I love Alton Brown!! I tape Good Eats on the cooking channel every friday night!! I have hooked up my kitchen Good Eats Style and can't believe how much more fun cooking is. I know that sounds stupid and cornball but it's true. The farting and burping yeast sock puppets kill me every time!!
I use it on my hair. I have no problem washing it out.
Put on your hands - use your shampoo to see if it would remove the coconut oil. .
I use very little worm it up. Brush in.

I couldnt live without my long handled dust pan. My kids will sweep but its like they do the middle only lol.... and yes I think they do on purpose so I will not ask again. I do the same with mowing the lawn... I let them do it, they are so much better than I am ... wink wink.
HW 350 SW 309 CW 150 Surgery 06/12/14 I admit I'm a scale addict. My life is now amazing and God is guiding me thru every step of the way.
Yes right now I've been looking on Craigs list for a new to me but used vacuum too. Found a dyson near me for $200; may call when money comes in to see if they will take less; it looks to be in really good shape but I would want to try it out. I went on a cleaning frenzy too before my surgery & do heavy cleaning before November as we always have a b'day party for my daughter & Christmas company. Clorox wipes are one of my favorite things in the world! My Electrolux vacuum died yesterday & I cleaned the brush roll on an older dirt devil pet but it doesn't work too well.

I just got a Hoover vacuum for $15 at Goodwill. I love it. That sucker can suck! I also bought a Bissell Pro heat carpet steamer off of Craigslist for $40 that is wonderful. And a $30 Little Green Spot Bot off of Craigslist that I can use if one of my dogs decides that the carpet is better then going outside. My favorite gadget is a spray mop I got at Grocery Outlet for $20. My downstairs is not carpeted and the dogs drag all kinds of dirt in from outside. I was using a steam cleaner on the floors but it was such a hassle to get out, fill with water and use. This thing is so handy. I just keep the bottle filled and every day I clean the floors. It also has a mop like fringe around the pad so while I am mopping it also sweeps up the dirt so I can get it in a pile and sweep it up. I use a little dust pan with brush I got at the dollar store. I have one in every room so I can take care of spills right away, too.
I also bought some cleaning wipes for a dollar and keep them in all the rooms so I can wipe up the counters after I use them. I have always hated housework and my home showed it. I got into a cleaning frenzy a few months ago and cleaned all my rooms, closets, shed, pantry, refrigerator, everything I could find. I have pretty much no storage so I have been putting up shelves and organizing things. I am determined to keep my house clean and I would rather put in the time every day to keep it clean then to have to spend hours a day for weeks to get it into shape. I was tired of not wanting people over because I was embarrassed for them to see my house. Part of the problem was just being sick for a long time and not having the energy to clean and then being overwhelmed at how bad it got. Now I feel good and I have the energy to keep it clean.
I want to make it as easy as possible to clean and keep it clean, that is why I got the vacuum and steam cleaner and stuff. It is convenient and easy to use so I don't have an excuse not to do it. I am actually finding that I like cleaning almost as much as I like having a clean house.
