To pierce or not to pierce, that is the question.If you’re considering getting a body piercing, there are some things that you should take into account before going through with it. Being informed will help you make the best decision. Are you thinking about body modification? If you’re considering getting…
Well, it’s day 14, so here’s an update on the No ‘Poo situation. As you can see, my hair looks pretty good. I still haven’t had any issues with oiliness in my hair. It’s not getting any oilier than it ever did before. The lower part is still experiencing some…
I’ve been really enjoying the results of my No ‘Poo adventure. Now that I’ve been doing it for a week, I’m having a hard time believing that there are people who are against this simple, natural way of getting gorgeous hair. Last night I got to thinking about the people…
As part of my switch from commercial products to natural ones, I started looking in my makeup case for things that I could trade out. I recently had to throw away all my lipstick because it had gone rancid, so it seemed like a good idea to look into a…
Well, today was another wash day, and there you can see the progress of how my hair looks. Day 1 it was drab and lifeless and pretty crappy looking. On day 4 there was more color, more shine and it felt better. Today is day 7 and it’s shinier and…
Well, this morning I did my first No ‘Poo wash. It was weird, but I’m happier with the results than I thought I would be. My shampoo was 1.5 tbsp baking soda to 1.5 cups water with 1 tsp honey. The conditioner was 1.5 tbsp apple cider vinegar in 1.5…
I think it was about eight months ago when I bought my first container of Natural Remineralizing Organic Clove Toothpaste from Georgia’s Apothecary. At first it was really weird. It was kind of oily and thick and tasted freaky. It melted whenever the bathroom got warm and turned into a…
Well, I’m technically not starting today, but this is my first post about it, and I’ll be updating every Friday. I’ve decided that I’m going to try going without shampoo or “no ‘poo” as they’re calling it. I’ve been hesitant, but after several months of my hair looking and feeling…
It was actually a while back that I stopped using the Noxzema on my face. I went from using it every day to only using it after I wore makeup, but when I switched to mineral makeup, I quit using it completely. Now the only thing I use on my…
I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been slowly transitioning from commercial health and beauty products to natural ones. I’ve already switched from processed foods to natural ones and home-cooking, so continuing the switch in the rest of my life just made sense. I’m not one of those extremist anti-everything people, but…
I was just sitting in the living room taking a break and there was a movie on. The father looks at his son and asks him when he’s going to get a haircut. The boy’s hair is already shaved on the sides and maybe two inches long on the top,…
Take a look at the commercials on television or the ads in magazines that are directed at women. It becomes very clear that according to the media, no woman, unless she’s part of the genetically “gifted” 1%, is good enough the way she is. No matter who you are or…
The hair removal industry is making money hand over fist as society tells us that body hair has to go. Once again we’re being told that natural is disgusting, so we have to do something to make ourselves fit the unnatural cultural mold. Even though most people grow at least…
I mentioned in an earlier post that finding information on being a real lady was a challenge to say the least. Time after time, search after search, I was met with a flood of information that sent completely the wrong message. I came across a list that promised to tell…
