Are those who feel guilt Too small to make an impact on resources, environment, sustainability
Or are those of us who care keeping ourselves small not using our resources to grow wealth and security
Can we actually make an impact. Are we one person trickle down, or up. All of our actions compacted to change a society.
In a panic, I awake, sleepy disoriented. What time of day is it? A nap, cozy, mid day. Hum of heat pushed through vents, hot water for the shower, roof over head. Yet the kid wants to shop 20 min away. Gas my dear. Doesn’t come cheap. Time equals money. Are you going to pay me. Guilt again not being the mother of his dreams.
I have a headache today. It’s the formaldehyde that seeped into my personal hair room in the salon I now work out of. The industry is filling shelves with new products that avoid the toxic label, yet when heated to a certain temp they omit formaldehyde.
Instant headache. That’s the first reaction. Dizzy, nausea, ear pain so intense it feels as though I have an ear infection. Throbbing. Throat scratchy. But that’s not the worst part. Fuzz. My mental state slows down. I can barely comprehend what my client is saying. Barely see what I am doing. Good thing I can do a haircut by feel, I’ve been doing it so long.
I can’t share my challenge but I warn you it’s exciting! Now in the works. At the moment I can only spread the word. I’d love a chemist to help. I use how I feel as my guide and do my research. Wow Dream Coat is said to have removed DMDM Hydantoin which turns to formaldehyde yet I still have this severe reaction to that product and to a few other smoothing products. Glad I like my frizz.
