Hi, Yes I have that same pain you do. Mine is caused by arthritis, bulging disc and stenosis all in my neck. I am now having physical therapy and along with that I have acupuncture that is combined with a little massage. This combo works very well in getting rid of the stiffness in my...

I use Basic G Hi, I love the basic G cleaner and have been using it for over a year. It is concentrated so it lasts a long time. I ordered the spray bottles from Shaklee too and they are very good quality. Cindy

Hi Kathryn, I make my own liquid by simmering soap nuts in water. Then letting them sit overnight and strain them into bottles the next day. But it is nice to know it is for sale in liquid form too. Cindy

did you use it as shampoo? Hi Kathryn, did you use the soap nuts liquid as a shampoo? I am having good results with it but everybody is different. It took about 3 weeks for me to notice these results in my hair. I got my soap nust at Mountain Rose Herbs in Oregon. A pound cost...

Natural conditioners Hi Sparrow, I haven't made my own conditioner yet. I like Aubrey Organice and Surya brand. Lately I use Surya most often. I tried the Wen cleansing cream and it is a nice texture and they all smell wonderful but after a while my hair got that full, puffy kind of...

Hi, I like natural products that do not contain ingredients that strip our hair and skin of the natural oils. That is one reason that I have been making my own cold processed soap for 15 years now. I recently started using soap nuts to make a liquid cleaner that I use on my hair. It...

Lee Comfort or control fit? Hi, I have seen a commerical for Lee and Wrangler jeans called comfort fit or control fit. I forget which. They are supposed to fit at the waist without the open gap in the back and have control top at the waist for a "slimming" look. Are those the type...

Snow shoes Hi Gayle, I bought some aluminum snow shoes this past summer, (inexpensive on Craig's list) for the exact reason that you mention. It is so important to find something that make me enjoy the snow and cold. No bugs or humidity is really nice too. Once I'm out moving or...

Hi, I live in Massachusetts and I know what you mean about the long winters. Going into work in the dark and getting home in the dark. One thing that helps me is to get outside during my lunch break and take a walk. When it the sun is out it is so uplifting. Even if the sun isn't shining...

I don't spend a lot. Hi, My haircut costs $20.00 and that is all I have done so far. I had highlights once about 3 years ago and liked the results that cost about $60.00 at the time. I currently do some of my own coloring using products that are supposed to have less harmful chemicals...

That is funny Hi Lauramax, That is funny. Sometimes I feel like I swell up like some of the beans that I sprout. Cindy

Hi, They are easy to grow but do require some care like rinsing and draining them well. They are worth it though. There is a web site called Sprout People that has a lot of info on this or you could search for sprouts and see what you find. It is best to start out small. Cindy

Hi all, Do any of you grow and eat sprouts? I started doing this a few months ago and still learning but really enjoying it. They are high in nutrition, low in calories. Some of myf avorite tiny seeds are alfalfa, clover, cress, broccoli. For beans I like mung, adzuki, lentils...

Elliemom, I think that frugal is the word to describe us. I think you are doing a great thing and it will teach your kids how to do the same when they are adults. It is an important skill to have. I was lucky enough to have parents that were sensible with money and frugal so it is easy...

Hi, I'm 48 years old now and don't have children. I think it was the right choice for me personally. Even at a young age I felt that I may never want to have children. There were times in the past that I thought I might regret never having kids but so far that has not happend. As I get...

Hi Laurie, I understand your fear of hearing the word cancer. It must be terrifying. I know of a few women that had cervical cancer over the years and they are all alive and well. I don't know them that well to know exactly what type they had but I think it is a very good thing they all...

Well Said Coradora, Well said,you are absolutely right. I can't count how many times in my life I have been criticized for doing what is morally right but I have never regretted doing what I felt was the best, honest thing to do. =coradora;1749881]The point of caring is that it makes...

Jodi, You are right, goodwill is great for those who have kids too. I recently bought two cashmere sweaters for $3.00 each at a thrift shop. We have a lot of Salvation Army thrift shops around and I find great things there. It is always worth going there first before going to a store and...

Hi Mindy, I know what you mean, it is difficult to make ends meet. I have kept my pre order of STS but am selling many of the DVDs that I have and don't use enough. If they all do sell this will make up for the money I have spend on STS. Most of the workout DVDs I buy now are used from...
