Giving solid shampoo a try - my thoughts

Years ago I tried Lush solid shampoo bit just couldn't get the hang of it then last week I decided to try again.
The reason I revisited this alternative shampoo option is the nuisance cats and toddler kept dropping my shampoo and conditioner bottle in the bath, they'd proceed to take up water and voila, watery, runny, hair products.
I have naturally very thick hair so have to be careful what types of hair care I use as anything thickening will make me sweat like I'm wearing a hat indoors. I found this a little tricky as the shampoo bars didn't really specify clearly the type of hair they were for. Yes I could have asked but a) it was very very busy and b) I'm too socially awkward in those situations.
I ended up choosing a shampoo bar and a conditioner bar and got the little storage tins to protect them from the previously mentioned nuisances. I can't remember the names but the shampoo is orange and the conditioner is purple.

After a week of use, my opinion:
It has not caused my hair to thicken up to a bad wig. My hair feels cleaner with less residue and I believe that's because I'm using less. Both bars barely look touched but I've had a good lather from the shampoo each time.
My only negatives would be that, they need to be allowed to dry out afterwards so you can't just close the tin and be off and it's an expensive thing to "give a go", they only have 1 size so if I'd got one that didn't suit my hair type I'd have wasted that money. Testers a quarter of the size would be welcomed.

All in all I like it and will keep going with it.

My truths about Self Employment

These days it seems self employment is becoming more and more common with the rise of online selling abilities, rep businesses and the 'Boss Babe' movement. I'm all for anything which makes people feel more empowered and able to handle their own business, no matter what size. I've been in this game for 6.5 years now, although much more so in the last 2 or 3 and I thought I'd share some of my thoughts and experiences on self employment. These are personal to me, relate to my business (small printing & craft business) and life, and are unfiltered, you may not agree with them but that's okay you don't need to. Do not expect help and advice; but don't assume people won't offer There is no sick pay or sick leave, if you aren't working, you aren't earning Not all businesses are the same, don't tell people how to run theirs It's okay to be jealous, just don't let it effect how you work 2 similar businesses do not have to b

Sober October

Now that October is over I can declare I didn't have any alcohol. I'm a pint of lager kind of girl rather than spirits most of the time and I don't go out very often so I wasn't drinking insane and unsafe amounts, I very rarely get more than a little tipsy. But throughout August and September I was having a couple of cans of lager every evening, it was basically "Roo's in bed, grab a drink and relax at last. Normally a crate of beer would last me month but instead it was lasting a week, it had become part of my routine and an essential part of winding down. Then we went on holiday and the fridge was kept well stocked, I ended up having a lot more to drink. I still wasn't getting drunk but I was drinking a lot more than is recommended albeit slowly throughout the day. So when I got home I decided my body needed a break! It was the 1st October and there were things on TV and social media suggesting Go Sober for October so I decided I'd do it. I also de

Fat to... Fit? Less fat?

So I've joined the gym, again! I'm not on some insane health binge, it's not a resolution, it's not a sudden change. There's 2 reasons I've joined: 1) I am fat and unhealthy 2) I need something for me! Without a child in tow Mostly it's number 2, it's certainly the reason why now! I've been fat and unhealthy for years. I am not a gym bunny, I will not become a gym bunny. But I do sometimes enjoy the gym, it's a good way to work out the stress of life and it gives me some time alone. I'll be blogging here about my progress and any effects it's having. I am going to weigh myself but this isn't an attempt at weight loss, I don't care what the scales say I care about how I feel. I've taken before photos which there's no way I'm sharing now but maybe later. I'm going to post day 1 as a separate blog though so you can appreciate my first time back in a gym since 2013 in all its glory.
