Last Elixir Post

Last month while in Boise, scoping out the town,
I got my hair cut at an Aveda salon and got a
new take on the mysterious demise of Aveda Elixir.
(old posts about Elixir can be found here, here and
here. )

When I asked the girl cutting my hair “Whatever
happened to Elixir?” in my best investigator-like
nonchalant voice, used to throw off witnesses when
I am trying to get at important information, she
answered:

“Oh I think that was because it was found to contain
cancer causing ingredients. That happens sometimes
at our staff meetings. They’ll tell us this or that is being
discontinued because they have just found out one
of the ingredients causes cancer ...”

That would certainly explain why they have a hush-hush
attitude towards the whole thing.

Elixir and Windows

I had another lucky yard sale day on Saturday. At one yard
sale I bought seven skeins of new natural fiber yarn for
$2.00 each and three pretty window frames which I plan to
hang on my bare white walls upstairs (my workspace & guest
area). They were $1.00 each! I love them!























My big score though was a 16 ounce bottle of Aveda Elixir.
It was .50 cents. A huge deal because 1) this item has
been discontinued and is no longer available in stores.
(read more about that here)
and 2) these bottles are going for big bucks on eBay. Here’s an
auction where you an buy 2 bottles of elixir for
$84.00. Crazy. I was just happy to have some more.
