Sticky Buns

I must admit, since I became a mom the term "sticky buns" has taken on a new meaning. Who knew babies buns could be so cute...and sticky. I experienced this recipe long before I became a mom. I went on a road trip with a college friend and her sister made these for us. They aren't exactly considered a health food but they're really yummy and great during the holidays when you want to splurge but not really splurge. Am I making any sense? We had this on for christmas breakfast and everyone loved it! I found it a bit on the sweet side but our guest didn't seem to mind. These are so great to throw together the night before and then turn the oven on in the morning and whala

Day 91: Shampoo for Thick Hair

The other day I tried to make Shampoo for the first time and I must say I was quite pleased. The ingredients are rather simple and it was quite easy to make. But unfortunately my hair is protesting...again. My hair, like most others, is not what I would like it to be. The hair is always greener on someone else's head I suppose. But with the genes I got (my father is bald and my mom went gray at 20) I'm not complaining! I'm grateful for what I've got but it is quite "notty" if you know what I mean.

My husband, on the other hand has gorgeous hair! It's thick and dark and grows like a weed. Dang him! He's almost 40 and still looks like a teenager (and acts even younger). His hair responds quite well to this shampoo but it leaves mine heavy and unmanageable. If anyone out there has a recipe for thin hair I would LOVE it! Let me know how it works for you.

Shampoo For Thick Hair

1/4 c castil soap
1/2 c distilled water
2 tb aloe vera gel or juice
1/2 tb coconut oil
4 drops lemon essential oil

Pour all ingredients in a shower safe container and shake vigorously. I find this foams really well so you don't need to use a lot. Enjoy
