Half-Twins and Baby Powder

Half-Twins

Everyone knows about twins - both monozygotic (identical) and dizygotic (fraternal). But there is a rare third type - the Half-Twin.


This is when the twins inherit the same genes from the mother but have different genes from the father. The egg is fertilized by two sperm, and then splits!

Odd, huh?



Baby Powder

This is an old trick that my sister taught me awhile back. If you don't have time to shampoo your hair one day and it's starting to look/feel greasy, just sprinkle a little baby powder on the roots and tousle.

Don't Squeeze The Baby Powder.

The powder will absorb the oil, and you will be in the clear for one more day if someone suddenly shows up to your house - just try to get out of your PJs before noon, and don't put in too much. You don't want to look like a snowball!
