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.
