Another creepy dream… and a rant
I had another freaky dream last night. This time there were these ultra intelligent toddlers being brainwashed in some kind of cult preschool and I had to bust them out by letting my nephew infiltrate their organization. I ended up blowing the place up… after I got my nephew back out of course. But all the kids were trying to take him back saying he “had not yet released his burden.” CreeEEEEEpyyyyyyyyy!
I’m actually still really tired. I have to figure out what the heck is banging on the roof and nail that sucker down! So what if the interrupted sleep seems to enhance my dream recall… I’d rather sleep! lol Least I have off an extra day from work because of the holiday I guess. I told my boss that she can put me on Christian holidays. I don’t mind. But so far, she hasn’t. I think it’s a pay thing. At least I’ll either get more sleep (unlikely since my nephew is over this weekend [every weekend] and he is a noisy boy) or clean.
In other news… why do shampoos insist upon including citric acid in their ingredients? I’m allergic to it and it seems like everytime I find one that doesn’t have it in, they change the freakin formula. I was using a Dove moisturizing shampoo and conditioner for over a year, no problems. So what do they do? Add the citric acid without warning and not change the bottle for a month or so. I was wondering why I was getting sores on my scalp and split ends. So then they changed the bottle and surprise, surprise! Citric acid in the mix. Thanks Dove. Thanks for your so-called “gentle” shampoo. Jerks. Before the Dove shampoo, I was using Pantene and they did the same freakin thing! It’s really frustrating! I mean, I don’t think people without allergies really understand the impact they have on your life. It used to be that all I had to do was check foods to make sure they didn’t have any citrus, malic acid, or chocolate. Now I have to check anything I intend to use on my skin as well. It’s going to come to a point that I just use mayonaise, eggs, and beer in my hair or something. All items which are supposedly good for hair…. but eeew! Eventually I’m gonna be the crazy hippy chick who washes her hair in mud or something… until I find out they’ve added something to the mud that gives me horns.

This was New Year’s Day in Mesopotamia.

Perhaps there is a purer shampoo at a Whole Foods Market or store like it that may have a citric acid free product. You may end up having to make your own and order ingredients like Yuka, but I would think the co-operatives would have an alternative for you.

I’ll keep an eye out for anything I see without citric acid. I just checked the Avon shampoo my daughter likes but it has it in there as well.
horns!! ha ha ha
they do that with a lot of things now and consumers have to be really allert to the changes. they are starting to put caffine inside candy bars and ice cream now. i am not suppose to have caffine (i really don’t know anything i’m allergic to other htan animals and greenery) but i sneak a little every now and again but when i try to get back on the caffine diet i have to watch everything. i use to use dove deodorant and was working well until they changed something in it and broke me out. i’m giving it another whirl though. hopefully they’ve changed back.
Beer huh?
*giggles*
@madmorrigan - Yeah, the problem is, I don’t live anywhere near any of the healthfood stores I go to, so I’d have to buy a half dozen to last me between visits.
@nevragn - Thanks. I’ll probably end up ordering shampoo from online stores or something in the future if I can find something without the citrus. It’s hard though. If it has natural ingredients sometimes they don’t list the citric acid, but I wouldn’t know it if they had some kind of outre citrus fruit snuck in there. The fruit is not quite as bad as the man-made citric acid (not as strong), but if I used it enough, I’d know it.
@NightlyDreams - I wouldn’t count on it with the dove deodorant. I’ve been having the same problem. I got some because I had a coupon, but I really need to switch back to secret.
