While our blog is on hiatus pending a redesign and relaunch this fall, I thought I’d at least share with you one of my beauty secrets that makes being green a little easier.  Some of you have already gotten used to – and I’ve heard – may even like the fact that sulfate-free shampoo does NOT lather.  But for those of us who have thick, coarse or curly hair, getting the shampoo to span  scalp to ends, without the aid of foam, can mean we end up using way too much product, which can lead to hair that ends up a  straw-like, dull mess.  Well, I’ve secretly been using a DIY solution for years and I am pleased to reveal to you:

THE MUSTARD BOTTLE

…or an old hair dye squeeze bottle would do.  I’m not sure if I understand exactly why it works but it does – and now  I can’t wash my hair without one.  What you do is add a couple squeezes or pumps of shampoo to the empty bottle.  Fill the rest up with warm water from the shower.  Shake it up pretty good and voila!  You’ve got foam!  This isn’t going to rival the old Johnson & Johnson type of lather that a small child could float on but it will allow you to use the nozzle to evenly dispense the product throughout long or thick hair, and directly onto the scalp without going through half a bottle.

Ok so it’s not rocket science but I bet you hadn’t thought of it yet, had you?!

We just have to mention that one of our favorite customers happens to be the folks over at the amazing SPREAD restaurant in San Diego. They also sell their delectable, must-try organic, vegan peanut spreads on their website, spreadtherestaurant.com. Our entire staff has been pigging out on them for the last couple weeks, spreading them on everything from saltines to fruit to fingers.  We’ve decided the White Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Spread is our favorite.  Spread’s  sets also make great gifts if you can manage to part with them yourself!
