    I don't believe in guilty pleasures, because I don't believe my pleasure should ever induce guilt. And, I'll take one of those burritos. Yes, please.

  • : So saddened to hear of the death of Anthony Shadid, a 2x Pulitzer Prize winning NYTimes journalist from Oklahoma. His work was historical.
  • : Once in my life I went 2.5 days w/o washing my hair. That might have been this week... Oh, gross! Headed to the shower!!
    i've done it. lol! sometimes there isn't time for a shower!
    I only wash my hair twice a week...
    Unfortunately, I was born with a massive amount of oil that gives me no choice but to wash almost daily. Sometimes I'll skip a day but it's kind of icky. @sassymonkey - I can see how those with longer hair might need to only wash theirs a couple of times each week. I have a news reporter friend who has very long hair - she uses dry shampoo for between days.
    @Red Dirt Kelly I don't dry shampoo or anything. It took awhile to work up to it. First it was every second day and then once my hair started getting used to that I could go for three. I just... I have a lot of hair. Blow drying it every day was not great for it and it took too bloody long. I don't know how I used to do it every day.
    I wash my hair four to five times a week - it dreads very easily and needs lots of conditioning.
    @victorias_view Have you ever just wanted dreads...just once? To understand the experience? I totally have. But, in the words of my son-in-law who tried it once, "Getting them 'dreaded' at first hurts like a mother.'"
    @Red Dirt Kelly Once upon a time we were without water for three days and my hair just dreaded naturally. I think they are pretty funky but definitely would not coordinate well with my Mom jeans ;)
