First Rant, eye make up

December 1, 2007
I am starting this blog to document what all has been happening over the last year and a half. Actually it is going to end up being rants about various things from my life about food, allergies, doctors, and other things that I have figured out that society and the medical profession are doing that are killing people and or making them sick.

Eye make up is the very latest one. While ranting about corn, someone on a list posted about eye make up. It sounds so innocent. Didn't they blind thousands of bunnies to make this stuff safe for us? Apparently there is arsenic and other nasty chemicals in the make up. I went straight to the net for research. My eyes usually get so tired on days I do readings, so I assumed it was the intense concentration it involved. Being a reader, you have to look the part and it involves a lot of eye make up.

So off to Whole Foods where I found a line called Zuzu, which works quite well. My eyes didn't get tired! Then yesterday off to Ulta and they had two lines. One had quite a bit of stuff in it, but one was pure mineral. It works nice.

When I was at Walmart, I was looking at makeup brushes as the ones in WF and Ulta were very very expensive, the woman working there proudly told me that they carry mineral makeup! I went to look and found the usual problem I will be ranting about a lot and over and over. Total junk with a bit of good stuff in it so they can say it is good and we fall for it over and over .

One woman who was looking at make up told me she was already so poisoned and had so many health problems that she might as well keep using junk. I do not understand that I do not ever want to!

When I was belly dancing, I used to trowel the stuff on for the stage. We used to spray our faces with hair spray to set it and it not sweat off while dancing. I can remember then that I sometimes wondered if this was a bad thing, but then there were all those blind bunnies.

I stopped using face makeup, lipstick, perfume, hairspray and all that when it became apparent it was causing me headaches and I went to just eye make up only when I had to. The sensitives grew over the years until I could only use unscented products.

Next rant will be shampoo and soap
