Mineral Therapy

I’m browsing through my archives, getting all my backlog photos. This one is from October. It has been about more than a month since I finished this product:

st. ives mineral therapy moisturizing body wash, by bitsandtreats

When I first saw this Mineral Therapy Moisturizing Body Wash by St. Ives, I was intrigued. It looked promising knowing the quality that  St. Ives brings. So, I was really disappointed that it didn’t work for me.

First, the smell. It’s not too bad but I don’t like it either. Second, the feel is different from the other body wash variants from St. Ives. Third, it didn’t moisturize my skin. It actually made it itchy.

I didn’t stop using it because I didn’t want to just chuck the whole bottle. I told myself that maybe it will work. Well, the itchiness did not disappear. I still get some rashes after I take a bath. The moisturizing effect helped a little but nothing compared to the other St. Ives body washes that I’ve tried in the past.

I got this for a little over Php200. Right now I’m using Dove Go Fresh  Revive Body Wash in Pomegranate. It does not smell nice to me. The scent is pomegranate and lemon verbena. It has a bit of moisturizing effect, better than St. Ives Mineral Therapy. It doesn’t make me itch. It’s more expensive but I’d take it any day over the Mineral Therapy body wash. After this, I'm going to use my Sakura Body Wash from Watsons.



What’s your favorite body wash/soap these days?

    My current shower creme is Yves Rocher-Jardin du Monde. I love the cotton scent.

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

  There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it. If you want to read my thought about these products, just type them on my search bar. —- With elegance and quiet fire, Lady E Founder, Glow by Lady E...

Part 1: I Finally Had Enough of My Dry Feet and Did Something About It

  I have been annoyed with my feet for months. Not because there was anything particularly wrong with them. They were just dry . Really dry. And you know I have a problem with dryness (hello skin, lips). And somehow, despite noticing this constantly, I kept doing absolutely nothing about it. The moment that gets me every time is when I’m waiting for my son at piano class. I’ll sit down, cross my legs, look down at my slip-ons or sandals and there they are. My dry, flaky feet. Then I become painfully aware that there are other people sitting beside me who can probably see them too. 😂 Every time, I think, I really need to do something about this. And then piano class ends, life resumes, and apparently my feet are no longer part of my jurisdiction. Eventually, I had enough. I found this Mond’Sub Chamomile Foot Peeling Spray at KKV and decided that my poor neglected feet were finally getting some attention. The process wasn’t glamorous. There was peeling skin involved. There were bits...
