hello, my love.

So, lately, my scalp has been itching like crazy! (And don’t worry, it’s not lice - I checked!) I told my mom and she totally Google’d it on her iPhone like a pseudo tech savvy parent. You know the ones I’m talking about. Wanna know what we found out?

There’s a chemical in most leading, brand-name shampoos that causes dry scalps, hence the itchiness. That same chemical - sodium lauryl/laureth sulfate - is used to clean garage floors. Nasty. Upon learning this, my mom decided its time for a change… Yesterday she went to GNC and bought Burt’s Bees Shampoo and Conditioner and a shampoo and conditioner from a company made my “The Redmond Family.” Now she’s concerned about the rest of the bathroom supplies, after reading that the same chemical is in many body soaps. And she’s concerned about the shaving gel. Mothers.

Moral of the story? Don’t ask… Just Google it. Oh, and maybe a little bit of this: Don’t let your parents own a smart phone.
