Guest post: ‘Poo-free hair care - no bubbles required
While I’m on vacation until Aug. 9, I’m featuring several guest bloggers. Today’s guest post is from Jenny who blogs at Babyfingers. ‘Poo-free hair care - no bubbles required I had never heard of ‘poo free hair care until some friends at our local babywearing group brought it up at a meeting. One lady mentioned how pleased she’d been with the condition of her hair since she quit using shampoo. Perplexed, several of us asked “what do you use?” The answer was simpler and cheaper than I exp readMy Favorite Makeup, Body & Hair Products
As promised, I'm listing my favorite makeup, body and hair products that I'm currently using. I've chosen these because they're some of the healthiest on the planet. I'm continuously on the hunt for the most environmentally conscious, non-toxic, truly natural and certified organic products (not many companies offer USDA certified organic) for my hair, face and body. I'll be getting pregnant one of these days; therefore, I'm going extra extra clean. I found some amazing options that I'll be using readIndependence Days Week 10

There are a lot of companies that I describe as 50%-cruelty-free. Why? Well, these companies do not commission any tests on animals, but they do not make sure to buy ingredients that have not been tested on animals, (and they aren’t certified by the CCIC as having animal-testing-free ingredients). Since a lot of animal testing occurs at the ingredient stage, I find this distressing. I also don’t like these companies because I think they are lying by implication — people pick up their bottles, readVolcanicast for the Week Ending 2008/06/13

Levees are compromised in Plaquemines Parish, about to breach. This is very bad news. Watching this on CNN, jackass Wolf Blitzer cut off Parish President Billy Nungesser because Laura Bush’s speech was bout to begin at the GOP Con. Fer chrissakes. UPDATE 5 minutes later… So Laura says something inane and stupid, and Blitzer — who apparently put Billy Nungesser ON HOLD!!! - comes back and starts talking as if Nungesser is still on the line. After a while, Blitzer goes, “I guess we’ve lost con read
palin s daughter pregnant
I Guess Abstinence Education Didn't Work Out So Well, Huh, Mrs. Palin?
From the Huffington Post: Sarah Palin's 17-year-old , unmarried daughter is five months pregnant, the campaign has announced. Hoping to quell internet rumors about about her youngest son, Palin released the news about her daughter Bristol earlier today. A statement released by the campaign said that Bristol Palin will keep her baby and marry the child's father. Bristol Palin is five months pregnant, and the baby is due in late December. Can you imagine the Rightwingers' outcry if this were B readSarah Palin Confirms 17 year old Pregnant Daughter to Wed
Copyright 2008 Robyn Beck/ AFP / Getty Images I SWEAR, SHE TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE JULIA DREYFUS DON’T YOU THINK? In a statement just in to ET, John McCain’s Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd Palin, confirm that their unwed 17 year old daughter, Bristol, is pregnant. “Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned.We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder readAnother One On The Way

From Barack Obama, March 29, 2008: “….. look, I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.” _________________________________________________ Statement today from Sarah and Todd Palin (HT NixGuy): ST. PAUL — Gov.

Congratulations Are in Order (After a Rant) September 1, 2008 | Filed in: Politics, Unplanned Pregnancy And so, she’s pregnant. I’m brokenhearted for Bristol Palin. Straight up brokenhearted. Perhaps even more so than if the rumors alleging that she was actully her brother’s biological mother had been true. Because this whole debacle is going to get way out of hand. When I experienced my unplanned pregnancy, I just had to deal with the scrutiny of family and friends. Some were supportive. read

McCain Gets in Way of Hurrican Preparation “Today, Obama stated that he would stay out of the way as Hurricane Gustav once again threatens the Gulf Coast. Even Bush, who three years ago celebrated Katrina’s landfall at John McCain’s birthday party, is staying away. What does McCain do? Just like he did when he traveled to a market place in Baghdad, he puts the lives of Americans in danger, and diverts the mission for his own personal political gain. He will travel to the Gulf Coast to give a readSeptember blogHarrisburg Tweetup

It's been a great Birthday week-end. Eli got me this cool LSU water bottle for my birthday and many family & friends called or brought nice gift cards. Brandi cooked up some of our old favorites from Louisiana. Saturday night, we invited some friends over to sample some of the savory, rich cajun cuisine. In fact, we're so far removed from eating that kind of rich food, that we're sick tonight from the feast. Now back on our regular diet. For today, on my birthday, we went to churc readMuch of RNC opening canceled
Maybe Republicans are assuming the governmental response to Gustav will be another disaster else why the cancellation of much of day one of the RNC? If they thought the government would respond competently then, seems to me, they could hold a dignified session while pointing out how much better a Republican administration is doing now. But they aren’t, and they want George Bush nowhere near any of them as Gustav hits. I’m not buying the McCain excuse that he doesn’t want delegates in party hat read
