Love your nail blog!!! But I thought I could be of sum help when it came to the skincare and ideas... You can create your own balms by warming up certain oils (like olive oil, coconut oil etc) and adding the wax from the honeycomb... I think you grate in like a tablespoon to every cup, but I forget.... and then add essential oils or let the plant steep if you find fresh.... like lavendar, tea tree, chamomile, breaking open the vitamin e vitamins that you can take as a daily vitamin, vitamin a/b etc... if you do some research you can figure out what your skin possibly needs.... I also use Vaseline to remove my makeup and sometimes b4 bed, it may be one of my greatest discoveries... natural face scrubs u can use are some kind of base oil, like olive oil, with either salt or sugar (try to use something more coarse tho) mixed with essential oils that haven antiseptic properties... After you mix them you can put them in jars and have enough for awhile... I have had to start searching for all of these more natural ways of doing things because for some reason I seem to be allergic to an ingredient in most lotions that come out anymore... It seems that most of the ones I am not allergic to come from small Amish communities and have all these natural ingredients and are not that hard to make!!! Just thought I would pass on some of my research.... <br />Also... there are lots of masks that you can make using stuff like papapya and honey and cinnamon and ginger... all things that are very good for your skin...<br />As far as comfort foods...pasta is relatively easy to make and can be made in about five minutes... you can do it with flour and water or egg, flour and water... and you don't need any fancy equipment... some you can just roll out little long "worms" between your hands like we did as kids to make the pasta or roll it out flat, cover with flour and fold in half then kinda roll it up.... cut it in half... move them side by side and cut your pasta into however wide you want... and tomato sauce is easy to make as well... there are millions of recipes out there on the web.... but i make mine and put it in my freezer and keep it forever... so I have ready made meals..... and as far as the pasta... you can dust it with flour and let it dry and then bag it up so you have your traditional meal.... <br />anyway.... hope this helps a bit...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624008850034230146.post-64278469046900502602012-01-21T15:16:14.448-08:002012-01-21T15:16:14.448-08:00Hi, Where are you we miss you. :-)Hi, Where are you we miss you. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326181053546051463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624008850034230146.post-63351294173016013452012-01-06T19:06:40.886-08:002012-01-06T19:06:40.886-08:00Hey Melissa!

I'll always been interested in visiting India (the food!, the colors, the henna. . .) so it's awesome to read the first-hand experiences of an American over there. I'm glad to hear you're getting used to it all!

I can go searching for it pre-made, or in the case of Mac & Cheese in a box, or I can make it myself. I've gotten pretty good at making alot of the things I miss from home. You eventually come to the point where those high prices wont' even make you bat an eyelash at them. You'll also learn to substute alot when cooking. <br />Best of luck and have fun in India!piggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662896695641693190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624008850034230146.post-1862306966187475942011-12-24T22:14:42.100-08:002011-12-24T22:14:42.100-08:00Grew up with a family from India next door...this ...Grew up with a family from India next door...this makes me miss them & glad they were here ;)Looking forward to reading about your adventures!Mark,Suzanne Vainnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003429002764770164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624008850034230146.post-17900541366945525172011-12-23T10:23:36.646-08:002011-12-23T10:23:36.646-08:00Can't wait to hear more about your experiences...Can't wait to hear more about your experiences in India!Mandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499410600498988235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3624008850034230146.post-15178986057568457292011-12-23T07:35:19.115-08:002011-12-23T07:35:19.115-08:00I look forward to reading your adventures in India...I look forward to reading your adventures in India!
