I was watching one of those lifestyle talk shows last week and saw a segment with a beauty expert giving out tips on multiple use beauty products. One of her tips was to have baby powder on hand because it can be used for many things, not just diapering our infants.
I have been using shea butter for a long time. I have been part of an African hand drumming group for many years and shea butter is what we use on the skin of our drums to keep it soft and supple.
Before I go any further, let me get one thing straight: hemp and marijuana are not the same.
