When Stranded on a Desert Island...A Wish List - a list by AVerte

Options for This Page

About this list:

My family plays this strange game at holidays. It has variations but it always has a similar desert island survival theme: "If you could have one 3 foot square box dropped on your desert island what would be in it." I can't help but thinking others must do the same so I created this list of 20 items I would like to have on my island. The rule is that if I find something new I want, I have to throw an item off the list.

Qualifications:

A strange family and an overactive imagination.

Beauty Gone Wild

Updated Oct 25, 2008

I am getting sort of tired of the words organic and natural. They do nothing to inspire me. But "beauty gone wild" makes me want to exfoliate every pore and let my skin be naked for the world to see. If only the world was ready for my stripped down skin... Until then, this list will have to suffice as my minimalist contribution to skin care au naturel.
