When Your Extra Virgin Olive Oil Isn’t So Wholesome
I used extra virgin olive oil in my oil cleansing routine, and I broke out like a 13-year-old would if they washed their face with bacon pizza.
That is not an uncommon complaint, although it’s not the rule. Occasionally, extra virgin olive oil receives raving results on the oil cleansing page. This problem is more than vexing, because we’ve all heard – for years – about how healthy extra virgin olive oil is, for your insides and your outsides.
But, finally, after a year of pondering this quandary, science has come through and delivered what I think may be at least part of the answer to the extreme ranges of success that extra virgin olive oil exhibits.
Lest you think the information I’m about to share here only applies to you if you use the oil cleansing method, it does not. What I’m about to present to you should absolutely, 100% change the way you shop for olive oil … even if you’re just eating it.

Moisturizing Bath Candy: THE Hot Valentine Craft
Timing is really everything, isn’t it?
Were it not for timing, a delicious sequence of events that brought you to a special place in time, you wouldn’t have met your significant other or even your best friend. Without the right timing, with your moods and your perspective on life, your favorite book or blog wouldn’t have meant nearly as much to you.
Without timing, this fantastic bath candy might not have happened on Crunchy Betty. The exact same day I received two emails requesting a crunchy idea for Valentine’s Day, I received my Secret Santa gift from Hilda Blue. Within it contained these magnificent creations (all her idea, straight from her beautiful brain – stop by her blog and tell her thank you)!
I played around with her idea and mixed things up a bit, but it was all her epiphany. Crunchy goddess, that one.
