Freebies for me!!

I like second hand stuff.  

But I love free stuff.  

One girl's trash is another's treasure. 
 
Last weekend, we took my husband's octogenarian parents to an Asian grocery store to buy fish. At checkout, my in-laws were given a free bottle of apricot seed kernel powder.  Based on the few English instructions available, you are supposed to make something like a tea out of it.  My mother in law had no interest, so she gave it to me.  Having little knowledge of it, I decided to read about it.  The first two Google articles talked about its toxicity, so there goes that idea. I opened the container to check out what was doing and I was pleasantly surprised.  Its a very fine powder, lighter than beach sand with a beautiful floral smell!!  Too good to add to the potting soil via the compost pile.  A few days later, we visited family out state and my stepdaughter in law gave me a bottle of sunflower oil that she accidentally bought at the grocery store and she won't use.  BAM! I see an opportunity for sexiness.  This afternoon, I got out one of my cute little jars and i mixed up a luxurious bath scrub to take into the shower with me.  It left my hands super soft, I'm pleased to admit.  I used a very tiny bit on my face to counteract the light Retin A peeling I'm currently experiencing.  Its absolutely the most beautiful smelling stuff ever and I'm looking forward to regular use! 

See?  Doesn't have to cost a fortune to look and feel good!
