While I was wasting some time online earlier today, I found this article about weird treatments for acne. Of course, I am all about using natural products when possible, but uh… nightengale droppings? Yeah, I think I’ll pass on that one. It made me think of a tidbit I learned in the 4th grade on one of our many field trips to Old Sturbridge Village. In colonial times, people would rub ear wax on the lips to keep them from chapping. All together now: Ewww! Aren’t you glad we now have Blistex? I know I am.
crafts + recipes + existential dread
Ear wax and nightengale poop. Yuck!!!!!!
I will stick to my Almay and blistex.

YAY for Blistex!!! LOL! 🙂
It’s funny that you always went to field trips to Old Sturbridge Village. My parents and I went there once on a family trip (when I was in college, I think). I hadn’t met you yet!
That reminds me of when I was doing research on old methods of birth control and I was just thankful we’ve come a long way since then.
