pumpkin soup that is equally delish...and really WAS free food as I was given the pumpkin.

Bone broth...

That's supposed to be fantastic for gut health. I haven't made it, but I'm thinking about it.

DO Steph. It's lovely for the tum. Plus, ridiculously easy in the crock pot.

Oh, and I put a couple of chicken feet...for the extra gelatin...in the pot. I've never, ever in my life purchased or even contemplated a chicken foot before. Now, I'm all about it.
