Product Name(s): Dove - Intensive Repair Shampoo & Conditioner
Earlier this month, I had to run to WalMart to pick up some travel stuff before we headed to Dallas. We usually use Pantene Shampoo & Condition, but lately I haven't really liked it. It made my scalp weird. So, I decided to hold try-outs for my new duo in the form of travel size bottles. I looked around, but there really wasn't a lot of option. I picked up the Dove brand and made my way to check out.
I actually ended up not needing them while we were in Dallas, so, they stayed tucked away in the shower bag. About two weeks ago, I decided to shower in the main bathroom of our house and I brought the little bottles with me since all we have in that bathroom is kid stuff for my son... and I'm sorry, but I just don't do strawberry scented hair.
I'm in the shower... about to lather, rinse, and repeat... when I notice that the tiny bottle reads on the back, "Weightless formula". Okay, cool, no one likes weighted hair, right? I wash, I condition and as with any new duo; the first time is great! My hair feels soft (and manageable!) and since I have no where to go, I opt against putting anything in it. The natural drying method begins.
I get up to go to the restroom awhile later and as I pass by the mirror, WOAH! Weightless formula? Try ANTI-GRAVITY formula! The hair on my head is literally bouncing with each movement. I can only imagine that this is what I would look like in space. Even though thoroughly amused, I grab the spray bottle and tame the voluminous clown-'fro that has formed on my head.
Pro's: Pleasant scented, thick formula, different colored lids for distinguishing the shampoo from the conditioner. Leaves hair feeling soft, clean, without over-doing it.
Con's: I would expect the silver lid to be the shampoo and the white lid to be the condition (but quite the opposite), unless you're going for the Bride of Frankenstein look: I highly recommend some after-care management (such as some de-frizz creme, maybe Dove brand?).
Will I continue to use?: I bought the huuuuge bottles and I don't see anything else jumping off the shelf at me, so, yes.

Things I'm willing to say because you have no idea I'm stalking your FB profile... Part I.
#001 - Going to college should mean more to you than "Oh, I'm in classes... that means I'm smart and better than you".
#002 - You really shouldn't have hooked up with her because I'm pretty darn sure she didn't tell you the whole truth.
#003 - I'm so glad you finally grew up.
#004 - What are we not friends over, again? Couldn't have been THAT big of a deal.
#005 - You totally look better with make-up.
#006 - I think it's pretty effed up that you have a million pictures of yourself, but none of your husband or kids.
#007 - Seriously... you're not "all that". Whoever continues to tell you that is only after one thing. And I'm willing to bet they always get it.
#008 - You were new in town several years ago, I hate to see the crowd you fell in with.
#009 - I really wished we hung out more.
#010 - There is seriously only one way you could have lost THAT MUCH weight. With a side of hearty O.M.G Hahahahaha.

OH NO!
I'm officially lactose intolerant and not happy about it at all.
More to come...
UPDATE: What I thought was lactose intolerance turns out to be an ongoing stomach flu of sorts. Still going. Lovely.

Blog? Oh yeah, that thing!
My blog title was very fitting... Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny! I completely forgot about it until I said to myself, "You should blog.". So, what brought me back?
Sketchers Z-Straps.
I know this is highly hypocritical coming from the mother who just bought her son another pair of these shoes, but Dear Sketchers... Really? Advertising that you'll "Never have to tie your shoes again!". Wow. It's one thing for a lazy parent such as myself to buy them because she has not the patience to teach her son shoe tying just yet. But, to base your whole marketing directive on being lazy??? No wonder childhood obesity is on the rise! Kids these days are not bending over to tie their shoes! I had better go practice looping bunny ears through rabbit holes.
