Is it sad that I am enjoying my day o' nothingness enough that I almost don't want to have to leave the house for my massage?

I don't think it's sad. I do think it might be a sign that you need some more days o' nothingness.

I'm also going to try going without shampoo in general. Just condition (no -cones) and rinse.

Wise move. I do that sometimes if I'm not using product at all. If I'm using product, however, shampoo becomes a needed step.

I'm down with the no -cones part. It is, however, a major pain in the ass to find things without them.

Lee, you're the laziest ever.

I keep saying this, and yet, no one believes me.

On the other hand, BW has nice hot tubs, so I might be able to get warm.

I don't think it's sad. I do think it might be a sign that you need some more days o' nothingness.

Believe it or bot, I'm working on this part.

You know, life IS like a box of chocolates. You don't know what your gonna get.

Well, except chocolate.

Mmmm, chocolate... I need some.

Meyer lemons are sweeter than standard lemons. I substitute with Meyer at will with no ill effects.

It is, however, a major pain in the ass to find things without them.

I'm going with Lush to accomplish this. Which means I actually should go to Lush. Right. Maybe tomorrow.

If I'm using product, however, shampoo becomes a needed step.

The one product I use daily is the Aveda (anti?) humectant. It's very light, and I can't see it leaving much in the way of residue.

Thanks, -t. I hope I have enough for both lemon cake and lemon squares. They also had Persian sweet lemons, and the one I tasted was kinda gross. They'd not sweetened a lemon, exactly, just taken out the punchy tart bits.

For the record, West LA has the lamest farmers market ever. But good tamales. And I don't even like tamales. I need to find where the Santa Monica one went.

OK, what's wrong with -cones?

The theory is, if I get it right, that shampoo's harsher than is good for hair and scalp, and a conditioner rinse will clean your hair but more gently.

However, the silicone family of stuff isn't water soluble, and you can't get it out of your hair without shampoo.

So if you want to go shampoo-free, you have to stop putting the -cones in.

I don't know if there's anything wrong with the -cones themselves, except for the standard everything'll-kill-ya sort of thing.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. Makes sense.

My hair is full o' -cones. Without them, my hair looks like Sideshow Bob hair.
