Well I didn't make it to Monday's aqua class.  I decided to walk instead.  I took yesterday off completely 'cause I had a headache.  I did teach yoga, however so I got some movement in before the headache kicked in.
Today I've had a lovely facial and eyebrow wax.  Next on the agenda is to scritch, apply warm brahmi oil to scalp for 30 mins, wash and deep condition under the bonnet.  I've been having very good results with deep treating every 2 weeks.  I usually put the brahmi oil on at night before I wash, I thought I'd spare my facialist the mess.  She does a nice little scalp massage during the facial.  I wish it was longer, it is so relaxing to me!!!  It reminded me of the last time I was in Indonesia, we all got our hair done (washed & styled) before getting family pictures taken.  They do a MAJOR scalp massage-almost too stimulating.  I don't know if they're planning on us doing another one this year.  I hated how they styled my hair last time-I may just ask for a braid if we do it again!
I think I'll try plopping again after the deep treatment.  I don't have to go anywhere else today.  Better be sure I have lunch here at the house first-I wouldn't want to have to go out with my duckbill clips in!!!  OK, so I'm vain!  Tongue

It took me a while to get around to my hair - I went to Magellan's website.  They have great stuff for travelling.  I have a huge wish list now...
So, I didn't have time to plop again, but I did clip the roots on top with great results.  I included a vinegar/lemon juice rinse before the deep treat and it really made a difference.  After my hair dried I had major volume and more waves than usual.  Very cool!!!

I hope I can get up tomorrow and make it to aqua class.  I have a headache again.  Its probably weather or hormones.

You're not vain; you're simply sensitive to the aesthetic prejudices of others.   8)

You're right, 13bodies.  I am too sensitive to the opinions of others.  I hope to get rid of that habit.  It does not serve me.

Today I've been very happy-I tried my new Ouidad Clear & Gentle Shampoo, Balancing Conditioner and Tress FX styling gel and my waves look super.  Soft and defined and spiraling!!!  Yippeeeeeee.  Ouidad's products are really working for me. 

I'm getting so excited about my trip.

More happiness-I got my order from Solumbra.  I got some driving gloves.  They block out most of the sun's rays, which of course is a big problem in AZ and my hands are aging faster than the rest of me.  I tried them out today and really like them.  I got a sunblocking scarf to cover my legs when I'm wearing shorts while driving and a black wide brimmed hat that protects my face and neck when I go hiking and for my Indonesia trip.

I got a filling replaced today, I'm still numb.  I recently changed dentists and I really like this new one better!!  YAY.

I'm inspired by something Galadriel said-about a Flamenco bun.  I'm going to try it with a half up do, dividing the hair above the ears in two and making the two buns leaving the rest down.  Don't know how it will look...

Hiking in Indonesia...how romantic! Oh, but don't forget your sunscreen...or your camera!  Wink

I also wear gloves while driving - we have the same problem here in SoCal. I was still in my teens when I noticed that the tops of my hands were getting sun spots from driving.
    My mother has them all over her own hands, and she has been treated several times for skin cancer. Needless to say, I made a decision at a pretty early age to protect my pallid self from such a fate.

Your Flamenco bun idea sounds cute! Be sure to take a few pix & post them.  Smiley

Hi, AngleSpun.  I've only been living in Arizona for 5 years (or so) and so my spots have come on more recently.
I got checked by a dermatologist in January 'cause I've had several severe sunburns in my youth.  Luckily everything is AOK.
It seems like I'm the only person I know who is vigilant about sun protection, but I'm probably the fairest one of all, too.  (heehee  8) )
I'm not too swift on downloading pics, I did take some of the mini flamenco buns and another new hairstyle I created.
Maybe today I can ask hubby to download 'em.
I got a trim on Thursday.  Since I've started using Ouidad's products regularly my waves are more pornounced which means that although she took between 1/4 - 1/2 inch off my hair when dry looks more like an inch to 1 1/2" is missing.  My hairdresser commented on how much more moist my hair felt, so I'm sticking to Ouidad.  For now.
I'm expecting some spurts of growth as the hot weater comes in, yippeeeee.
I'm getting more and more excited about the Indonesia trip.  We're trying to find a place to snorkel.  We can stay on a tiny island in a bungalow for a couple of days/nights.  I've never snorkeled before.
I'm hoping to find some interesting hairtoys-I wasn't looking for them last time so I have no idea.  I'm guessing combs will be most available, but maybe some sticks, too.

What a nice compliment from your hairdresser. That's good that your hair is getting softer.
Have fun snorkling. My mother has always said she cannot because it's hard to convince her brain that she can breath even though her face is underwater.  Cheesy It's fun though and you can see a lot underwater.

Thanks, Meg.  Wink

Allergies are really bad for everyone out here, and I'm on the verge of sneezing my head off.  Well, that's one way of getting out of your head!

I'm waiting for my new Ouidad order to arrive so I can do my bi-weekly deep treatment. 

I'm having fun trying out my Aromaleigh samples.  Wish I had a girlfriend to help me with feedback.  Darling hubby just isn't up to the task.  Cats aren't much help, they think it tastes good.

Tomorrow night we're having company for dinner- a total of 7.  We're serving Indonesian food.  YUMMMMMYYYYY.  I'm looking forward to eating and playing Tribond game.  I love games that are challenging.  In tribond there are 3 items and you have to figure out how they're connected.  For example: a pair of false teeth, a helicopter and a lumberjack.  What do they have in common?
I'm making lemon drop martinis.  Today when I was at the fruit stand I got lemon drop candies to put in the bottom of the glasses.  Too cute!!!!  I love those little details.  Hubby has no clue for them.

Gotta go find a recipe for Caesar Salad Dressing.  If anyone has a favorite, I'd love to receive it!

OK, I'm usually pretty good at lateral thinking puzzles, but you got me.  What is the connection between those three?

Gorey doesn't like the taste of my Aromaleigh, but he seems to like the feel of it between his toes.  He keeps stepping in my makeup.  I find powdery little pawprints in the oddest places.   8)

I'm with BB; I'm usually decent at those sorts of puzzles, but what is the connection?    ???

Oh, 13bodies, don't feel stupid!!!  It takes a few tries to get the gist of what kind of answers they want.  I wish I could have you over and we could play it.  And I could expriment with new drink recipes  Grin

Hair is changing-I am having real trouble wearing a scrunchie pony tail.  Even the favric elastics are uncomfortable.  Clips seem to be working best right now.  I'm not even at BSL yet!  Eeeek!!

On the last episode of America's Next Top Model the contestants had to dress in traditional Thai dance costume.  I was totally drooling over the hair accessories and headgear.  I hope I can find some of that kind of stuff in Indonesia.

Tonight I'm subbing a bellydancing class.  I haven't danced in a while so I'm trying not to stress about it.  I always want my classes to be super good-that stresses me out.  It's only one hour and there is a possibility that no one will show up.  Class attendance always dwindles this time of year-school schedules changing for summer.
