End of story.

Flickr has a whole lot to answer for, in this case, the food tattoo pool. Thankfully, the hipster trend for cupcake tattoos is being replaced by the hipster trend for meat tattoos. They're not as classic as the BBQ tatt, but they're on their way there.

Low Methoxy Pectin and Calcium Lactate will hopefully allow us to stick this fruit together.

Why you ask? Well why not.

But you try to explain to someone who doesn't speak the same language as you about how a bond forms between LM Pectin and a Calcium source .



Thanks to Alex & Aki of course.

Cleopatra is famously said to have bathed in milk

Had she been alive today, and lived in Japan, she could quite possibly have also bathed in any number of other beverages followed by a mojito, peppermint or coffee body scrub and a corona beer facial

Cassandra Evanas details disturbing spa treatments and more here

I'm sure this is just the beginning of the iceberg in terms of the topic of food and beauty. But I'm interested in exploring this topic more. For instance Chinese have all sorts of beliefs in terms of diet and beauty, I've heard that turtle soup is believed to be good for the skin.

At a younger age, I rubbed egg whites and avocado and oatmeal and sugar on my skin, after having read do it yourself home beauty tips. It may indeed work, but it no longer interests me as a beauty therapy. If it does you have a look here

Point is people have long believed in the beautifying properties of some foods. For example, this website notes that carrots and tomatoes are good for your skin. Apparently Mormon's are quite into the whole food spa beauty thing. Food I use regularly on my body

- coconut oil
- almond oil
- sesame oil
- seaweed extracts
- kaffir lime shampoo

But obviously food can only achieve so much. I doubt tomatos and carrots can save the truly hideous, neither will being rubbed down in chocolate by a small asian spa attendant or having a coffee enema thank you very much. I read that Jane Birkin's daughter rinses her hair in coke before a photo shoot to give it body. But she does have nice hair to begin with.

I do find it amusing however that an increasing amount of food items seem to be turning up on spa menus. What is up with this, many of them seem to include highly indulgent foods that the skinny women having those spa treatments wouldn't dare eat themselves - "I'd never eat a pound of chocolate but I'll have you rub some of on my ass thanks" . Is it a form of vicarious food absorption?


what food do you use for beauty and why
