be careful, most hair sunscreens contain a huge amount of alcohol. i wonder if it wouldn't be better to add a bit of a high sunscreen to jojoba and put that instead.

My last post was actually last night-3 hour time difference.
Today I took my bun down, felt how my hair was still damp and then put it back up in a bun.  It's defo working now!
I had a good class, spent the first 20 mins chatting and it was nice.
My myopractic adjustment was amazing.  No more lordosis-yea yoga!  Boy was she surprised  I think my adjustment went so well because of the detox and no longer drinking soda.
Yep.
I'm so glad I entered therapy.  With this most recent breakthrough I finally feel I'm getting back to being my self, my WHOLE self, that is.  



(Well, duh.  The first time I make the glow white without realizing the frame this post is in is also, um, white )

CurlyGirl22-
I'm doing a 14 day "detox in a box" (that's what I call it), by Enzymatic Therapy called Whole Body Cleansing.  It was about $23 from the health food store.  There are 3 bottles of supplements and a booklet for directions.
I am doing this detox because I was recently diagnosed with food sensitivities to wheat, dairy and corn.  I also just gave up drinking Coke and wanted to facilitate the release of that junk-I didn't even get withdrawl headaches.
I've been having some allergy problems and my skin's gotten dryer than usual and itchy (I'm thinking about those Chagrin bars...) AND its Spring so it is naturally a good time of year to do a cleanse.
And you're right, yoga is great for the mind.  Thanks 

I'm very intrigued by Galadriel's review of the Chagrin bars-my skin is very sensitive and delicate and I dry to uncomfortable tightness and flaking if I don't mosturize with the Body Shop's Cocoa Butter Body Butter with my skin still damp!  My diet clearly effects my skin, like too much caffiene will make it worse.  I've been using a gentle shower gel, but I'm going to investigate these bars.

Today I am very proud of myself.  I had a La Stone Therapy massage scheduled at 11:00 so I got up early, warmed some olive oil with 3 drops each Lavender, Rosemary and Sandalwood then applied that to my dry hair.  Stuck it in a shower cap and did a bellydance workout for 30 mins.  After exercising I put some vinegar in a pitcher for rinsing my hair after cleansing, 1:4 ratio. I had been using about 1/2 that.
I did not put gel in my hair today and my hair is sooooooo soft and fluffy, just like kitty fur.



And now I'm going to have a chicken mango salad with some iced green tea.  Then I'm going to watch the Mummy, which I didn't watch yesterday.  I slept.  You need a lot of rest on a detox.

Update on detox:  It's going great.  My massage therapist noticed that my skin and muscles seemed different.  I've been going to her monthly for several years.  Eating right and giving up soda has given me positive change inside and out!

Serious bun joy!  I'm now down to 5 pins, plus a pony holder and it stays in through teaching and napping!!!
Been investigating 1920's stuff-found some cool capezio shoes that are purrrfect for this era, and I can wear with other characters.  More joy.  At only $29!
I'm going to try pinning my hair under to emulate a 1920's do, will keep eKatherine's suggestion of a bobbed wig in mind.  If I purchase the costume I was looking at it includes a cloche hat, which I think I can use to fake it.  However, I have a ton of hair, so it'll be a challenge either way.
A bit uncertain with how I'm going to transition from one character to the next.  If I have to pin it or wig it, I think the snood will be a must.  Red lipstick from last rehearsal will be perfect.  Yay.
Heard from Lady MacSnood today, should receive snoods in time to play.  She's making them just for me.  I feel very special.  

Oh, yeah.  Detox update: completed 1st week  .  So far so good.  I'm not craving fried foods as much as before, still soda free.  Also noticed sugary foods not so appealing.  Dark chocolate always the exception!

I'm so excited!  Today I ordered my first pair of Holostix!
Spring Nebulae are on their way (well, not just yet but you know what I mean)!  Finally I was online at the right time to see them all and grab a pair that resonated with me
Today I didn't wash or co in the usual way.  I wet my hair, applied conditioner, combed it through and rinsed it out.  That's all!  I did scrunch in some lavender and sandalwood after towel drying and my hair is so soft.  Took very little time.  Yay.
Whew!  I made it through the day.  I had a review and got a nice raise-can't believe I've been teaching at this place for 3 years.
I've got to plan better for my Tuesday schedule-I have so little time inbetween classes that even with snacks I'm way too hungry for real food by the time I'm done.  I make poor decisions when I'm hungry like that.  Gotta have a backup plan or I'll wind up eating fast food again.  It's very challenging to get quick meals that are wheat, dairy and corn free.  Not counting salads of course, but I need hot food.
I hope to have a brainstorm on this issue.
Gotta go eat NOW!!!

Today I made two low pigtails and turned them into little buns.  They are cute-some of the ends poke out a bit but it looks like I did it on purpose.
Doing better today.  I'm greatful for EMDR.  I feel like I've a new lease on life-a fresh start.  How lovely it is to really love myself.
Struggling a bit with new song-can't tell if it sounds good or not.
Got my t-bar shoes, nice fit.  I think I'll get a good amount of use out of 'em.
Frusterated with ends of hair-upon close inspection of front of hair ends are broken and split sometimes as much as 1 1/2 inches up the shaft!  I feel like I'll never be split end free again.
It tries my patience.  Perhaps a deep hot olive oil treatment will make me feel better.
I think my natural haircolor is getting brighter with these supplements I've been taking.  Have another month before next salon trim.
Happy I'm growing my hair out long.
I think I'll go order some soap now...
