The Color of the Lorax

So, I have heard that tumeric is great for your face. People from India eat of lot of tumeric and the women use it on their face as a mask.  I found a recipe for tumeric, honey and yogurt. I didn't have any yogurt but I had whole milk kefir.  Kefir is better for you than yogurt so I knew I was good to go.   I mixed it together, put it in a glass container and off I went to take my bath and relax with a face mask.  I smear it on my face and my arms and start to rinse off my hands and realize my hands and arms are yellow.  YELLOW!?  Oh no.  I grab my rag and wipe off my face and arms.  I then grab soap.  Well, something in the soap interacts with the tumeric and it turns a really weird orange.  Like blogger orange.  I start to panic.  What am I going to see when I look in the mirror.  In fifteen minutes I need to be out the door and run errands.  So I let out the water and as it is draining I realize that the tub is orange.  OH NO!!! My husband is not going to be happy with me.  So I call to my daughter and ask her to bring the tub cleaner and scrub brush and of course she is all like "what did you do?" She can tell in my voice something is wrong.  I won't say a word.  "Just bring me the cleaner",  I ask. Well, that did not work.  Nothing, it did nothing!!!  I do not like bleach and the only reason I have it in my house is because of the litterbox for our kitty. But I am so thankful for bleach. So I ask Anna Caryn to bring me the bleach. "Mom, what did you do?" she asked.  "Just bring me the bleach and maybe I will let you see",  I tell her. She brings me the bleach and I let her see the tub.  "MOMMMMM,  you are in trouble!!!!"  she begins to tell me and laughing at me at the same time.  So I poured some in and swished it around and YES!!!  It worked.  Oh my, am I so happy. Let's just say because of bleach I am still married.  Okay, that may be taking it a little too far because my husband is the most gentle man I have ever known.  But that was not fun.  So, now I know where the Lorax gets his color from.  He must eat alot of tumeric or bathe in it because I kid you not that was the color of my tub. 

 

Shalom!!!
