Not much...

....going on over here in the Swehosky household. We all have been sick from some nasty cold and I seemed to have gotten the last of it. Boo
We just got back from visiting family and friends in Oregon and we all had a great time. Violet and mommy went one way and daddy and Sophie went another. Sophie had a blast with her "boyfriend" Elliott and Violet enjoyed being oogled by everyone for her extreme cuteness.
This next weekend my sister is marrying her girlfriend Michelle and we are all looking forward to that as well. I can't wait for fall to come and e get to experience the holidays the two kids. I cant wait for violet to get a little bit older and be able to play more with Sophie..it will be beautiful to watch.

Other than that pretty boring. Still wouldnt trade it for the world <3 p="p">

No Poo Method Day 3

Well like I said..it gets worse before it gets better. Instead of it getting oily Im noticing its getting dry. So I have looked into some cures and they say adding coconut oil or honey to the vinegar mixture helps. I will try that next time.

No Poo Method Day 1

So being the hippy I am..I stumbled across this no-poo method that is apparently a pretty happening thing. Basically it is never using shampoo and conditioner ever again..hot right?

Now I know what you are thinking...umm no thanks..moving on. I believed the same thing, but for the sake of my naturalness I decided to research a little more. It isnt so bad. So here is the scoop:

Apparently our normal shampoo and conditioner is bad for our hair. It destroys our normal PH which in turn makes us need to shampoo our hair every day to every other day. This isnt normal. Our hair was made to not have to be washed so often. Not only that, shampoo is FULL of chemicals that seep into our brains and turn us into zombies...I kid.

So since I dont have much of a life outside of the home (or in the home lol) I have decided to give this a go. People do need to know that this gets worse before it gets better. It takes a good 2-3 weeks before you see gorgeous results. These results apparently make your hair BETTER and more healthy than before. So how do you do it?

From what I have read it is a tbsp of baking soda to one cup water in a water bottle with a whole punched through (to squirt out of) and a tbsp of apple cide vinegar (or white distelled) to a cup of water in another SEPERATE water squirt bottle invention. You lather really good with the baking soda mixture first (shampoo) rinse and then lather up with the vinegar mixture (conditioner.) Another plus about this little schindig is that after those 2-3 weeks you only have to wash your hair every 5-7 days!.

So here it is people..DAY 1

August 1st....

...going on January 3rd.

I have always been a winter girl, but even "I" am tired of this so-called "summer". I am currently wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt. I mean, yeah we might get some sun but it is never warm enough to swim in the lake. You know that it is truly summer when you can swim in the lake. So when are we NW people getting our summer? Apparently never. Either that or we are going to have an indian summer and will be wearing shorts as we trick-or-treat this year. FAIL

On a different note, August does bring something good!

On August 30th Jared and I will have been together for 4 years. It feels like just yesterday that we met...and now we have 2 kids and we are married. Obviously, we went a little faster than most couples but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
