Burt's Bees is being bought out by Clorox.

And just after my budget got stable enough to buy their products. :/

*sigh*

Unlike most of the posters there, I'm not so worried about the 'sell out' to a 'polluter' company so much as worrying about 1) Them following (or not) the original intent/spirit of the letter/actual processes that the compnay originally has/had and 2) Keeping the ingredients natural, consistant in quality and effect, etc.

At this point, we're headed towards another bout of company monopolies--trying to stop the absorbtion of smaller companies by larger ones, especially with an ill economy in full swing, is like trying to stop high tide in a hurricane. It ain't gonna happen. So the worry and focus should be on the rest of it.

I'll probably keep buying for a little while--until the products get 'industrialized' with cheaper-to-make chemicals, and/or they start tearing up the environment. Until then, I'll hope they see more than just dollar signs, blind hope as that may be.

Okay. I didn't die in class. (Obviously, because I'm typing this).

But...wow. I only thought I was pushing myself at home. Boy was I wrong.

BUT! I survived. And I managed all the exercises, even though my thighs, back, and currently pelvis (yes, you heard me right-- my pelvis for god's sake) all told me what an unfeeling bitch I am.

Anyhow. LOL!

I am the ONLY adult student he has (which means I'm essentially getting private lessons right now) XD. And he worked me hard. And I found all my 'you have no stretchy spot here' places...as well as stretchy spots I'd forgotten about but still function just fine.

I'm not sore. Yet. But I am vibrating. And OH GOD SWEATY! But it was fun. And good. And stuff. :D

Also...he offered me a semi-job in the afternoon--helping at the front desk before classes. O.o

Anyhow...had fun, laughed a lot (yes, I laughed and Master Lee was fine with that), and am not ded (yet).

I think I like it.
