Feeling a Bit Better - Products!

I'm starting to feel vaguely human again.

Guy is going to talk things over with Sunny after school and will apologize for yelling. My mother is cooking dinner tonight, so I can relax.

Here's something to lighten the blog mood: a couple personal care product reviews for Sunny. I had an old draft post with more product reviews for things I use myself, such as Giovanni Straight Fast Hair Straightener, but I'm too tired to finish up all my recommendations.

These products (available at drugstore.com) are great because...

- they work
- the fragrance is not too strong
- they're not all just petroleum jelly or mineral oil
- they're cheap


Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Butter Deep Conditioning Body Lotion
Sunny needs a lot of moisturizing after every shower or bath. I used to buy a more expensive Aubrey Organics lotion, but it got used up so quickly. The Vaseline brand lotion works great, it smells good and it comes in a huge bottle with a convenient pump. I've tried a few other lotions in the same price range, but this one is definitely the best. It's powerful, and he has never had dry knees or elbows using this lotion.



Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream
Sunny likes his hair super-short. I cut it myself with an electric shaver. However, for the winter I've let his hair grow out just a bit in order to keep his head warmer. I used to use a dab of oil (again, an expensive natural organic mix) but that wasn't doing much of anything once his hair grew longer than a centimeter and little ringlets started forming. This Cantu hair cream is awesome and keeps his hair looking shiny and healthy. It needs to be reapplied every morning. It comes in a large tub, and only a small amount is necessary.
