Sometimes it's about the environment, and sometimes it's about health, or saving money, or reducing clutter, not buying into commercialism, trusting God's design, or simply that I just plain like it better. <br /><br />I'm currently working on reducing my need to shower, and my reason is because it makes my life easier to not shower every day. I want to do no poo because I think it would be healthier for my hair, reduce my need to wash as often, and get more products out of my house. But mainly it is just to save myself some time.Lisa Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00110779167509779880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-51711219203574140342010-05-22T13:04:50.341-07:002010-05-22T13:04:50.341-07:00I have been poo free for 11 days now.

It seems that everyday is a struggle here in the beginning and every day the motive is different for staying the course.<br /><br />Good Luck! I've been keeping a daily no poo log and I would love to hear how you fair day to day as well.Kandyhttp://okieinla.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-40005346136428634542010-05-22T02:03:16.511-07:002010-05-22T02:03:16.511-07:00Saving money.

While I do love to shop (at yard sales and thrift stores mostly) I really hate to see money being frittered away on useless things like paper towels and bottled water. If I can get out of buying one of these non-fun items, I will save money AND feel good that it's better for the environment.<br /><br />But the no-poo was because my hair never looked very good and was frizzy, and I thought I'd try to improve it. Plus it's cheap, like you said.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02154415218933660079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-63372044952290538752010-05-21T22:14:31.159-07:002010-05-21T22:14:31.159-07:00I like living my life the way nature intended huma...I like living my life the way nature intended humans to live. Naturally. Although I still haven't tried the no 'poo thing. (I'm scared - also my hair looks really gross when it isn't washed at least every three days). I also think that God or the Universe made our bodies the way they are to be used the way they were intended and to be left alone. Like hello, why do so many people feel the need to wax off their public hair? Isn't it there for a reason? A friend of mine disclosed that the one time she shaved her pubic hair she ended up getting herpes and thinks if she left it she might have been protected. Same goes for underarm and leg hair. These days I choose to shave them but in the 20's I didn't. I changed my mind because I didn't like the way it looked but I do think it's likely supposed to be there to keep us warm.Melodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05859568015767404451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-59608475963439077262010-05-21T15:57:11.262-07:002010-05-21T15:57:11.262-07:00Science.

For instance, I switched to reusable menstrual products, cloth in the kitchen instead of paper towels, and bathroom cloth, because they're comfortable and enjoyable for me and mean there are less things for me to buy. I could make an environmental argument, but mostly they feel good and I don't like shopping! I stopped shaving my legs out of a desire to let my body be natural, but I love it because I'm lazy and don't want to shave.<br /><br />Not using shampoo was similar. When I first heard the idea, I thought, "Oh, one more thing to cross off the to-do list and the shopping list!" Interestingly, then I got dreadlocks (just because I like the look) and now I wash my hair *way* more than I did before!Issahttp://lovelivegrow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000103105398415784.post-78512495724599319672010-05-21T07:34:56.747-07:002010-05-21T07:34:56.747-07:00Hi There :) I think I'm a combination of all ...Hi There :) I think I'm a combination of all the aspects you mentioned. I think it's our responsibility to preserve, protect, and enjoy what God has given us- both our health and our environment. Our bodies are miraculous and capable of awesome things, like nursing our young with perfect nutrition. When our natural balance is upset, we end up having to work really hard to do what should come naturally. I'm just striving to stay balanced and protect what's around me. And when you do less, it's often cheaper, which doesn't hurt!MamaEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16479514627357122709noreply@blogger.com
