I’m home from work and I’m going to get ready because we’re going out with friends tonight for my birthday. It occurred to me that I haven’t (a) showered in 2 days or (b) shaved my legs in about a week. I feel like women way-back-when who only washed their hair on church days. Of course, I don’t ever wash my hair since I stopped using shampoo in 2003, but you know what I mean.
So, because I love my family and friends and don’t want them whispering about my stench behind my back, I’m going to bathe before we go out. Since LilZ went to see his Dad for the weekend, I’m actually home alone for a few minutes before MrZ and NikkiZ make it so I’m trying to hurry and get the dogs walked so I can actually soak in the tub in PEACE without a toddler pointing to my naked body and saying, “Boobie!” over and over again. It’s cute the first time, but now? It’s just making me self conscious. Especially when she laughs.
haha… I hope you had a relaxing few minutes!
How do you keep your hair looking clean without using shampoo? I’ve tried not washing my hair every day, since I know that’s healthier for it, but it looks so greasy. Please! Share your beauty tips
Happy Birthday to US!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday! We share a 7/14 b-day! Have fun tonight!
I knew your birthday was coming up! Hoping you have a GREAT time tonight and party hardy.
(ps: I promise I won’t laugh at your boobies at blogher)
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, you sneaky birthday haver, you!
Happy Birthday!!! Hope you and your freshly bathed and shaved body have fun tonight! NikkiZ is so cute!
Happy Birthday, Zoot! Enjoy your night out!
Happy Birthday!! I kinda remember when yours is…the month not the day cuz you are just thatmuch older than me.
I hope you had a wonderful soak and a wonderful time out with your friends….if not I had a few drinks for ya. 
I’ve gone the shampoo-less route fairly recently and so has my husband. We’ve both been delighted at how our curly hair is far less frizzy now that we’re only using conditioner.
Oh, and happy birthday! You should celebrate it for at least a week.
Happy birthday, Zoot!
Hope you had a great birthday and lots of fun on your night out! We Momma’s deserve a good night out now and again.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Wait till she starts saying “Nipples”….that’s even worse!
Hope you had a tonne of fun, Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday.
Yes, please do share the shampoo less hair secret.
I have very curly hair and my scalp will not forgive me if I go 24 hours without shampoo. I used to use nexxus oily hair shampoo and they took it off the market. I tried several others but none have been good enough.
There is a new one with gunky in the title but I couldn’t find it at walmart, but I did find a pantene one with Clarifying for oily hair so I will try it tomorrow. Please share though. Please.
My brother has the same birthday as you. SO Happy birthday… And many more.
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!
I realized this morning that I hadn’t showered since Thursday morning.. gross. My legs are so smooth now.
AnotherJenn — I still have to use a little shampoo, as I sweat a lot (gym/dance classt, etc), but I’ve found that a little (we’re talking pea- to dime-sized, depending on your thickness) bit just for your scalp is all you need. Then, the conditioner just goes on about ears down, and it helps with the curls.
Also, when I’m really needing help, some dry shampoo is great, too — I use Rene Furterer, but only because someone who loves me gave me a gift certificate to Sephora.
