Hello, Since two weeks I'm using conditioner only to wash my hair. I have curls and my hair shines more and I have less fizz. So this is working fine for me. Does anybody else also avoid SLS in their hair? And use just...

Did you read this book? What did you think about it? Were you able to put it away before the book was finished? Did you recommend the book to family or friends? I would like to hear what you thought about the book!

mienkoos My boyfriend tends to get into the wrong car a lot! When we were driving through Australia in hired cars he wanted to step into the wrong car a few times. And on the wrong side (I did that a lot too). But the most astonishing story (but true!) is that my...

My boyfriend and I are really addicted to the game mario kart. We've got it two weeks ago, but if we've got time, we play this game. We've got more games for the WII, but we just play this one at the moment. The karting is nice,...

mienkoos Is the DS version very different then the WII version? My niece and nephew came along the day we first got mario kart and they have a DS and just knew everything about mario kart. But they may play this game with their friends too. It's nice to see these...

mienkoos I also love to play WII sports! My boyfriend and I play since a few weeks with two remotes together. Especially tennis is nice then, although my boyfriend always wins... I don't know Wario Ware. Is it a nice game? What are the things you do with the game?...

mienkoos 6 Pounds! That's really good! Do you see some changes in how you look? I've noticed that if I'm exercising I see much earlier that I'm slimmer, then if I'm not exercising. You're going good! I'm having problems getting started. I'm still in a stressfull...

mienkoos And your belly doesn't grow anymore? Or are you getting slimmer? Sometimes you just need to see what a change is doing to you and then you'll be able to keep it that way. Because adding butter to the food is also a habit. For me it was a habit and I didn't...

mienkoos I also use a non stick pan to reduce the fat. But I also noticed that with some things it's hard to use just a little bit of fat. When I bake an egg it only tastes good when I use more butter then normal. But for the rest I use less butter and mostly olive...

mienkoos That's a good idea to use margarine. Thanks for the hint! Are seasonings also bad for your health? I use a lot of herbs when I'm cooking to season the food. It's good that it has become a habit to eat healthy. That's what I want for me too. That it's normal to...

mienkoos Good that you like food thats low fat, and yes you can or maybe must use butter then to make sure you get enough fat. Because not enough fat is also not healty. What kind of food do you eat then? I'm very curious! Thanks for the response

mienkoos We hear a lot about high cholesterol here too. That's one off the reasons I'm trying to reduce the fat I use to cook. A grill is a good idea. Is a Foreman Grill a special one? Or is it a normal grill? We sometimes use the grill, but not a lot. Could use it...

mienkoos Don't feel guilty about eating bad lately, just try to pick it up again and eat healty. It helps me if I weight myself each week and write down how much I weigh at that moment. And measuring my waist and write it down. At the moment I'm using a CD-rom of...

mienkoos I wrote I don't judge people who spank their child. It's just illegal here and I personally would avoid spanking, but I also said I understand people who spank their child. In my work I officially have to report abuse if I notice spanking, but I don't. A lot...

mienkoos In the Netherlands spanking is illegal. You can get in really big troubles if people know you do it. But I know a lot of people still do it, simply because they've got no other way to react to the things they're child is doing. Though I'm opposed against...

mienkoos I've just started on CIAO, but it takes me about 30 minutes. I think it's also because English is not my first language, so the more technical words for the reviews are harder to find. But you're right that starting a discussion on mylot takes more time,...
