Found out from a book written by a beautician that the best thing to wash your hair with is soap! She said the reason most of us need to use conditioners is because of the shampoo we use – they strip hair of their natural oils. Her recommendation was to put soap scraps (or grated […]
Who needs shampoo? Not me. I’m a 68 year old male with thinning white hair so when I shower all I use is a refill bottle of Palmolive Liquid Hand Wash for everything including my hair. It does a great job. I use Dove “Beauty Bar” when just washing my hands and face in the […]
Shampoo is expensive – we tend to use twice as much as we need to. Because we apply it to one spot on the crown of the head, the hair there can become damaged and break. I now spread a surprisingly small amount of shampoo between the palms of my hands, then apply to the […]
I cut plastic hand cream bottles in half and it is amazing how much is still left in the container that a ‘pump’ will not let you have (I always get a couple of weeks worth from the cut open bottle). Likewise with plastic make up foundation/concealer creams etc – it always keeps me going […]

I wash my hair with Sunlight soap. Where it was becoming very coarse and straight with commercial shampoo, it now gleams and is soft to the touch. I no longer need to use conditioner either. So cheap and good!
By using hand towels and small sized bath towels when you have children you are still able to change them often but don’t have as many loads to do because you can fit more of them into the machine. After a shower or bath you can hang all the wet towels (not dirty ones!) on […]
I bought a spray bottle from a dollar store and put in just a little bit of cream cleanser – with a good shake it is ideal for the shower and bath.
