things i thought i’d never say…

… but all those years of tearing through clever magazines declaring “the best beauty secrets are in your kitchen!” have finally worn off.

between the dry air of vail + the humidity of chicago (+ the gratuitous sun exposure all around), i’ve been itching to find a fix as i molt like a snake.

lo + behold, this weekend my (vanity) shelves were bare. as i shuffled, dripping wet, from bath to kitchen, it seemed perfectly natural that i’d grab one of the dozen bottles of extra virgin olive oil in a pinch.

(admittedly) odd + (shockingly) light + (unsurprisingly) effective, i think i found a new recruit to my beauty arsenal.

(since apparently this is old news - w/ the likes of sophia loren swearing up + down that olive oil is it in the beauty dept - there are lots of tips floating around to include some lemon juice in the mix… sounds sold for summer)
