Intro and Vitamin D?

Hello naturalliving

I'm a college student who has left the home and all my mother's smart advice on organic living.

She is obsessed with being healthy and finding the best products to do so.
I am doing my best to turn over a new leaf ( away from late night pizza and not cleansing my skin before bed and so on and so on)

Its time to grow up.
I am a vegetarian and am thinking about becoming vegan

Thats just a little about me.

Now I was wondering of you know any good curs for stretch marks? I've used cocoa butter to no avail and read about Vitamin D...?
Also fake tanners ( which I do NOT want to put on my skin!)
Any suggestions?

Integrating With the Natural Medicine Community

I'm sure many people in this community have holistic healing practices. I just got certified as a Guided Imagery Practitioner and will be building an integrative mind-body therapy practice. For those of you in the natural "healing arts," are there websites or directories you've found to list your services and connect with like-minded practitioners? I'm so excited to get started!

Thanks!

When I asked my first customer of the day what he was shipping, he responded with "I don't know, I think perfume and clothing".
I responded with "I can ship the clothing, but the perfume cannot travel from here. It is considered a lower class of hazardous material" (ORM-D).
"Let me call my wife and ask her what's inside, can I use your phone?"
At this point he forgets his phone number, and runs out to his car to see if it's written down. In plain view of the front door, I can see him frantically searching and not finding anything.
"Let me see the phone again"
He tried a few numbers, but no one picked up. Looking at the ground, he said, "They're just toys. No perfume inside".
"No perfume?"
"No...just toys"
"You did not talk to anyone."
"No, I was just calling my friend Brian"
"You did not say anything"
"No, he was on the line"
"I was right here. I know that you did not talk to anyone. You are lying to me... but I will go ahead and humor your request."

A toy does not smell like perfume, nor does it sound like a thick glass bottle when it hits the ground.

My very next customer was more than willing to look me in the eyes and tell me she was shipping adult toys and a web cam to an out of town friend.

Honesty continues to be the best policy.

Cleaning Bones

Is there a natural way to clean bones that does not involve bleach? I was thinking I might like to make our turkey wishbone into a Christmas tree ornament this year, but I don't want to attract ants or roaches.

OCM

Just wanted to share... I have oober sensitive skin that overreacts to everything, unless I leave it alone. Luckily, I learned this early, and simply splashed my face a few extra times in the shower. However, as I am fast approaching my thirties, I realize I should be doing more to safeguard my skin from the ravages of time.

So, I tried OCM using 50/50 castor and olive oils. Hated. Every. Second. As well as the following explosion. Last night, however, I used olive oil into which I'd infused lavender, chamomile, rose, comfrey, and calendula. (Well, I infused lavender, chamomile, and rose in a jar, then comfrey and calendula in another, and mixed them after straining.) Anyway, my face is so happy, smooth, and moist without being oily! Blackheads: gone! Also, I don't know if it was the OCM, or the calendula and comfrey, but my surprise lines visibly reduced, and I can't feel them any more when I rub them... yes I'm obsessed, I know at least half of you are, too. Wonderful method!
