    Dandruff

    Last night I tried rubbing my head with plain cold yogurt (which I have in abundance) and then I wrapped a towel around my head and let it sit for a few hours. Then I washed my hair as usual. It was nice and refreshing. And so far I'm not itching. But, we shall see....wait was that an...

    Inexpensive homemade hair conditioner or styling gel?

    Last night I was trying another experiment to get rid of my dandruff. I put plain yogurt in my hair and then wrapped it in a towel. I let it sit for a couple of hours and then washed it like I normally do. It made my hair super silky. If it doesn't work for my dandruff I will do it again just...

Even though I don't drink to access alcoholism effects me because it effects the people I love. I made myself sick with worry and fear. But, I found...

    How to start with a baby?

    My girls been clingy too. She hates it when I leave the room even for a moment. She yells at me and starts crawling after me like I'm leaving her forever. Lately I've been known to pee with the door open *blush*:D I like the narrating idea. Sometimes I think I'm too quiet with her. Especially...

    How to start with a baby?

Like I said before I have a 9 month old (she'll be 10 mo in about a week!) Anyway I absolutely LOVE this book. Actually there...

    help! head cold but no herbs yet!!!

    If your throat is sore: If you have any real black licorice it will make your throat feel better. Some teas contain licorice. Don't go crazy with it though. It's also a ....uh....stool loosener. You can gargle with a salt water solution. Just stir salt into a glass of warm water. Sip some...

    Dandruff

    Alright, well I guess I'm going to be doing some experimenting. So far... I tried massaging my head with dried rosemary. Refreshing. Yet, still itchy. I tried using a rosemary infusion in my rinse water. Boy said I smelled "herbal". But, I'm still itchy. I tried brushing my hair a lot...

    Inexpensive homemade hair conditioner or styling gel?

    I started using the curly girl method too. I love it. I started last summer and people have actually been complimenting me on my hair. (I've always had crazy hair) Do you have an aloe plant? Aloe makes a good hair gel. Coconut oil works good for me. As long as I'm careful not to use to much.

    What does your user name mean?

    Mine I got from Radical Homemakers- a book I read and loved last summer. I love this thread. I'm so glad I found out what sk8erpn means. (I also read it as skate-r-pin) I thought "is he a skateboarder or something" :lol: That one had me stumped. No way! A few years back on vacation in Canada...

    I have to agree with the whole pink thing. I don't hate pink. I just don't love it either. My girl does have some pink stuff but she was a "surprise" baby too. so we have a lot of neutral tones. I tend to go for brown a lot. I don't even correct people when they call her a boy. She's 9 months...

    Who wants to experiment?

    I don't know if this counts or not. But, I have one of those popsicle molds. I usually just pour some preserves, jam, or other mashed up leftover fruit bits into it then fill the rest with some yogurt. I'm sure if I blended up before i put it in there it would spread the fruit around better...

    Dandruff

    Glad I'm not the only one. :) I'll try brushing my scalp more. The flakiness doesn't bother me as much as the itching. It just about makes me crazy. I have tried using olive oil and coconut oil on my scalp in the past but, it only relieved the itching for a day and it was really hard to rinseout.

    Uses for dehydrator...need ideas

    I was wondering about doing onions and garlic? I can see why you would want to do it outside. Does the smell wash out of the dehydrator. I've been avoiding these two because I was afraid that all of my stuff would come out stinking of onions.
