the magic is back!!!


i should sell this stuff...between me and my mother-in-law we could really make "them" a lot of money....and by them i mean Lord Pharoah ImHotepAmonRa - i'm not kidding...i can't make this stuff up...too genius. i should start off the story of how we came to love egyptian magic correctly. remember in the movie "big fat greek wedding" the dad and his windex....and how it cured everything? my mom used a product called de-solv-it and that was her windex - gum in your hair? de-solv-it will get it out...peanut butter in the rug...dont even worry about it...squeaky hinge? you know what to use...on and on. well one day when we were newly-marrieds something came up and i wished out loud for de-solv-it. bryan asked me what it was and i told him and he laughed and said that his mom's windex was egyptian magic. there was an ongoing joke in their family because she used it for EVERYTHING that even when the car would break down - "dont worry...egyptian magic will fix it!". i had never heard of the stuff, but the joke caught on and pretty soon i was joking about the stuff as well...pretty much because of the super-amazing name of it. well...fast forward about 5 years and i was taking a knitting class at this store in long beach (which is now sadly gone) and lo and behold in this yarn store under the counter was egyptian magic. i had to get it and begrudgingly forked out $25 for a measly 4oz of the stuff, but i knew how excited bryan would be. sure enough we started using it on EVERYTHING...and by everything i mean it...let me just quote some of the uses that the container itself used to suggest (not sure why the new ones omit the list...it was precious!) skin and hair cream, ease and heal burns, scrapes and bruises, moisterizer, heals chapped lips, vaginal lubricant, hemmorhoid cream, on and on...lets just hope one washes ones hands before they glob it on! the ingredients in case you were wondering are: Olive Oil (Olea Eurpoaaea oil), Beeswax, Honey, Pollen, Royal Jelly and Propolis Extract. anyway - so back to the story and how we used it...turns out the stuff is amazing. diaper rash? i would put it on bryson and by the next diaper it was GONE! chapped lips? this stuff is seriously the best. i ended up misplacing it...not losing mind you...we would always pack it with us when traveling and i probably left it somewhere and i recently ordered another one and just got it in and seriously excited about it...that is how big a dork i am. right now Bodie has cradle cap - i should take before and after pictures just to prove that this stuff will heal it, but that is probably a little bit of crazy...especially since i am not a registered dealer...yet! i should talk to the pharoah about it.

I hear that the California Baby Shampoo & Bodywash does wonders for cradle-cap too. And it smells amazing.

UM - I seriously feel like I just read my own blog post - I am in love with egyptian magic. It's funny...I am just a newbie finding out about it, but ever since...have been telling the world. I even talked about it in a recent interview: http://www.truecuddles.ca/?p=414. Anyway...I found it because I went to buy Motherlove Nipple Cream...which is the only organic nipple cream currently on the market. Anyway - I used that stuff on everything, too. But, they were out and the lady suggested "the magic" to me instead. Have been a follower ever since...Elliot asks for it now. They should be sending us vats of it for blogging and advertising for them. Wouldn't that be the best? :) See you soon!

OMG - Kathy Barnes reincarnated! She was just preaching to me the other day about how I needed some and brought me over a scoop of it - yes a scoop :-) She said if I don't use it I should give it back because it is expensive - I have to laugh everytime she mentions Egyptian Magic - and now you?!!!
