I'm doing 22 things
I stopped wearing make up every day when my chemical sensitivity became more problematic. I usually only wore mascara and blush, but the mascara was what was bugging me. Been several years now, and I don’t miss make up at all. :)

How I did it: I ordered heirloom garlic and put it in the ground. Apparently didn't water it enough, and it's nowhere to be seen.

Maybe someday I’ll take one of her courses, but reading online suits me for now. Also enjoying James Green’s Herbal Medicine Maker’s Handbook.
