Holy Aphrodite! It’s the Taurus Moon and THAT time of the month. I am totally grazing and it ain’t grass. Still, the Taurus Moon, other than increasing all of our appetites is so Sensual & Grounded, the ideal opportunity to earth oneself. Seriously, get near some ground, lie on the lawn, do some gardening, go a bit herbal…this is your tranquility zone before the Eclipse. The Gemini Moon kicks in for the weekend & Saturday has an insane amount of aspects.
It may be my Ceres transit (it and Saturn are opposing my Chiron) but i am going ape about toxic showercurtains and poisonous nail varnish. I got a new shower curtain & just freaked at the smell.
Yet a damp hemp thing hanging in the bathroom would fuq my Feng Shui for sure. And I saw the podiatrist the other day – a plain spoken Aries lady – and she said something akin to ‘wear toenail polish for a special occasion if you are wearing open-toed shoes and take it off the moment you get home.’
I have The Uranian lurking around again & so if i get home in open-toed shoes etc etc, there is no way i am going to be skulking in the bathroom inhaling also-toxic nail varnish remover removing it the moment I get home. I thought the whole point was that you get to wiggle red toes attractively in your sheets etc. There is simply no such thing as an organic nail polish – it’s basically car paint for people. Alternatives; hippy henna or haute hippy neem oiled and buffed by podiatrist. Nail salons these days are as common as McDonalds. Maybe it’s a saturation thing. But is there a non-poisonous shower curtain anyone knows about?
And anyway, the Taurean Moon is always truly fabulous for Tree-Hugging…Let’s do it.

Have seriously never thought about how toxic nail polish is…I LOVE this photo of Marilyn…
-
Get the food thing at the moment.
I like my toes colourful just spent a month with none on first time since my teenage years. Pity there wasn’t something that was fruit or vegie dye origin.
Those green (or any colour) shopping bags smell so vile they have to be evil. Could you have a glass screen installed?
-
I’d forgotten about the smell of shower curtains. I’ve had glass showers with sliding doors for years….completely by accident as i’ve been renting forever.
The last shower curtain i got was about 12 years ago and was truly awesome though it was clear with a map of the world on it….
-
I love my toenails painted… but like to take a break from it over winter when no one sees them… And I love that PVC smell! Reminds me of summer, getting a new beach ball, or lilo as a child..
(PS.. dear MM, one grazing substance for ‘that time of the month’ I can highly recommend is Green and Black’s Organic Dark Chocolate with Dried Organic Cherries…. OMG, it’s to die for! Fabulous with a nice domestic Pinot Noir..)
-
I have a plain white fabric shower curtain that I bought from Woolies. Cheap as chips and always looks crisp and clean. When it starts to get a few stains I bleach it or chuck it and buy a new one. I don’t like PVC ones
-
surely a nylon shower curtain is less toxic than a pvc one?
buffed nails are nice (espesh if you have beautiful hands and feet), but not as sexy as red ones peeking out seductively from sheets… also you can get that cutex nail varnish remover which is slightly vanilla scented and not as harsh as those others (non acetone too)
-
do you need a shoWer curtain? i mean the answer is probably yes but you could always mop up after by throwing an old towel on the ground and swooshing it around with your foot. then towel on clothesline or in the wash…Keeps the floor clean too…
-
i agree, you don’t need one, sure the floor gets a little wet if your not careful but its the bathroom, who cares.
-
-
Is a dark moon/taurus moon an appropriate time to make the call to move out of horrendous house situation? The situation deteriorated somethingshocking last night, and I ended up in my room sobbing….
Re toenails – I haven’t been diligent lately (its winter, noone see’s ‘em) and I wore pointy shoes, and my baby toenail cut into my next toe and I bled all through the shoe!! Lets just say I very quickly gave the peds some attention!
And re shower curtains – I like Ikea ones, they come in all sorts of colours, and are nylon I think…. fully washable, so just like new flanny pjs they get sent through the machine with eucalyptus oil, then put to use! But like 3xCC, I’m a renter and have had glass dividers of various shapes/sizes for a while now….. Gave away my last shower curtain….
-
soz postmodscorp, didn’t see your post before i did mine re Ikea.
-
Horrendous house situation – you poor thing. I hated share housing, i think i’d prefer to live alone than share house. Could you do it solo?
-
Hi there Postmocernscorp. Dreadful that you ended up in your room sobbing. But remeber it is the batty eclipse season and troubled souls (like yourhousemate) are goin to be more batty than normal. And even more high maintenance. FWIW, I reckon apres eclipse (22 July) is a beter time to find a new house. or, is it poss to ask her to leave? Is that doable? Give her a month’s notice, by which time she has to be out…. Sending good vibes and chicken soup. Its never good to end up in your room sobbing. Hugs, Motown
-
Oh, eclipse season……. I’d been riding it so well I forgot others out there may not be…
I am happy to be leaving – lots of other stuff impacting, but So totally able to put the new house hunting off a few days – more time to stalk the internet sussing options and doing suspicious drive by’s of where I WANT to live……
-
-
Thanks FF – I can stretch it, but do enjoy living with another most of the time, enjoy the companionship… right now, I’m all about getting another house, bugger the cost, and organise share person later…..
And no probs re multiple postings with the same idea!! I love Ikea for soft furnishings….. always have coniptions buying the furniture, but the other stuff is great, at a great price!

Ikea have quite a few cheap options on shower curtains including an alternative to PVC made of PEVA, a chlorine-free plastic material. They also have some cute nylon ones. I think I’ve seen some pretty fabric ones in Freedom too.
If you feel like splashing out you could go for one of these double sided, lead weighted, nylon shower curtains – starting at $117 – some are POA lol.

