Baking Soda for What?

I have yet to jump on the "beauty tricks from the kitchen" bandwagon. Frankly putting mayo in my hair and smelling like a sandwich for a week does not appeal to me. Nor does putting eye yolks o my face. Some things are just silly. I can however appreciate a couple cucumber slices over my eyes when I am sporting black circles(which is much to often) but I have also come across another well kept secret that doesn't leave me wishing I hadn't given into the vinegar make your hair shiny idea I got from my sister. Baking soda as an exfoliate. I can dig it, no smell involved and it is the perfect grainy consistency you want from any exfoliate. Not to harsh. This was my test before getting my ritual self tan last week and I'm sold. It kept my skin soft, with zero odor and it's like $1 per box. Give it a try, not much to lose...and I hear it's good for aging. Never hurts.
