I tend to rotate between 2-3 products for each thing with body wash, deodorant, lotion, and shampoo/conditioner. The only things I can keep consistent is skincare for my face. Eventually everything else stops working unless I’m rotating regularly

I have, and it definitely trampled up the grass. Like there was a small digger driving around on it. They have to break up the concrete and lay down the side thingies and then drive a cement truck in.

Also, it is a lot more expensive than you think. Cement work is shockingly $$$ and very boring.

My standards are pretty low and I mostly use stuff that I get from BN or Aldi, so it switches up a lot and I’m not brand loyal.

Some shampoo is nicer than others, but hair is already dead, so I don’t think it can somehow adapt to your product.

My parents did this maybe about 15 years ago. As I recall, we had to lay down sod around the driveway after they were done with the concrete work. It did fill in rather nicely, though.

In my experience, yes.

I think it’s likely my scalp/head skin that’s adapting. And producing more or less oil. I also have curly hair, so I can pretty easily tell when a shampoo or whatever stops working. I’m also a freebie/V05/whatever person. For this reason. I’ve paid actual money for conditioners that made my hair look really nice and then before the bottle is even gone my hair is either becoming oily or dust dry, or just looking real bad.
Thank goodness for freebies.

I have the same, I got it under control by using only light conditioner included in the hair wash and changing more ore less daily between the shampoo with conditioner and a pure cleaning one. If I use only the cleaning one my hair gets dry after a few days, with the conditioning part it gets oily after a few days. With the daily / every two day rotation it’s working out.
I am lucky and found a liquid shower “creamy oil” that has no fragrance, no added chemicals, no colorants etc. which is working for a few years now. In terms of deodorant, I use two in an alternating way, use one bottle up and change to the other one. That’s easy as a routine.
I use no dedicated lotion or skin care, I have a basic cream, fragance free (with some ocean water ingredients) which is recommended for atopic dermatitis. I use it for face and body and Its working out well. Most of the other stuff has to many ingredients I react on, and tbh, my cream is cheap compared to all the other stuff.

I hope, you find also the right products for you.

I wash my hair less and less often now, and it has made my scalp so much happier. Once a week turns out to be just right for me.

Last week I was so sweaty and it was so humid. I looked in the mirror had perfect little ringlets all around my face - and where were those all the times I tried to curl my hair?? Hmph.

Haha I get it. I only wash my hair once a week and if for some reason, I have to miss the one class at the gym that makes me have to wash it every week (I get so sweaty in that class it’s like I’ve been swimming) then I’ll wait 10 days, 12, and even two weeks.

I’m not sure I’d call it “delightful” lol but it’s apparently a good thing! I’m very happy to be seeing pollinators. It was here for a few minutes, long enough for me to get my phone out of the house. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one before and my first reaction was “wtf” :rofl:

That’s what I thought too. I have never seen one either.

Initially we bumped into each other because I didn’t see it. That was definitely surprising.

Haha that was me with this bumblebee friend napping in my green beans this morning. I was quite surprised when I was harvesting and woke him up.

If I have a chart like this, how do I ask the computer to do a second line that’s the more smoothed out thing? If that even makes sense. Or even if it’s a second chart with the same data set.

You can add a second data set that’s the same as the first, but use a “smooth” line type for the graph. BTW, I use Libre Office, so I don’t know what they call it in Excel, if that’s what you use.
