Lovely uses for the delightful Aloe Vera plant. Would love to plant these outdoors on the balcony but they would all have to be brought back inside once the weather gets cold.

Laura S. does not like to slide shows, well no one forces you to go to the site, find other items to view if slide shows bother you. Like the more wordier sites but am not adverse to slides and looking at the delights of photos along with information.

I have really dry hair. I plan to use the aloe conditioner. Nothing I use helps. When I shampoo my hair is so dry and flyaway, even though I use conditioner and leave it on for 15 minutes. Then I rinse but leave a little in my hair. It still looks horrible.
I wish all these tips were on one page so I could copy and paste them.
The facial mask and the photo of the gel on the body look green. Gel from the plant is clear. I wonder if you put the whole piece in a blender to make it look green? Wish there was a recipe for that.
