2. Target sells Monchichis! All together now:
"Monchichi, monchichi, so furry soft and cuddly!"
Do you remember the line "monchichi, monchichi, I can do karate!" or did I make that up? That is very much how I remember the jingle going as a child!
3. Speaking of monchichis, my hair on the no'poo regime was beginning to resemble one, so I washed it. With shampoo. I'm pretty sure it saved my marriage. After almost 2 weeks of John moving in for a kiss and me shrieking "DON'T TOUCH ME! I'M HIDEOUS!!!", it was time for a change. A change in a cleaner feeling direction.

With her thumb in her mouth she's really sweet. (something-something) tickle her little feet...
Oh yes, my sister and I coveted the monchichis. Now I'm going to have the monchichi song in my head all day! ;)
oh man, you almost had me convinced to try the no 'poo life... despite it being called "no 'poo".... and you know me and my hair....
have fun selling this weekend! i hope it doesn't rain on you guys! i'm cravin' some crunchy almonds. deeee-lish!!!
No idea what a monchichi is! Where have I been?
I was interested in the no 'poo, too! We're almost out of our current shampoo/conditioner...what should I get? This was the next phase of products that were going to be replaced but I have no idea where to start! PLEASE SHARE!!!
I tried the "no 'poo" thing about six months ago and hated it. I made it almost three weeks and felt disgusting the whole time. I couldn't stand the smell. The worst part was that my hair is very thick and wavy so it had the worst tangles I've ever had. I finally gave in and washed it with shampoo...and loved every minute of it! I guess I'm not that granola after all. :)

Chrys-
My hair is like yours- thick and wavy. So yeah, it wasn't pretty. Mine never smelled vinegary or anything, but it felt so heavy and oily. Yuck!

Girl...monchichis were all the rage in the early 80's. There was a cartoon and everything.
As far as shampoo goes, I like Aubrey Organics. They are one of the purest shampoos I've found. Lately I've been using Alaffia. I love that it is fair trade. It's also made with coconut oil (which I am sure makes up about 75% of my body chemistry by this point). However, it can start feeling pretty heavy too. Oh, I also like Avalon Organics. Burt's Bees is another good place to start- easy to find. It's been a little drying for me.
I stay away from Jason's and Nature's Gate. Neither one are as 'natural' as they claim.
I remember the karate addition to the monchichi song, too! I also remember it going like this, "Monchichi, monchichi...I can do karate. Monchichi, monchichi...oops I am sorry!" ;-) Thank you for bringing out fond memories of my monchichi! I have to go to Target and get one for my friend who is about to have a little girl.
I am totally lost about the monchichis, but I am glad to hear about your no-poo journey. I tried it for 6(!) whole weeks of nastiness before I finally gave up and switched back to shampoo. I laughed out loud when reading you ducking from your husband--I did the same exact thing!
LOL. Ok, I haven't even tried it yet, but maybe I will. Or maybe I will finally try making my own soap/shampoo bars and let you know how that goes! Maybe both. Hmmm, did I just commit? Hope not. I seem to be on a sloowwww pace these days!

Glad to hear no'poo is over. Glad you did it so I won't have to! ;-) I had my doubts. IT sounded like a good idea. If baking soda works on my sink, tub and, armpits, then why not my hair? I could see it. Oh well.
I remember the song, but never had the doll. I'm sure I had the knock-off monkey doll at some point.
Hey - did you know that Clorox bought Burt's Bees? It's not as appealing to me now that I know Clorox owns it. Fortunately, I never really loved any of their products.
