My Chemical Romance

Not the band but my actual romance with chemicals. I hate them but I can't live without them...yet. As in any toxic relationship, I'll probably need therapy to break myself free. What the heck am I talking about? My shower and medicine chest are full of chemicals.

I try to use all natural products and food and yet I have standard shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face cleanser, facial lotion, body lotion, the list goes on and on. I feel such incredible guilt every time I shower and shave and apply lotion that I'm almost ready to toss everything and start fresh.

I recently wrote about how I have to dye my prematurely grey hair every couple of months. I decided to look for an alternative to that. Someone told me about henna hair dye and this source told me I can find it for blondes. So I'm going to take a look in Whole Foods to see what I can find. While I'm there, I'm going to look for some new shampoo and conditioner, too.

So I'm making my public pledge to wean off the chemicals and onto more natural products. I'll keep you updated on my journey. I'm sure it won't be an easy one but it's certainly a necessary one.
