Sister Red


ABOUT ME: I am the youngest child of eleven. I am married with two boys and one step son who lives with us full time. I am the minority in my home and it drives me nuts on a daily basis. I am Vegan, my two children are Vegetarian while my husband and step son are not. I care about where my food comes from, how it is grown, whether it's genetically engineered etc. I have hippie tendencies and have come to welcome and accept them. I currently have three dogs, all of whom were rescued in one way or another. I am trying to reduce my carbon footprint and reducing my families as well. I sometimes wish I lived in Canada.

First, ignore the lack of makeup and goofy look on my face. Today is the first day of my going hippie and not using shampoo. I have severe OCD and do not use the same shampoo/conditioner daily, I have to switch. This leads to 8 different types of shampoo/conditioner in my shower. I hate the waste and would like to try something more friendly. I found this blog entry and loved the way her hair looks, not dirty or greasy. So this morning, a work morning, I decided to try the baking soda. It felt great, not as odd as I would have thought. It really cleaned my scalp and my hair felt so clean. I dried it normally and used a flat iron to smooth it out. I like it so far. I still can’t believe I did it and I plan to stick with it. How different my shower would look without all those bottles in there and what elimination of waste!
