I wash my hair everyday.. and today I have this horrible headache that won't go away. I hope it's not brain damage!
I really hope not Zaydoun, I would recommend some of the products in the stores listed to your right, organic natural, safe for the environment and for you..
Are any of these products available in Kuwait?
My best friend was marketing consultant for Kiss My Face and last year he sent me a huge box of samples. Their shaving cream is AMAZING. And now I'm relaxing with one of their aromatherapy candles which seems to have eased my headache
I haven't seen them here, I get most of the stuff in the mail..The Kiss my Face patchouli soap is amazing..You are lucky to have a friend with access to samples!
Yes, vinegar is amazing, it kills more germs than your normal poisonous household cleanser and it gets rid of odours and it brightens clothing and if you add it to a final rinse of laundry it boosts the baking soda that you added to your detergent to help clean the clothes. It cleans streaks off windows and with its trusty friend the baking soda wonder you can get those really difficult foods that get stuck in your pot, out without a single scrub..just let them soak.
I think a lot of us who do take the natural alternative are trying to educate ourselves, but we dont always have the time to make our own soaps etc..besides, voting with our money for companies who make natural alternatives keeps them in business and tells the other companies that we don't appreciate poisons in our products..
But good on you if you you make all your products out of the food aisle, that's pretty impressive. Just be wary of the pesticides and other poisons we have here in the soil...We don't grow certified organic here.
Thanks Mink, nice of you to say..good to see you around:)
