Thanks ladies

It's happening again I'm going through a time where I'm reaching for things, reaching for a sense of the Other in everyone and everything encountered. Reaching for culture, reaching for community, reaching for a sense of peace, reaching for solitude, a sense of healing. a satisfaction never seen before. I go through this ... about every season, as a pleasant "expected surprise".

Hair:

Invented a new bun. It starts off with a folded twist, then a couple of coils. The result is like a 3-petaled blossom. I'll take a preview-picture this week and post instructions sometime soon.

Working on the hemlines guide - it will be launched as soon as I figure out a headcount of whose pictures need adding, put 'em in, and see if I'm missing any types.

Chocolate Orange Twist

Did a wash on Friday night with Chocolate Orange Twist. I dutch-braided for the first time ever, and I kind of wish I'd waited until the hair was suffiently dry because it turned out kind of damp, crispy, strange.

3rd day hair is pretty soft. It's much better than 2nd day's weird plasticky post-braid hair. Again, I think it's just my mistake of braiding when the hair isn't dry. This bar will have to be given another (more consistent) run.

4th day hair, Feb 27. Fourth day hair is decent, not great, decent. It's kind of tangly, actually, and the scalp is producing a noticeable amount of oil. I had to add some shea leave-in today for the length.

Ahhh I'm back...

Hair. Washed my hair on Wednesday March 1 with CV bar Patchouli Herb. This time it lathered really well. Today is Sunday, and so far there is very minimal itch. I also have very un-greasy purdy roots. The Patchouli Herb bar, so far, is my scalp's favorite.

AMOXIC/CLAV = Poison

I am officially allergic to drugs (durgs) that end in -cillin. The ear thing... the doctor prescribed amoxicillin with clavulanic acid (Augmentin). This is my first experience with a -cillin. In the past, I've never taken very much medication.... My first Tylenol experience was only a few years back, and in the same year I also tried Ibuprofen. I can count my past medications on one hand.

The allergy symptoms appeared on Wednesday evening, the 9th or 10th day of taking Augmentin: rash and welts all over the body, especially the knees, elbows, hands, wrists, face, and ears. I went to the ER and a new doctor said "YOU HAVE A DRUG ALLERGY and are now responsible for notifying your medical care"

This is the bun I mentioned, something I thought I came up with a couple weeks ago.. it's EXTREMELY secure. Other members have been using the same bun too. It just doesn't have a name.

Twist upwards like making a regular bun. I twist towards the right.

Make a sharp U-turn, hooking your finger into the bend

Take another good look at that U-turn, because you're going to flip it.

Flip the U from right to left, or vice versa if you're doing the opposite way.
Basically, you tuck the left leg of the U underneath the right leg of the U (or vice versa)

Coil the excess around counterclockwise (or vice versa), like a normal bun

Here are the entry points: Down on 1 where the fold lies, Up on 2 at the outer coil

Looks kind of funky, but it's so secure... I love using this bun.

Kinda reminds me of the Phalaenopsis orchid genus

And then Esme had this vision several months ago of me wearing a cervix on my head, then today a member of LHC said this bun looks like a cervix.

It could be a cervix bun or an orchid bun? Grin

I love the orchid bun. *sigh* When, oh when, will my layers grow out? Also, I wanted to mention that if you ever do get a hankering for soda (sometimes water can be so...watery) oftentimes I take a can of seltzer/club soda and mix it with purple grape juice (the 100% juice kind). Voila, instant grape soda, without the corn syrup but with the flavonoids. Grin

What a great idea! I am very anti-soda, never drink the stuff because of all the sugar & junk in it, but this sounds very interesting, I love juice.

I know I've mentioned somewhere before, but my husband and I have been trying very dilegently to not eat anything processed, canned or boxed. We keep stocked up on fresh fruits and veggies, and we make most of our own sauces, soups, you name it. I've noticed a big difference in my overall health since doing this. We're not perfect, we fall off the wagon sometimes, but for the most part we've made a very big change for the good.

I just tried it, very comfortable and secure. Come spring time you could dress it up with wild flowers for a wedding or a party....just a thought

I'll go with orchid bun, too.

ohhh, grape soda, haven't tried that yet. I usually use the 100% cranberry juice (from Trader Joes), with club soda, or lemonade.....aahhh, yummm

~enjoy~
