aw i love love LOVE jack johnson. nothing chills me out like hearing his music.
i dropped by to tell you that i went to whole foods last week and splurged on the suki. i’m loving it so far, so light and smells wonderful. i don’t know if it’s doing any wonders on my skin yet (i have very sensitive skin) but i feel good knowing i’m not slathering junk all over it in the hopes of improving things. your suggestion came so well timed, i’d just finished my bottle of burt’s bees lotion and wanted something new to try. burt’s bees is ok but suki’s list of ingredients seems better and more targeted. anyway, rambling, but just wanted to say thanks. it was pricey but hey! i’m worth it! ;)
