Third time's a charm--I hope.

Greetings and salutations all! My name is Ashley and welcome to my third blogging effort. I'm really hoping this one takes. Don't get me wrong, I loved the others, but they were superficial. Sounds funny to say that here of all places but my hope is that this will be a useful blog.

All my life I've had dry scalp, poor complexion, you name it. I read the beauty magazines, listened to my mom and the dermatologist but nothing seemed to help. Almost one year ago I moved away from Texas to go to school in Hawai'i. I've always wanted to do my best to take care of the environment (or at least minimize my damage). This is a hard goal in DFW but very easy in Honolulu. Sometimes it's easier and cheaper than buying otherwise! So I took this as an opportunity to experience and learn as much as I can.

And I have learned a lot in this year, so much of which directly contradicts what I was brought up to believe about skin and hair care. If I can do one thing with this blog, I'd really like to help others out there to begin thinking differently and learn to work with your bodies--not against them. Please kokua (cooperate)!
