A lesson learned

I still stand by the Barlean's Essential Woman oil supplement but I have discovered that figuring out the proper dosage is key.  I had been taking 4 capsules each night but my cycles were a little weird and I wondered if it was the supplement.  I was having NO PMS.  None.  Zip, zilch, nada.  No horrific mood swings or rage issues.  I switched to 3 capsules per night and the PMS anger came back with a vengeance.  Clearly, 3 capsules is not enough.  I have already gone back to 4 capsules.  But I still swear by the stuff.  Even more so now.  If one capsule is the difference between screaming, irrational anger and peacefulness, then the supplement is definitely working!  I have been recommending this stuff to everyone, especially moms of teens with bad PMS.  I really just can't get over the efficacy of a simple oil supplement!

Shea Butter?

I was talking to a friend a week or so ago and mentioned my fear of using shea butter.  Any time I use a product with shea butter in it I get itchy.  I've tried a couple of different body washes containing shea butter thinking they would be great for my dry skin but I just end up miserable.  My friend said she has the same problem.  I now stay away from things containing shea butter but I thought I would mention it.  I'm wondering how common this is.