I LOVE the Modigliani shower curtain…… NZ$84 – thats what, $60 AUD?
-
-
All plastics ‘offgas’, its toxic, and plastic is full of estrogen. Possibly the reason since the 60’s that male fertility has dropped dramatically. Of course beer is full of estrogen too and has a shrinking effect on the testicles, but plastics are everywhere, heating them up like in the shower is like having a toxic steam bath. As a slight asthmatic I can tell you now, its damaging your lungs to have a pvc shower curtain.
-
Steroids (testosterone) shrink testicles too, also I wonder what ecstacy does to them, it’s got to have some kind of effect on a huge sub section of the world population (maybe as much as beer?).
-
I hope not ! the original concept of brewers droop was not erectile dysfunction it was the long term effect of heavy beer drinking, it changes your anatomy, the belly swells and the penis and testicles skrink and move further between the legs, your actually having a slight sex change. eeeuuuwww
-
thats me above…
-
I hope you mean the comment and not the description Davidl -
hardy, hardy, har har..you know I don’t drink beer, the crown jewels are too important to be tampered with! now MDMA thats another story
-
-
D – Pollack-esque Ariean Ex has kept MANY brewers afloat for decades SANS droop, shrunken jewels or gut!!

OPI nailpolish has no formaldehyde…my favourite is “I’m Not Really A Waitress”, the founder is an Ozzie now living in USA…
-
mmmmm…I’d just like to be hugging a Taurus…..sod the tree
-
-
*Snicker*
-
-
I seriously have to stop breathing when walking past nail salons, I just can’t hack the smell/ I did have a psychic suggest that I wear red polish on my toes- because “I am a woman first”
-
There are waterbased polishes. Check:
http://www.suncoatproducts.com/index-5.htmI can tell you from using an organic brand that they chip very easily and do not look as shiny but are probably better for you.
When i get new shower curtains, i leave them outside for a few weeks to de-gas before bringing inside the house.
-
Oh I love that plasticky smell. Mmmm…fake.
Also, I’ve never worn nail polish. I can’t stand any length to my toenails and keep them brutally short. Keep the finernails reasonably short too. And nail polish on my finger- or toenails always looks cheap and old-baggish, even when I was a teenager.
-
Oh yeah, but I love the smell of nail polish and nail polish remover. Oooh, like Artline textas. They must all have the same brain-melting stuff in ‘em.
-
i love a good solvent…that’s the smell.
but i also love nails (hands or feet) au naturel too. just regular maintenance, thick moisturiser and socks before bed to let it soak in, overnight, a bit of a tan on the feet, and keep nails shiny and nice looking with wheatgerm oil or massage oil whatever you have on hand. i’m obviously in a ‘natural is sexy’ mood !!
-
MYSTIC – just yesterday my Gemini Socialite colleague was shouting the praises of a new ‘as natural as you can get for nail polish’ nail polish. She buys it from a little gift shop in Bondi – sorry don’t know which one – but claims it has NO TOXINS in it, and it isn’t made using LADYBUG WINGS like other varnishes trend.
Apologies for product plugging on you blog, but you should really check it out:
http://www.butterlondon.com/aboutI may be a sissy boy, but I gave up nail polish about a decade ago – too high maintenance for me.
Aforementioned Gem Socialite is wearing fantastic ‘true teal’ blue-ish varnish today and I confess its totally hot.

“I am totally grazing and it ain’t grass.”
Ah geez Mystic, when I first read this, food did not come to mind but hoping that pot gets legalized here in Cali….no calories like the Cab… Can dream, can’t I?
And they talkin’ seriously! But no, been years since I’ve puffed….ah the giggles…so fun… So, reading the posts here, this means that the plastic fish I stuck up in the tub (pre where I live now) and that smelled PLASTIC….were toxic and actually “belly up”…
Hmm….Well, do know those shower curtains are just that “curtains” and awful smelling until it eventually goes away but hell, I won’t die (although do not have breathing problems like some although my youngest daughter does….Means I nearly axfixiated (sp?) my child… ……Who could have known? Not like I’m Joan Crawford or anything even tho she an Aries also..).
Okay this has been a long week already….Getting touchy….$800 on the car last weekend…Busiest week I’ve had in yonks (Mystic what is the Ozzie equivilant of months, not years?) Jury duty (the courts) have not confirmed if I was I was excused for jury duty starting today and so warrant could be out for my arrest as I poke this danged keyboard. 115 degrees today…
Oh yes, had a couple of glasses of bac (ha, ha did the wine backwards…) can you tell?
Kind hearted couple here with 17 children murdered…nearly burst into tears when talking with Mom….Think I’m tired and do need a tree…
Mystic I totally agree. One must have the nail varnish on as long as Uranians or other (astro space cadet types….loveable of course) are lurking about….x
Tomorrow is another day (fingers crossed)..
-
Good grief, didn’t know that came out so long. Guess needing a tree is an emergency?
Okay now….
Thanks guys if you read that. Everyone here so great….Love, SP
-
SP, I’ll be your tree… big hug
-
Ah thanks baby cakes……
-

eeek i just removed my toe nailpolish last night and one of my big toe nails is all white and flaking off!
I love wearing bright varnish – but man o man i am giving it a rest.
have got tea tree oil on there now but worried i have damagedmy nails
-
Mystalicious – yr manicurist sure knows how to market!!
geez I’d be back daily if I followed THAT routine – per all prev mani pedi posts – on these parts its perfectly maintained black toes & french pink fingers, routinely applied by someone else!!
what would she think of this?
