Hello out there!

It's been a busy fall as demonstrated by my lack of posts in almost two months.

Needed to get over the hurdle of this first return post transition.

I'll be back, I promise.

Hard Water Hair Fixes

Add to the seemingly unending list of "Things Amy Didn't Know about Country Life" that hard water minerals can build up and cause hair to darken, mat, tangle, feel stiff, brittle, and/or greasy.  

In a series of serendipitous interactions including a well-informed teenager, I learned that the same shampoo we had used after swimming to remove chlorine also works remarkably well to remove other hard water minerals. 

Holy smokes!  After a couple uses of the Malibu shampoo and conditioner, Anjali's hair lightened several shades and mine is the softest it's been in many, many years.  

Now, it's only Malibu for us.
