COCOA
powder puff

I have always preferred chocolate in my stomach, not necessarily on my face–unless it got there on its way to my stomach.  But as my journey toward a simpler life continues.  I am fascinated by the foodstuffs that can be used for non-culinary purposes.  I’ve used coconut oil on my hair and avocado on my skin for a long time.  But did you know that you can use cocoa as a colorant in a food-based face powder.  I’d put on weight if I had to breathe in the smell of cocoa all day.  But, it will still make me look at what I wear on my face differently. Hopefully this next Call will make you look at faces a little differently too…
