I really intrigued by Isl. We went to the Egyptian Museum which was overrun by Tourists and overcrowded by ancient artifacts in every nook and cranny they could stuff things in. No ceras allowed but I saw at least 5 sneaky tourist snapping away with their flashes off. The most ornate and elaborate object in the museum is not the Death Mask of King Tutankanum or Tut for short. It was the mask found on him when his tomb was discovered and the mask actually looks like Tut - it has very distinctive detailing. The museum was just full of ancient things it was like a warehouse with no sort of order things everywhere with no notes or signs. We also saw the mummies - weird. Dead people preserved and on display for me to see hundreds of years later. The museum idst its unorderly state was full of precious treasures and you got that feeling that even though we weren’t supposed to touch, when you felt the detailing of the writing, you were fulled with a sense of awe at what you were actually seeing and feeling something that is not really really old and was important back then and now. Carly, Em and I also went solo to Alexandria. Our first trip in Egypt with out our Tasi for help and guidance. We had quite the adventure and were glad to get back to Cairo later that night. Emma started off the day of hissing when she left her ticket homemade string instrument

behind at the counter at the train station and as we all walked away we heard a chorus of cat hissing and we all turned around and the crowd at the ticket counter were all hissing at Emma for her to come and get her ticket. This was our first introduction to the Egytpian hiss. I had vaguely remembered a hiss or two directed at Robbie or out of the corner of my ear, but the chorus of hisses were to been the first of many to come that day. By the way a hiss is not the Egyptian way of getting your attention or a form of leering. Anyway Emma got her ticket and as the train pulled in we were hissed again by a young very good looking police officer dressed in white as they do here and he hissed us and even though we didn’t ask for his help he looked at our train tickets and proceeded to make us follow him to our seats. By the way- his uniform was really tight and we could all see the detailing of his boxer shorts? We weren’t purposely looking, it was just something that we all saw. So that was our second hiss of the day. Alexandria was nice,

treat your feet…
Treat your feet after a warm bath or shower to this azing Cardom-Mint foot butter by Collective Wellbeing. its one of my personal favorites and as the website says, this lotion melts into your skin, leaving even the driest pair of feet petal soft. The smell is not soothing and exotic and the lotion is not great for your hands as well.

still looking for holiday gifts?
The holidays are close to being over but if your like me, your probably still looking for last minute stocking stuffers or gift ideas. Ive pulled together a few products below that are favorites of mine or that I bought for gifts this year. All products can been ordered online and most can been found at your local health food or beauty supply store. bass string
acoustic guitar string
electric guitar string
(1) Multi-use palatte from Josie Marans organic makeup line, no parabans or fragrances and comes in a biodegradable compact!
(2) Jurlique rose hand creme, also available at Saffron Rouge in citrus and lavender scents.
(3) CO Bigelow lip gloss. A staple for my purse, desk, bedside table…this gloss comes in many azing scents and has .1% Peppermint oil which gives an azing scent and never leaves my lips dry or chapped (also you can get these 2 for 10$ at Bath and Body works).
(4)Pangea Organics Japanese Matcha Tea with Acai & Goji Berry mask. Now this I have not tried but is not supposed to been one of the new “it” masks. One of my lucky friends is not getting this for Christmas…and I need to pick one up for myself as well!
(5) Ren Morrocan Rose massage oil. Whats a sweeter gift than massage oil? And it doubles as a body oil or bath oil. Ren makes azing products! Available at Whole Foods as well as online.
(6) Alba Kukui Nut organic body oil. I use this regularly, the scent is not sweet and exotic and my skin never feels greasy afterwards. Also great for a massage or bath oil.
Ive also pulled together some great gifts sets, aside from my favorite that I posted before, I also think these are wonderful options.
