Here we have it easy.. Heaven forbid I run out of mascara.. The store is just a few minutes away.. Short drive and a couple bucks later and I'm back in business but it's just not that easy for some and that's very humbling. These villagers make use of what they have on hand and most of the time, they rely on natural oils and herbs and homemade remedies. They live very simply but so much work goes into making themselves feel beautiful and that's probably the most purest and natural way to go.. I love the morrocan portrait and the morrocan haiku. I'm also a fan of the argon oils as well as arnica oils which are produced by the arnica flower. Love what you've done here!
