No Poo


The teacher and I are both quite keen on being green and even though we're limited with what we can do to our rented flat, there are a lots of little changes we've made around the house. That mostly comprises using as few petroleum based, non-natural chemicals as we can, so my decision last year to stop using shampoo was twofold: it's better for the environment and better for my hair. Maybe threefold actually, since it makes my crazy hair a lot more manageable; perfect for a lazy girl.

You can read about how to go "no poo" here. It takes a wee while for your hair to get used to not having harch chemicals on it all the time and I did felt like a total minger for about 2 weeks but after that everything settled down. I use a baking soda solution since I always have lots of it for cleaning and baking.

Even though I hardly ever wash it (lazy), style it properly (lazy) or get it cut (lazy and nervous), I think it looks pretty ok!

Post-Christmas

Christmas is about being with the people you love and doing the things you love. Mine was beautiful and special.

A house full of memories


A flower

A solitary walk into a Robert Frost poem


A ruffley dress and wellie boots. Pretty and practical


 A cat who didn't eat any of the garden animals I love so much


A very old man telling very old jokes


An unhealthy present for a beloved pet


A smell that makes your heart heavy with love


 I hope your Christmas was full of love and magic. Tomorrow I am going to France to visit the teacher and his family. I might be too busy eating cheese and massacring their language to blog much. Stay lovely, petals.
