Yes, this is also a stretching challenge to achieve optimum strength. If you’re already overdo for a relaxer, I’d suggest a touch up before you enroll. • You may not shampoo more than every other week. If you use a sulfate-free shampoo or an organic shampoo [bar], this can be lowered to once every week. Pre-pooing is strongly suggested, but not required. • You must keep your hair protected when you sleep. Wild nights of passion are not an excuse. Make use of a silk pillowcase, satin scarf …

What are the most important organic baby items to buy?I am about to have my first baby and I think I might be becoming one of those paranoid new moms who reads into everything she hears. I need to use cloth diapers to avoid dioxin, an organic mattress to avoid flame retardant chemicals,etc. Does anyone know what the most important items for the baby are that need to be organic? I do not have the sort of budget that will allow me to go 100% organic. Any suggestions?

1. Glue-like sweet smell of propanone. Colour changes from orange to green.
2. The propan-2-ol is oxidised.
3. Done. It's a ketone.
4. No change in colour. Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidised in this way.
5. Acidified KMnO4.
6. 2-methyl propan-1-ol.
Just because the meat says organic doesn't mean they weren't caged in tight spaces. You want to look for packaging that says free range on it. Those animals are allowed to graze and are feed a good diet.
same herb used for cat nip?

But why ??? lol
Haaahahahaha! Stoned kittys!! xD
LOL that cat at 1:00 gets so fucked up
wow i wanna be a cat right now so bad
Hey MissLiss,
I've heard meats and dairy since the fat in these foods tends to absorb more of the pestcides and growth hormones used in conventional farming. However, I've also started to use organic, unbleached flour in my baking and found that everyting I baked turned out nicer. Of course, organic fruits and veggies (when they're in season) are tastier and healthier. You might even find that there's a co-op organic farm nearby that you can get a membership tp for not too much money.

organic is supposed to be more heathier for u/more "organic". my parents like to buy the organic one but i dnt like it i stick with regular.
yes, but with most things… there is an added expense to "organics" when dealing with things such as vegetables so it would be a cost disaster unless it was the same price as other sources.
organic foods dont have growth hormones in them, causing early puberty and metapause [spelling?]. other chemicals can cause brain damage, liver & kidney damage, and even some cases of learning disabilties. i grew up on organic milk because the cows arnt fed growth hormones to produce more milk and fruits & vegatables because they arnt sprayed with pesticides.
Wow, the things people come up with to separate people from their money.
It's a complete scam and I would wonder about a store that carries such items. Either the owners do not understand what organic foods are or they are into ripping off their customers by selling such useless and likely expensive items. Either way I would find another health food store that is honest and knowledgeable
As the other girl mentioned, organic tampons are probably made of organic cotton. Organic cotton is like a ZILLION times better for the environment than regular cotton. Cotton is a crop that has REALLY high pesticide use, so organic obviously, would be way better than that….
Tampax are a blend between rayon I think and cotton or just rayon? They're at least partially synthetic.
