After reading about Sean Bonner's BoinBoing piece and Blog entry and linked paleo posts - and a fair amount of "Ask Dr. Google" - I decided to try this experiment on myself.
So far it's a raging success for me. I'll post my daily experience here - good and bad.
Day one was Thursday 06 January 2011. I picked this day to start as I had no meetings or scheduled face-to-face interactions until 5:00 or 6:00 p.m. If the smell got really detectable I'd shower again in the evening.
So, quick 5 - 7 minute shower with water only. No soap. No shampoo.
Just me and my bod and warm water on it.
I probably overdid the scrubbing a little this first day. Just a little over sensitive to my and others' body smells. And my normally oily hair.
That's the part that may be more challenging: the hair.
More soon...
Today's joke:
Poo for everyone for Christmas:
Shampoo for my real friends.
Real poo for my sham friends.
Except, no-poo for my real real friends.
It's so good.
