What The Heck Is In Avon Skin So Soft? More Toxins Thats What

I can't count the number of people who tell me that they use Avon's Skin So Soft as a "natural" bug repellent...
No wonder the stuff repels bugs, just like many other products from this notorious pink-washing company, it is laden with synthetic toxic chemicals.
No wonder it repels insects, the ingredients would leave me running for cover too.

So what the heck are the ingredients in Avon's Skin So Soft?
Since they have a number of different formulations to choose from,
I will choose two of the most popular products:

SKIN SO SOFT Original Bath Oil Spray
Description: White lily, lavender and notes of sparkling citrus create the rich woodland scent that makes ORIGINAL a classic & an AVON Customer favorite. Keep skin moisturized with the softening, smoothing benefits of SKIN SO SOFT in a seemingly weightless formulation. 5 fl. oz.
White Lily, Lavender & Citrus...All lovely and natural right? But wait! What the heck? There are no white lilies, lavender or ev…

Make Your Own All Natural Glue | Glass, Paper, Fabric, Ceramic, Wood It Sticks It All

Glue is necessary for so many projects yet most glues contain toxic ingredients
Yes even ones labeled as "Non-Toxic".
We have been making our own completely natural, practically edible glues for many years and have had great success gluing just about everything to anything.

Here are my basic recipes for all types of glue:
Basic all purpose liquid glue:

Basic Glue
Add 3 tablespoons of boiling hot vinegar to 1 teaspoon of gelatin. Beat rapidly with the fork until no crystals remain and it is a bit frothy. Use in a liquid state and paint on just about anything. Dries hard, slightly flexible and clear.
Ceramic, porcelain and pottery glue
Add 3 tablespoons of boiling hot vinegar to 1 teaspoon of gelatin. Beat rapidly with the fork until no crystals remain and it is a bit frothy. Add in 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and stir. Use while warm by painting (with a small paintbrush) both edges of the broken porcelain or clay dish/ornament with the mixture. wait a few seconds and stick the pi…

Blue Lump On Forearm | Superficial Blood Clot Or Lipoma

About 2 years ago I went to my doctor with a
lump in my forearm.
He felt it was a superficial blood clot,
didn't seem very concerned and left it at that.

There is no pain at all in this lump, no heat or swelling either. It does not seem to be attached to anything under the skin and is blue-ish in color.
Since that time the lump has slowly grown to twice the size. It is now the size of a green pea but more flat and sort of firm but not hard, perhaps more like the size and texture of a cooked lentil...ok strange comparison, I know. If it wasn't for the color I would think it would more likely be a lipoma.
Everything I have read about superficial blood clots say they go away withing a few weeks, tend to be tender, hot or can have pain...so after having this lump for about 2 years, with none of the other symptoms, I wonder what it could be? I may get another opinion sometime this summer, but for now, I'm just putting it out there for opinions. :)
Sorry for the baggy sweat…
