Going No Poo!

Have you heard of No Poo? Well if you have been searching for more natural, less chemical ways of life then you probably have. I heard about it probably close to 2 months ago but I have been working on emptying all the bottles of shampoo and conditioner that I had around the house before I switched. I just couldn't see wasting the money and throwing what I already had away.

So now all my hair cleaning products have been emptied and it's time to make the switch. I have already made my own toothpaste and deodorant and I'm loving them and my hubby is actually on board too, surprisingly! (I will share with you my recipes when I have ones that I love, still experimenting)

I learned about the No Poo method from Ashley's Green Life. She explains the "transition period" with some science information behind it. I will share my personal experience with this time after I'm through it. I'm excited to try more styles up with my hair from The Small Things Blog, this one is my favorite and go to.

So here's just a little about the no poo method. You use 1 TBS baking soda and 1 cup cold (filtered) water and mix it into a container of choice. I like Ashley's spray bottle idea the best so I'm going to start with that. This is the "shampoo" part of washing your hair.
For the "conditioner" you use 1 TBS apple cider vinegar to 1 cup (filtered) water. Ashley recommends letting it soak in while you finish your other shower duties. And then rinse well and the smell will be gone.

So I'm heading out to the store to get the supplies I need which is only the spray bottles because I have the rest because I use it in a lot of other things. I will keep you updated and take pictures of my hair throughout the whole process and we will see how things change. I'm hoping for healthier hair!

Have you ever tried the No Poo method? Would you ever try it? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Holiday Traditions?

I'm so excited to be co-hosting with Melissa! I have been a long time reader & finally got around to co-hosting! I can't wait to see all of your holiday traditions & I'm sure add a few to my list too! Holiday Traditions? What are those? I'm not sure we have any set up in our family. We never really had anything that we did every year growing up either. So I'm not surprised that we haven't thought about setting anything up for our kids either.

I'm taking the challenge!

I'm taking the challenge and I'm going to talk about the subject many people hush about! SEX!  Normally this would be completely outside my comfort zone (truthfully not sure I will post this as I'm typing) but I figure why not?!?  Being married makes it OK to talk about! We get so much from media that maybe it's about time that more people talk about the appropriated subjects of Sex!  First, let me start off by saying I did not wait until I was married. Looking back I wish I did because I have baggage, my hubby has baggage, and truthfully this subject has been the main topic of the majority of our fights for the past 5 years.  Just recently I started caring more about what I was wearing to bed just like  Mrs. T, Naturally  is talking about.  I'm sure must men would love it if their wives went to bed wearing something like this ------------------>  (I know my hubby would) however when you have little ones around (a...
