    Stuff in your PURSE

    My must go list (what I always carry with me once I leave the house): at least three packs of paper tissues (I'm an allergic, when I go out for more than a few hours, there can be up to 15 packs of tissues) keys wallet with money, photos, bank cards (it's way too big, but I like the color -...

    How often do you wash your hair? (guys & gals)

    I checked several shampoos' and conditioners' ingredients lists and realized that conditioners usually have even more ingredients (=chemicals) than shampoos. So for me, it wouldn't make any sense to switch from shampoo to conditioner. I'll give the soda system some more time before I give up...

    How often do you wash your hair? (guys & gals)

    Thanks for sharing your experience, Mae Croft. I'll think about it some more and read some ingredients lists of conditioners. Probably I'll give it a try since I'm quite unhappy with the soda wash. But then, maybe I just have to give some more time? Maybe I'll go on trying the soda wash some...

    This is so great! The shape, the color - it's all so fashy! I thought about getting a hat box and putting my stuff in, but this does the job so much better. And you'll look like a Parisienne for sure :D

    How often do you wash your hair? (guys & gals)

    No, I don't use anything. That is because when I stilled used shampoo, I got the best pin curl results without any products (not even hairspray). It made the longest lasting best looking curl. But now, all is different. I'm not sure if I would be able to wash out a setting medium (whatever it...

    How often do you wash your hair? (guys & gals)

    You mean washing with conditioner, right? I haven't tried it but I really can't imagine it would work. Whenever I use conditioner, my hair gets so flat and slippery that it's practically impossible to do anything with it. I can't imagine that a wet set would make any difference but maybe I...

    How often do you wash your hair? (guys & gals)

    I've been trying out the no-poo method for a while now. I wash it every two or three days with the baking soda only and rinse with vinegar. The good thing about it is that I'm really surprised how clean the hair gets without any shampoo. The bad thing though is that now my hair becomes sort...

    Yeah, I just had to have them with the piggy and mushroom (fly agaric is for good luck in Germany) and all. I don't even really drink cocktails at home. Maybe that's a reason to start... And I learned a new word today: swizzle stick (now I hear Grace Jones singing in my head "hit me with your...

    I just got these cocktail markers from my barter forum. Now, I just need the matching glasses. Did you use such things in the US, or are they a German/European thing? I also got some new fabric that's from the fifties, as well. Yay! Now I got to make up my mind what to make of it. It...

    I hope it's not forbidden to post youtube links here. If it is, I'm sorry. In that case let me know and I'll remove it. This is Hildegard Knef in the movie "Alraune" (1952), singing "I like myself today" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1Yqmjq3K5c
