Its been a tough week deciding whether to continue with my “no poo” experiment or not. Im at a conference with a lot of new people – 500 women to be precise!! I know we shouldn’t judge people on their looks but first impressions count!! The rye flour is still doing the trick but its…
2 weeks shampoo free
So here I am over 2 weeks into my no shampoo experiment. It turns out there are loads of people out there going ” ‘poo free” – apparently thats what they call it!! Ive been doing a bit of research and there are things that you can do to your locks to keep them looking…
Saying goodbye to shampoo
Im going to try and experiment and see how long I can go without shampoo. My friends say it will take at least 6 months before my hair normalises, it will make my pillows disgusting and I will become some sort of social outcast!! There are many reasons why I want to do it. The…

Good endings
Today was a sad day but also an amazing day. We sold our van. It went far quicker than I imagined. In fact the first couple that saw it wanted it. Maybe all that chrome polishing was worth it. The amazing thing was not only that we sold the van but who we sold the…
