My Kitsch Journey!

 On 5/21/2025 I placed my first

order at Kitsch.com.

Over a month ago I decided to 

switch to bar shampoo and 

conditioner.  To leave the world

of plastic containers for my hair

product.  

For years I have searched for 

product to keep the locks in 

great shape.  To only be 

disappointed after buying some

of the expensive products out 

there.

Being a strawberry blonde, you

will see the oily look faster than

anything.  I was tired of folks 

asking me when was the last time

you washed your hair.  I would tell 

them just this morning and the looks

were priceless. It looks so dirty.

Not only the dirty look but constant

tangles with hair over 3 feet long

Also having dry skin pushed me 

to try their Shea Butter body wash

and exfoliating gloves. I started

out with the Rice Water Protein 

Shampoo and Conditioner bar set.

Plus the set with Argan Oil.  

These are the two products that I was 

leaning towards in my search of what

made my hair look great as I used to 

be a daily washer.

I have also purchased the 

shower filter as we have 

seen what the hard water 

does to our plants and the 

refrigerator water line.  

What a world of difference 

this has made.

The rotation of bars is the

key and not over doing on 

putting the bars on the hair.  

Bars don't lather like the 

plastic bottle soaps so you 

know up front.  It may take 

a couple uses before you 

get the hang of this.  Using

bars below the ear area and

making sure you rinse out 

completely.  You will love

the soft feel of your hair 

and it's so clean!  There are 

different bars to use and try, 

but I found the ones I like 

right away.  They have lots 

of product to select and do 

take the hair test first if you 

know your hair and what it 

does.  It will save you time 

and product to know this 

information.  You can order 

direct or there are some 

stores that offer their product;

Target, Amazon & Ultra were

the main ones but we are 

hearing that there are additional 

ones.  So you can buy locally.

I have yet to seek them out but 

also hear their stock is low as

a lot of folks are learning about 

this company.  You can read 

about the owner online, 

Female owned!!

They have a Facebook & 

Instagram page,

come join us there.

Just two months and I can

 see over an inch of new 

hair growth!!  Right now 

I'm at 2 inches of baby 

fine growth!

If you have any questions

ask as they do respond

quickly and lots of users 

are there to help.

I will tell you it's protein 

base product and there

are other benefits to their 

products.  Less hair in 

the brush or drain, nails 

become health and less

in the vac when it comes 

to hair.

The Rice Water bars can 

be used daily, this is why

I started with these bars.   

You can get a build up

of protein and they recommend

the Tea Tree/mint bars

for weekly clarification.   I 

use the argon bars for 

relaxing the waves and curls. 

After reading about the

Rosemary/Biotin bars and

the need for this type of

oils after menopause due 

to hormone imbalance.

So I try to use that set once 

a week.

They have sales and offer 

points which can be used 

for products.  Join on FB 

as there are more!

I kicked the plastic bottles!  

My hair is so healthy!

Thank You Google!!

 There is the appearance you have

attempted to solve the issue I'm seeing

with all the spamming to make my 

numbers go up and only recording 

those that actually read!  It was just 

not making sense with the numbers,

that's not what was wanted here.

With counts of 2.2 k and just a handful

of folks reading just make one wonder

why?  Harassment?  

****************

It has been a peaceful week, again thank

you google for your help!  My counts are

much lower and per those that read.

************

This morning the numbers are off again

100/44 actual views to 338  

Another day with the numbers off and 

skyrocketing.

*****************

Back to skyrocketing numbers!

Variegated Rose of Sharon.

 

This was a sport we found some

9 years ago on one of our solid plants.

She is starting to bloom and is over 

5 foot tall.

7/26/2025 First Perennial Hibiscus Opened

Luna Deep Red

7/28/2025

Luna Pink

Luna White with red center.

The above is one of our crosses, pure white 

with a deep red center.

This is another cross and pure white.  

There is one now called PH Marshmallow.

The above is another cross we call

PH Karma Pink

We have several of these, each is a

little different, ranging from a pure

white like above to different pinks

add to the white.

The buds are appearing on a lot of the plants!

If you want to visit or drive by I would say in 

about a week or two the yard should be full of

blooms.

PH Berry Awesome

This on opened and within a couple 

=hours it was fried with our 90+

temps for the past 4 days.

PH karma pink is our cross of Luna Pink 

with a Luna White w/red center.  Even

the bees love her.  She is bigger than

a dinner plate.  The bud is above.

Be Okay With People........

 not liking you.   Most don't even

like themselves!

Variegation

I have a few variegated Hydrangeas 

that I just love!  Today while pulling

thistle and cutting Hollyhocks back,

I spotted a couple sports on the oldest

variegated Hydrangea.  

Here is that the variegation looks like:

But here is a couple sports.

I love to see sports show up!
