Dr Bronner's soap

A product review!

Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap.  It's vegan, natural, fair trade, cruelty free etc etc and strangely a multi-use product.  It can be used as a shampoo, bodywash and household cleaner.  I'm using as a bodywash and shampoo, I'm sort of confused about the household cleaner bit, but I guess soap is soap.  I'm very loyal to pantene, but the ingredient list is all chemicals.  Plus pantene is made by proctor&gamble who tests products on animals.  I'd been thinking whats the point in eating so healthy if all my makeup, lotion, hair products are all bad for me?  I switched to coconut oil for my moisturizer and switched to a natural toothpaste  and both of those products are great, I dont want to switch back.  On recommendation, I thought I would try Dr. Bronner's soap.  It's really pepperminty, I love the scent.  The downside?   It kinda leaves something like a soap residue, my hair doesn't feel all that great until I put conditioner on. Actually, my hair feels like shit until I put conditioner on.  After a couple days I noticed my hair was a little greasy.  I'm not decided on whether I like it or not.  Maybe it just takes some getting used to?  I love it as a bodywash.  You can actually feel the tingly peppermint for like an hour afterwards. At about $10 a bottle, it's not cheap, but a little goes a long way.  I give it 3.5 bananas out of 5

For real. 

This ad I spotted on craigslist and I'm torn between thinking it's a creative way to make a living, and thinking this person must be nuts.  Or at least poor at spelling and grammar.  I'm watching a documentary on Netflix (courtesy of Whitney) about a guy who lived off the generosity of strangers for one month by posting ads on craigslist.  While watching I perused the bits of craigslist that I don't usually look at.  Im resistant to post things on craigslist because I worry a serial murderer will hack me into little bits.  But that's a silly thought isn't it.  Given the number of murderers I've gotten to know, you'd think that this thought wouldn't enter my mind anymore.  Maybe I just like to know what people are capable of in advance.  Incidentally I have a 32 inch flat screen tv up for grabs.  It's not one of those thin tv's.  It a big heavy son of a hippopotamus.  If you promise not to hack me into bits, it's all yours.

On another craigslist note.  I periodically check the missed connections section.  A typical post will read something along the lines of "I saw you walking your pomeranian on Robson, we chatted about Venice beach.  You were wearing cheetahs leggings, I was wearing an orange vest.  Send me a message if you want to have coffee".  Entertaining and often totally deluded.  I would cut through the BS posts by filtering for something I felt was a good descriptor of me, blonde.  I just realized blonde no longer describes me.  Now I'm a red head, I guess I'll have to change my descriptor.  Obviously I would never respond to such an crazy internet post, I just think the posts are entertaining.  Every once in a while I will recognize someone from the description (a co-worker or a cashier at the IGA)
