Hygea Healthy Bite: Why I’ll Never Use Regular Shampoo Again

by

By LISA BAKOSI, MS, CHC

I haven’t used shampoo in two months – well the traditional kind anyway. This column is all about why I’ll never go back to expensive traditional products.

What have I been doing instead, you ask?

I’ve been washing my hair with a mixture of baking soda and water. More recently I tried a new recipe called Sweet Tangerine and I LOVE it. Then for conditioner I use a mixture of apple cider vinegar and water to boost shine. I was surprised at how much I like this method. I never thought I could go two days between washings but alas it’s possible. Not to mention how much money I’m saving by Read More

Wild Neighbors: Ground Squirrel
Column by Carolyn A. (Cary) Neeper, Ph. D.

One day, while searching for something under the house, husband Don opened one of the small doors to the crawl space and found it totally blocked with dirt. He shoveled out two full wheelbarrow-loads, but didn’t find the cause of the dirt eruption.

Two days later the same crawl space was blocked again. Another two wheelbarrow-loads had mysteriously appeared in the crawl space. Again he shoveled it out and filled the empty space, adding moth balls. The next day the dirt was piled up again, with the moth Read More

Solo Traveler: Fun with Billboards
By SHERRY HARDAGE

A few years ago I wandered across the United States to the east coast and drifted back over a period of three months. I camped in my van (basically a tent-on-wheels) or stayed with friends and relatives along the way. It was a wonderful time-alone trip that allowed me to get a visceral feel for just how big this country really is.

Along the way, I drove in silence, listened to music, or “read” a recorded book. I learned the hard way that fiction was a bad idea. Happily visualizing voracious vampires while listening to an Anne Rice novel, I almost slammed Read More

Angkor Wat was first a Hindu, then subsequently a Buddhist, temple complex in Cambodia. It is the largest religious monument in the world.

Construction on Angkor Wat first began in the 12th Century AD and became the largest preindustrial city in the world measuring at least 1,000 square kilometers. Today, Angkor Wat is much more than just a bunch of old buildings. An entire community of people still live within the protected area.

There are houses, schools, restaurants and shops. Angkor Wat is a UNESCO World Heritage Read More

Introduction: Teralene Foxx

Over the past year, Sydney, our grandaughter, traveling the world with her parents has blogged about different foods: She was eight when they began their travels and turned nine in September. What amazes me is that she is willing to try all these different foods.
