Beginning of Day 4
Hello time for a "No Poo" update.
 
  So today is Day 4 after washing my hair for the first time with Bi-carb and Vinegar; it's starting to feel a bit greasy but today is the day I'd normally wash my hair so I think it's going well so far!
  I'm also really excited because I've created a Facebook page so more people can know about my challenge =o) Hello to all my facebook friends who have come by (wave)
 
  So far I have $300 towards my course fees, I've paid for my flights to and from Perth $500, and renewed my passport $350! Praise God for His provision and please continue to join me in prayer for the needed finances.
  Thanks for dropping by, hope you have a nice day!

"No Poo" Challenge

Before trying No Poo for the first time
  My next adventure is going to Perth, Western Australia to be part of YWAM's Discipleship Training School.
See: http://www.ywamperth.org.au/musicdts/
  I have been praying for a couple of years about doing DTS as a way of being refreshed in my relationship with God and His call on my life. December last year marked 10 years with Fusion and so I decided to take this year "2013" as a sabbatical year - 6 months catching up with family and 6 months renewing my relationship with God.
  The school starts in 3 weeks and I have lots of money to save/raise so I've decided to try the new craze going "No Poo," not using Shampoo to wash my hair.
  No Poo is really great for saving money as all you need is Bi-carb Soda, Apple Cider Vinegar and water. Apparently great for your hair too!

 To add to my savings from ditching Shampoo myself, I'm inviting friends and family to try No Poo for themselves and donate their savings to me. If we estimate that on average people spend $10 a month on Shampoo and Conditioner, if 20 people gave that money to me then I would have $200 towards my school fees. If those donations continue for 6 months that's $1,200.
  Alternately you might decide to give a one off donation.
