I was online searching and saw a post from someone with nothing to do with Desperate.  I clicked on it and this is a great quilting site. There are some free block patterns.  Here is also a Desperate Housewives Quilt. I should have made me one of those since I already have an Afghan like the Connor’s had on the Roseanne Show.

I used to buy cream rinse for my hair after I had shampooed. It conditioned my hair quite well. However, it also cost money. It wasn’t a lot, but it is the nickels and dimes that do our budget in. Now, I use a water and white vinegar solution at one part vinegar to four parts of water. I do not rinse out the vinegar and water solution from my hair. This leaves my hair and scalp with no soap residue. My hair seems to have more life after using this solution, and it leaves it soft, shiny, and very manageable. There is no smell of vinegar left in my hair.

When I have finished applying the vinegar and water solution to my hair after shampooing, my hair does not feel nice, but when my hair is dry, it is soft, shiny, and full of life. It feels very clean and well conditioned for a fraction of the cost of cream rinse. This solution also really cleans your scalp.

I buy white vinegar in a large container as I also use it for cleaning windows and mopping my laminate floor. There is just a myriad of things that I use white vinegar for.

The above tip came from www.stretcher.com  This is a great informative site I get emails from about frugal living.  Also once a week or so if you will take some vinegar and wet your hair and then rub a handful of baking soda in your hair with the vinegar it will fizz up and strip out all the hairspray and gel that the shampoo does not get. Your hair will be sparkling clean .  We used to do this as kids and I have continued in my adult life. It gets rid of the gunky stuff that sticks to our hair. Gives it shiny life again. Squeeky clean. Just shampoo as you normally do rinse and then put the vinegar rinse on and rub in the baking soda. VERY EASY.

Sign up at www.stretcher.com  for their great emails. They do not bog your box down, do not sell you email or spam you to no end. I have been getting emails from them for a long time and each one is VERY informative with great tips.
