Break from No Poo!

Back in April I decided to try the No Poo Method of washing my hair. I had heard wonderful things about it and did just a little blog reading before I started. I was out of shampoo and didn't want to go spend money on more if I didn't have to.

After about a month of the transitional period it finally started to show some promise. My hair looked great and it was so easy to style. I was loving it! I was saving money and time!

Then summer officially hit and it was time to start going to Water World where I planned to spend the majority of our time. We were going 3 to 4 times a week for the morning to keep the boys entertained and to wear them out so it would be do bad being home all afternoon and evening packing. And this is where I started to have problems.

I'd come home from Water World and shower and I noticed my hair start to get more and more greasy again. I was so frustrated! I didn't want to go and spend money on junk shampoo from the store because I was really loving the No Poo but I didn't know what else to do. I figured I'd just try to keep my hair out of the water as much as possible and hopefully that would help. It didn't! I was feeling defeated.


So it was time to order again from doTerra at the beginning of July. As I was flipping through the catalog figuring out what I was going to buy I noticed their shampoo and conditioner! So I figured I'd give it a try. As a distributor for doTerra I figured that I could always tell people my experience with it and then go back to No Poo after the big move and we are settled in and I have some time to do a little more research on why my hair was freaking out.

So what did I discover...doTerra's hair products are AMAZING! I can't believe how great my hair feels and the amazing shine it has and it's still super easy to style. I only wish it was as cheap as baking soda and apple cider vinegar. Although I was able to save some money by ordering it through the Loyalty Rewards Program it still isn't as inexpensive as No Poo which was my only true reason for switching in the first place.

So if you are looking for amazing hair products doTerra's are great and I'm speaking purely from experience not as a sales person. Head on over here to read more about the shampoo and conditioner or here to order yourself some!

I will be back to the No Poo method when I'm done with these bottles because I did love it and after just a little more research I discovered the problem I was having was washing my hair to often. However, if it turns out that I don't like it I will be back to doTerra's hair products because I don't think I could ever use the junk from the stores again!

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
