SweetPea Registry (Update)

**Update/Edit: To help make things a little easier, and to add a few things I forgot (go figures). I also did a little bit of a registry on Amazon. So please stop by and take a look at it!**


This is a little bit of a twirk to the previous registry! Hopefully this is a bit easier for people as well as myself! I want to make sure people know that I do still want to stay as local and low impact as possible on the environment. So for my wonderful family on the coast and outside of Arkansas, please remember I will still be ecstatic for you to go to a goodwill-thrift shop-resale shop rather than buy brand new. While there are a small handful of items I prefer (want) new, I don't want everything new.

Broccoli Quesadilla??

I would like to think that this will be toddler approved. Because I love it. And if I love it, SweetPea is going to have to eat it. Right? ;)

About a two weeks ago, I bought some broccoli to make Broccoli Cheddar Bites (don't worry at some point I will make this and give you the recipe!!). Needless to say I have not made the bites. I would like to blame it on the fact that my shredder is still lost in transition from moving. Either way I needed to use it, wanted to use it and am kinda craving it.

SweetPeas Registry

This is going to seem a bit complicated at first, but really this way makes it easier for all of us. I have decided to do a registry on Pinterest. I am on a tight budget, just like I know all of you are. Not to mention, I would rather be as local (for all areas), as low impact to the environment and as budget friendly as possible. Here are a few very important things to keep in mind:

Hair Experiment #1

I meant to post this a LOT earlier. Like the day after I did it. But low and behold, work, school and the want of a TON of sleep kinda got in the way. :/

So since the pregnancy (and we'll go ahead and blame it on the weather too) I have had dry skin. Everywhere. My feet are worse than usual, my hands, my legs, I've even started having dandruff. Which is a huge pain in the butt. I don't even wash my hair every day; once, twice maybe three times a week.

While looking at Pinterest (of course) I ran across something that said egg yolks were great for hair.

Light bulb.

So I saved up some yolks, roughly six of them. I believe. Too be honest, I don't really like to eat the yolks; when scrambled they smell like a wet dog, they have the most cholesterol of the whole egg, they tend to be difficult to make over medium and I can't stand over easy.

My hair is MUCH MUCH shorter than a few weeks ago so all I needed was six. If your hair is longer than just above the shoulder you will need more yolks.

 

Now just carefully put the yolks that are still intact in your hair first. They are easier to control. Also make sure you have a shirt on that you don't care if it gets messy. Be prepared to have yolk dripping everywhere. I did this over my bathroom sink.

I was planning on pulling it up and putting it in a shower cap, if you want to then go for it. But I found that my short hair didn't need one.

I applied the yolks to the top first, trying to coat the sides and the same time. Then flipped my hair over to get the underside. This is where it gets messy.

What I thought was really interesting is how much like hairspray this is!!! It's also pretty entertaining. The yolks will dry fairly fast, I ended up leaving them in my hair for far too long, about four hours. I suggest just leaving it in for one hour.

My hair right before I jumped in the shower. The yolks were very dry and very difficult to get out of my hair. I had to apply shampoo about three times to try and make sure I had it all out. Even after the shower there were still a few pieces I had to brush out. But my hair was a lot smoother and this whole week I haven't had to deal with dandruff at all.
