THE MAGIC OF OLIVE OIL

We have discovered olive oil soap. I tried it out and it is pretty nice. It comes in a bar, and is unscented...not a great scent..but very moisturizing. When I wash up with it, I feel like I should jump into a frying pan. We found some scented ones online and some liquid soap, so we are going to order that. Also found some olive oil body cream we are going to try.

I tried a bit on Maddox, and he didn't react. Hooray!! I have been rinsing his hair with vinegar water everyother day and that seems to help with the itching of his scalp.

Oh nice. I just realized I have hives all over my armpits while writing this!!! What the heck?!?!? Maybe the olive oil soap is not a good idea. I tell ya!! I have no idea what just caused that. Who knows.

Maddox is cute as ever. so smiley and sleeping a bit better...when I don't take fish oil. i am assuming he is allergic to fish. I am sorry Dr. Steve, but I will not be taking the fish oil, but I am taking flaxseed oil instead. i hope that is OK?

Well, I am off to figure out what the heck is wrong with me now and try to get rid of these hives. Always something at the Wiediger household. Thankfully nothing terminal or life threatening...just annoying.

Flax is fine. You could also try Hemp Oil. I take that as well. Supposed to be good for something. I take a perscription-strenght fish oil for my cholesterol, and I am smelling fish All the time.

Ginger's fish oil comes in a packet that we pour over her food. It is molecularly distilled and deodorized so that it doesn't smell....no fish breath. It also doesn't cause diarrhea at the super-mega doses that ol' Gingie has to take.

Fish oil. It's what's for dinner!

Now, that's more than you needed to know =)

Thanks for the advice Dr Steve. I will look into the hemp oil. I have heard that refrigerating fish oil helps to keep the fish taste down. I noticed that it didn't "talk back" to me when I had refrigerated it.

Cathy, I believe I have shared way more info than anyone ever wanted to know on this blog a number of times. Share away.
