I haven't worn deodorant in two days because I'm out and I'm too lazy to make an extra trip outside my regular weekly shopping. It's been going okay until late afternoon, then I require a quick baby wipe.
Here's mine: DH has a conference this afternoon, but he's home this morning. It's great having an extra set of hands with the boys, but he's totally throwing off my routine!

I use baking soda water and then a vinegar rinse in the same way you would use shampoo conditioner. It's dirt cheap, sulfate free, environmentally friendly and my hair looks AMAZING. I did have to go through a period where I looked mildly homeless while my scalp ooils adjusted but it was the best thing I ever did. Google 'no poo' (it's a stupid but widely accepted term) and you will find more info than you could possibly need.

When I was in high school I went through a period where I treated our fridge/pantry as my own personal day spa. I pretty much put everything on my face/hair/body (oatmeal, avocado, lemon, honey, etc.)
My top 2 "never live down" moments were when 1) I tried to put olive oil in my super ridiculously fine hair. It looked like I had just come in from a rain storm for about 2 weeks. Would not wash out.
2) I put a raw egg in my hair. Same general purpose as the olive oil - I think it was supposed to make it shiny. But when I went to wash it out, the warm water cooked the egg right into my hair. It smelled and I had egg particles that wouldn't come out.

I've got another...Is that allowed? I was enjoying some nice wine tonight, but stopped so I can nurse my son at the next feeding. I've plenty of milk stored up to do a bottle feeding, but then I'd have to pump...I chose to stop drinking instead of having to pump...

The pants I have been wearing to work are glorified yoga pants. They are knit pants made to look like black dress pants. If people can pass leggings off as appropriate work pants then I can wear glorified sweat pants. Oh, and I hate it when people wear sweat pants in public. Hypocrite!

My friend posted his engagement pictures and his fiancee looks a lot heavier than she normally looks. The posing is awful. Everyone else is telling her how great she looks and I feel like a bitch.
I wash my hair every 3-4 days here. I tried the no poo for about 2 months and my hair got extremely frizzy and would lay down for anything. I can't remember all the things I tried to get it to smooth out and just nothing worked so I stopped. I washed my hair at different intervals to see if that helped. Nope. My hair is back to it's normal self and not frizzy now.
