Hair--The shea butter is working well. Yay! It feels a bit weird until everything is absorbed by my hair, and then the ends feel really nice. I still need to work out a routine for using the shea butter and the Suave conditioner. I don't want to use the shea everyday, but I don't want my ends to dry out either.

For these past few days I've been noticing that I've been shedding a little bit more than usual. I wonder what's causing it. It could be the change of seasons or inadvertantly dropping to a lower BMI. I noticed that when I gained a couple of pounds two years ago, my, er, monthlies got heavier compared to when I was at a lower weight and now I'm really close to that lower weight again. Perhaps the two are related--if I'm not getting enough calories, my body diverts resources to more important functions. I guess I should eat more.

Jrock--Yay, the Psycho le Cemu CD singles I won on eBay arrived on Wednesday! I can only change the region setting on my computer 3 more times so I'm trying to make all the screencaps I can from the DVDs that came with singles before I have to change the region setting back to region 1. Note to self: must get a region-free DVD player one day soon.

The mushroom sticks sound cute.  Does the seller have more of them?  Are they dangles, or is the mushroom on the end?

Cynde

Oh those are sooo cute!!!

Thanks, Lisabelle and Greek_Lady! I was a little surprised no one else put in a bid for them. I guess they're not sparkly enough.

Hair thinggies--I'm trying a leave-in recipe I saw on another hair board. I just put it on about an hour ago and it made a difference in my hair rather quickly. Unlike plain shea butter I didn't have to wait a couple of hours before that slightly tacky feeling went away. So far I give it a thumbs up, but I'll need to try it a couple more times before I make a final decision on whether or not to keep using it.

It's so funny, but my mom likes to use my AO conditioner. Today while I was mixing the leave-in she asked if she could use my condish again. I think this was the fourth time so I joked that I should probably get her a bottle of it for Christmas. Out of the all the products I havr and she says she's going to try, this is the only one that she's actually used. lol

Holiday gifties--For once I'm planning ahead for what to give some of my friends for Christmas. I'm thinking of making batches of Anais' leave-in and including a horn comb with each gift. Oh, and I should include some lanolin oil as well for the comb. I wonder if they'll like that. Well, I have some time to decide, and at least it's more original than my usual standby of a gift-card. 

Thanks, Panpeus! Your Japanese culture class sounds like it would be really interesting! Go you for recognizing it as Kabuki!    It looked so out of place when I first loaded it, but that's okay.

Khrome--lol! That sounds like the opposite of me. I really like eating mushrooms, but never felt the urge to wear them until I saw those hairsticks.

Hair stuffs--CWC'd tonight. My AO conditioner is almost gone and I resorted to bonking the bottle against the handrail in the shower to get the condish out. Take that, conditioner. HA!

Okay, I don't think I'll be using the shea butter-conditioner mix too much in the future. When I woke up yesterday morning, my hair felt a little sticky. I had plain shea butter in my hair all day today and didn't have that problem.

Slightly annoyed that my hair didn't grow as fast this month--only .50 inches, but at least it didn't shrink. o_O  Oh, my ends reach my waist, even in the morning when my hair is a bit poofy. As a result, I now consider myself officially at waist length. Yay! This is rather cool; I've never had hair this long before.

Congratulations!  How exciting
