I hear ya junie...I feel that way about the mahina....it seems so out of reach and I want it so much that it seems an impossibility. Who knows though...probably take about 3 months of hard core saving...

ok here is the formula... now mind you, I have tried it with EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), but next time I make it I'm going to try Sunflower Seed Oil because I've been told thats even better for the skin:


  • Oily Skin: Try a blend of 30% Castor Oil to 70% Sunflower Seed Oil.
  • Balanced Skin: Try a blend of 20% Castor Oil to 80% Sunflower Seed Oil.
  • Dry Skin: Try a blend of 10% Castor Oil to 90% Sunflower Seed Oil.
If you find that your skin is dry, use more Sunflower Seed Oil and less castor. I mix and store my mixture in a clean four-ounce flip-top bottle for convenience. When you go to replenish your oil blend, I suggest cleaning your bottle thoroughly with dish soap or the dishwasher. Better yet, if you can replace the bottle, this is ideal. You want to be extremely cautious in introducing bacteria to the bottle.​

bl, actually the concept is this, oil breaks down oil. I was SUPER skeptical at first, but having tried it, I couldn't believe the difference it makes in your skin. DHC and MAC make excellent cleansing oils too, but they're a lil on the $$ side, esp the DHC.

that's cool. i actually tried oliveoil on a whim because i ran out of makeup remover late one nite....but it works great as a moisturizer too (and i have really oily skin). doesn't make me break out or anything. and then i used tea tree oil on breakouts. works great:tup:

you should start a savings ticker. it's kinda an encouraging thought when you log on here and can add $$ to it until you save up enough :tup:

dont feel silly MM. everyone has different goals, and if it helps you then i say 'do it!' i'd like to lose 5-10 ilbs too, but being stuck sitting down at a drawing table all day, not getting any sleep and eating a frequent intervals for energy aint helping me.

thanks for the recipe, gypsy! going to have to try that sometime!

a savings ticker for a mahina would be a great idea! and mm - you shouldn't feel silly if it keeps you motivated! gotta keep your goals fresh in your mind and if you're hanging out here and you see it often enough, you won't forget! =)
