A few of mine:
1. I no longer carry a purse.....either a diaper bag or just my wallet!
2. I'm always broke
3. I no longer eat warm meals
4. I rarely go out with friends or on dates with hubby
5. I feel bad for parents whose kids are screaming, instead of feeling annoyed

Oh man how has life changed..... a shorter list would be how has your life stayed he same!
I no longer 'party' all the time or even any of the time. now my social life is going to mom and baby swim, and visiting with some of the girls we met at our infant massage and baby food making classes.
I cleaned my house at least once a week (usually 2 or 3 times) with bleach now I wont use any chemicals in my house, I either use homemade cleaners or natural cleaners. and making sure my house is 100% spotless and germfree.... I'm very very lucky if I can do that once a week, and the laundry? I honestly don't think I have been dirty laundry free since the day I came home from the hospital with my son.
I buy organic foods (to stay away from chemicals again...) FRESH foods, before i would make HUGE meals that were all packaged processed, chemical filled junk. I make baby food
I planted a HUGE garden to can and freeze as much as I can.... (never had I even cared about gardening, why would I waste my time doing that when I can just buy it?)
I want to buy a cow so I am sure it is range fed and not pummped full of chemicals and hormones. (but I still can't get over the thought of raising and killing it....)
The only time I get warm food is when I sneek a taste while i am cooking it.
When I have 'extra' money it goes to new clothes or a new toy.
(FOR THE BABY NOT US)
I will do anything no matter how dumb I look to get a smile and a laugh out of my son, the only times I find it embarassing is when I forgot about my surroundings and find myself singing (a dumb made up song) for my son and a group of stranges.
I don't swear (or try as hard as I can to remember not to)
I not skinny.... :(
on some nights I find myself in bed at 9pm, before I got pregnant I was just getting ready to go out at 9
and the big HUGE one......
I talk to my in laws!
I have never been so tired, broke and domestic in my life! But I have also never EVER been so happy and content to be me!!
LMAO I'm with the lady under me I haven't tweezed my brows in forever either!! and I think I've done my make up one maybe twice in the last 8 months!

Is tattoo ink made with petrochemicals? Is there any petrochemical-free & vegan tattoo ink?
Joanne L
I don't think it's a stupid question. I mean petroleum-based chemicals are found in so many things people ingest today; like food (for example - aspertame), medicine (for example - mineral oil). Not only that, your skin soaks up and internalizes topical petroleum products.
Thanks for the in-depth information.
Answer
I do not know much about being vegan, but here is what I know about tattoo ink. Tattoo ink is made out of whatever the manufacturer wants to make it out of. Most tattoo inks do not even list their ingredients The only real guidelines to the ingredients in tattoo inks is that they be safe for use on skin (not in skin). Yet, some companies do not even always follow that rule.
Sorry for the long post but I got this from wiki.bmezine.com. This is what is typically in tattoo inks.
"" * BLACK: made of iron oxides, carbon, or logwood. "Natural black pigment is made from magnetite crystals, powdered jet, wustite, bone black,and amorphous carbon from combustion (soot). Black pigment is commonly made into India ink. Logwood is a heartwood extract from Haematoxylon campechisnum, found in Central America and the West Indies."
* BROWNS, FLESHTONES: made of ochre. "Ochre is composed of iron (ferric) oxides mixed with clay. Raw ochre is yellowish. When dehydrated through heating, ochre changes to a reddish color."
* RED: made of cinnabar, cadmium red, iron oxide, or napthol. "Iron oxide is also known as common rust. Cinnabar and cadmium pigments are highly toxic. Napthol reds are synthesized from Naptha. Fewer reactions have been reported with naphthol red than the other pigments, but all reds carry risks of allergic or other reactions."
* ORANGE: made of disazodiarylide, disazopyrazolone, or cadmium seleno-sulfide. "The organics are formed from the condensation of 2 monoazo pigment molecules. They are large molecules with good thermal stability and colorfastness."
* YELLOW: made of cadmium yellow, ochres, curcuma yellow, chrome yellow, or disazodiarylide. "Curcuma is derived from plants of the ginger family; aka tumeric or curcurmin. Reactions are commonly associated with yellow pigments, in part because more pigment is needed to achieve a bright color."
* GREEN: made of chromium oxide ("Casalis Green" or "Anadomis Green"), Malachite, Ferrocyanides, Ferricyanides, Lead chromate, Monoazo pigment, Cu/Al phthalocyanine, or Cu phthalocyanine. "The greens often include admixtures, such as potassium ferrocyanide (yellow or red) and ferric ferrocyanide (Prussian Blue)."
* BLUE: made of azure blue, cobalt blue, or Cu-phtalocyanine. "Blue pigments from minerals include copper (II) carbonate (azurite), sodium aluminum silicate (lapis lazuli), calcium copper silicate (Egyptian Blue), other cobalt aluminum oxides and chromium oxides. The safest blues and greens are copper salts, such as copper pthalocyanine. Copper pthalocyanine pigments have FDA approval for use in infant furniture and toys and contact lenses. The copper-based pigments are considerably safer or more stable than cobalt or ultramarine pigments."
* VIOLET: made of manganese violet (manganese ammonium pyrophosphate), quinacridone, dioxazine/carbazole, and various aluminum salts. "Some of the purples, especially the bright magentas, are photoreactive and lose their color after prolonged exposure to light. Dioxazine and carbazole result in the most stable purple pigments."
* WHITE: made of lead white (lead carbonate), titanium dioxide, barium sulfate, or zinc oxide. "Some white pigments are derived from anatase or rutile. White pigment may be used alone or to dilute the intensity of other pigments. Titanium oxides are one of the least reactive white pigments."
Tattoo inks are unregulated and not "FDA approved" or any such thing. Some of the ingredients used in tattoo ink are approved for use in cosmetics, foods, and medical devices (including iron oxides, logwood, and titanium dioxide), although most are not. However, ink allergy is extremely rareâafter all, somewhere in the range of five million tattoos are done yearly with almost no complications of this type. That said, if they do occur, see a dermatologist experienced in dealing with tattoos.""
If you want a vegan friendly tattoo ink then the best thing to do is find a tattoo artist who mixes his ink himself. That way, he will actually know what is in his ink and be able to discuss that with you. Good luck to you, you are a strong person if you are willing to take extra precautions about your tattoos to comply with being vegan.
