Easter Grass


Remember back on February 12th when I encouraged you to grow your own Easter grass? Now is the perfect time to start your grass so it will be ready on Easter (April 12th). Click here for the directions.

Now - a completely different topic. I have 2 tips for beautiful hair. They are pretty basic.

This is pretty much what I looked like before I cut my long hair.

1. Unless you have very oily or short hair, don't wash it everyday. Longer hair is like a silk shirt. Would you wash a silk shirt everytime you wore it? No, you wouldn't because the shirt would quickly begin to look old and worn. Same deal with your hair. So if your hair is longer skip a day or 2 (if you can stand it!) it is so much better for your hair and often I find that second day hair is much cuter than first day hair (and think of all the time you will save!).

2. When you shampoo, apply shampoo to your scalp and hair right next to the scalp. You don't need to shampoo the ends every time you shower, that just dries them out. The sudsy water rinsing through the ends of your hair is enough.

And BONUS! one more tip: use a leave-in conditioner every time.

That's all I got, baby.

Victory Gardens- The New Trend!

Michelle Obama just planted a veggie garden. I am pretty sure that they will be calling it a Victory Garden by harvest time.


Today your bossing is: Plant something this year. Plan it now and plant it in May.

Go to GardenWeb.com for advice on how, what, and where to plant. You can plant a flowerpot, a few herbs, or a full on veggie garden. You can include your children or just do it alone (it is a relaxing hobby). Just make sure you do it.

Tip: my favorite book for flower gardening is the Temple Square Gardening book. It is great for beginners and experienced gardeners.
