I can hardly believe a week has passed since I last posted-I think its the longest ever!
Well, with hubby gone I have more responsibilities.

Three new additions to the collection:

Paris Disco Futuristix

My first pair of pearlistix
Ice Garden Pearlistix

and

Dusty Violets Shadowstix SE

Yummy!!

I've been doing well w/LML shampoo & conditioner and Jessicurl styling products.  I've also been using the meditation tape from Riquette Hofstein.  I do think my hair is longer, I shoulda' measured before I started using it.  Add to that the Hairtopia vitamins, herbs & aminos.  It is also very hot out here in Arizona so perhaps it is just the right combination!?!

I danced my first solo last Saturday and it went really well.  I hope the pictures come out!  I danced at the restaurant Sunday and ballet on Monday and NOW my right hip is really out of wack.  Luckily I got an appointment for tomorrow!  I didn't dance at all today it is bothering me that much.

Thank goodness I only have one class to teach tomorrow and then I don't work again until Tuesday.  Hubby comes home on Friday so we will have some quality/quantity.  I've really missed him these past 12 days.

I think I'm off to take a shower and catch some major ZZZZZZZZZ's, after my meditation tape of course!

Thanks, BB.  I got an adjustment today and I'm back in action.  My hip was so out of allignment that the bone wasn't properly rotating in the socket.  No wonder it was bothering me so bad.
I plan on ballet tomorrow, may have to have adjustments more often than once a month!  At least for a while.

I slept about 4 hours after my adjustment.

Hubby comes home tomorrow!!!  Yippeee.

Well...I went to see SWIII and about 30 mins into the movie the power goes out.  No emergency lighting-pitch black.  Hmmm.  Someone from the theatre comes in to say that the power is out in the whole area and it may take up to 3 hours to get it back on, in which case they'll give us all free passes for the future.  Did I forget to mention it was about 113 degress outside?  That's why we're here-to beat the heat.  Anyway, the power goes back on after about 40 minutes and the film resumes.  I enjoyed it, and hope to see it without interruption someday.
I can hardly believe it, but I forgot to wash my hair yesterday.  With LML you wash everyday and OMG! I forgot.  So I did it today and did a deep conditioning w/#19-smells so good, it has honey in it.  If felt so good I just wanted to work it through my hair forever.
Result is very soft and slightly sweet smelling hair.  Yum.
Decided to stay home and watch movies instead of going out to watch fireworks.  So!  A bit of July 4th tradition, we're having hotdogs & potato chips w/ iced tea and key lime pie.  Ahh, nostalgia without the crowds, heat and parking headaches.
Am beginning to consider going 10-12 weeks w/o trim.  Will contemplate further.
Been wearing hair down more often, initially because to dry hair wavy it must be left alone.  More recently 'cause it looks real pretty wavy and feels sexy on my neck & shoulders.  Also, I wear it down for bellydancing so I wanted to "get used to it".  I'm looking forward to it getting past 19" for more full braid options (w/LL hairsticks!)

Yes, Gabi, it is wonderful.  This was the first I tried honey bee-sure makes my hair soft.  How long do you leave it on?  I shampooed, applied #19 working it through hair and on scalp, rinsed, applied #9 and rinsed w/flexicomb.  Is that how you use it??  I have never showered this much in my life.  I used to avoid getting my skin wet frequently 'cause it would dry me out so bad and I would have to apply oil to my skin all the time which is a big hassle.  I think I have the right products at this time.  Kind of a happy accident-my skin is very sensitive tending to be dry and flakey and w/this daily wash routine my skin is soft-I'm exfoliating every other day.  I scritch everyday which has really changed my dry flakey scalp so I guess that's what I need to do!!!

Today I tried the camo/superclear shampoo w/ #10-B.  Hair is super soft again.

I've decided to cancel my hair appointment for next week and not reschedule.  I'll never get longer if I keep getting trims and I'll have some splits anyway because of the damage from the coloring/stripping until that grows out.  My hair doesn't appear damaged unless you look VERY closely at the ends and even then there isn't much now.  I do find splits that are a good 1-1/2" up the shaft, trim those meself I do.  Luckily, not too many of those!!! 

Wore my hair in a french braid today.  Usually I don't feel mine looks good enough to wear out of the house, but w/the bit of new growth it's staying better.  Even through 3 classes and doing postures on the back of my head in each class!!  I did take out my hairsticks before inverting!!  Today I wore my Zircon Waters Spiralstix.  They matched my biketard.

Tomorrow is class, adjustment (which means leaving hair in scrunchi pony) then ballet (bun w/sticks) and then I'm free unless I decide to go to bellydancing class.  PMS steals my energy, besides its triple digit temps.

Gabi, I have not gone MagicPak yet.  I got a small surprise kit when I re-ordered #18 scalp oil.  I would like to MP, but I'll have to save up for it.  Right now I have 4 shampoos: superclear, ouzo shampoozo, cam/superclear and lavatea.  For conditioner I have: #10-B, #9 trees stimulate, protein treatment and honey bee #19.
I haven't gotten to the lavatea or protein treat yet, but my hair loves everything so far.  Last night was my 1st time trying cam/superclear-I think it is for blonds-my ashy blond is shining gold in the sun 
Next time I do #19 I'll try it your way.

Am cancelling hair appointment TODAY!

Hip is still outta whack-no dancing for next 2 weeks 
However, I take this as good sign that further healing is taking place.  Just wish my hip & leg didn't feel so wierd at times.  Strange sensations.  I think it is energy flow returning to full capacity.  Nerves, too.

My hair seems lighter in color today, perhaps the camo/superclear is bringing my blond back.  Wouldn't that be nice?!

I am loving LML products!  My hair is so soft and manageable  which is saying something!!!

When I scritch & apply scalp oil and scritch again I was getting very tangly in my dry hair so when I ordered last I asked them to pick out a horncomb for me to comb through the length before I shampooed.  I am happy w/their choice so I comb it before and after my scritching routine.  Horncombs very nice.

Gabi, have any plans to meet LML herself at the salon?  I keep thinking an extended weekend trip to Toronto may well be in order.  I have no idea how long it takes to get in to see her, but sounds like fun to me.  Besides, Toronto has great museums and a fantastic High Tea at the Royal York hotel.  I'd love to go back.

I'm going to talk to hubby about going MP next month.  I'll have to be a very good girl and not spend on ANYTHING I don't really require, but I feel MP is the way to go.  I plan on using up what I got in the surprise kit first...getting impatient now that I'm not going to get a haircut at the salon.  Did you MP w/product only?

I am really making it into a ritual-I put on the soundtrack to Vanity Fair and scritch, then shower and let my hair air dry.  I really feel I'm taking time out for myself as well as good care of me.  I got lost for awhile in the taking care of me department, it is good to be at this point.
Besides, by bathing later in the day I never have to get up early for work and I'm watching much less TV.

Think I'll go snack on some bing cherries.  Yum-fruit in season.

Hiya!

I did go product only because I already had four combs, the flexipik and a Mason Pearson brush and Kent fake tortoise smoother.  But you know  , if you go with the tools you get another couple of horncombs *snort*.

I would sooooo love to go to see LM in person but I'm further away than you are  .  Unless there is ever something we can combine I don't think I'm ever going to get to go, fortunately she's really great with the on-line support.  But, you know, I can't very well get a cyber haircut  .

I'm so glad you are getting into it so well.  LOL, at first I felt really sheepish about the time to complete the shower but I'm getting the hang of it too.

Another unexpected beni is that going with this system takes care of my hair'ho tendencies - I always have plenty to switch around with  .

Enjoy ...g
