Lsquared - I got my hair dyed the day of my 2nd beta. I did some research beforehand and from what I could find, there is no evidence that it is harmful. It is recommended that you are in a well ventilated area though.

silverspoon - orange pledge for stainless steel? Like the kind of pledge that you use for dusting? We got a new fridge and dishwasher last summer and I swear DH is like a 5 year old with the hand prints he leaves everywhere. I haven't found anything so far that seems to do a good job and doesn't leave streaks.

Yes, the kind you use for dusting. It has to be orange though. I tried the lemon and it was a no go.

You just spray it on and I wipe it with an old washcloth going with the grain. I swear it works better than anything else and I've tried s stthe so many stainless cleaners. It takes almost no elbow grease and weird steaks don't appear as soon as you walk away like so many others have left.

Totally going to try that, silverspoon. Thanks for the tip!

@mrsrogersaz even for single process color? I've had grey hairs since I turned 25 and foils just don't do it for me. I feel like I look like Cruella Deville right now so this is making me feel so much better!

I'm waiting until 2nd tri to dye my roots, although it sounds like there's not a lot of evidence that it's definitely harmful.

I use Moroccan Oil hair products (parabens and phosphate free), but I already did that.

I use organic lotion/body wash from Whole Foods but I also already did that. We also already used green cleaning products(Mrs Meyers and some 7th generation stuff).

But, I'm not changing up my face cream. I tried organic last go around and looked old and wrinkly and was broken out the whole time (seriously, what's up with that combo?!). Uh uh.

Lsquared - here is the article I read when I was trying to decide whether to cancel my appointment or not.

H already painted the nursery gray. I was at work while he did it and it was before I got KU. I bought zoya nail polish. I love it. I've switched over to all Burt bee's lotion face cleanser and acne treatment. Anyone have a recommendation on a good shampoo parabens free? Is Burt bee's any good?

I use the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lavender mint shampoo and conditioner. They are paraben free and I really like it. As a bonus, it's a really refreshing smell first thing in the morning.

Thanks!

Another question ladies - how about home cleaning products???

I switched over to mostly using vinegar or vinegar-water a few years ago.  I will use bleach-water if I need a bit more disinfectant power than what vinegar gives me.
