And you teach yoga? I've been doing yoga for just over a year now! I love it, really helps me center and focus.

Sakina, sweetie.....

When I first started surfing the net looking for ideas on how to handle my hair with my bike helmet, I found a couple of long hair sites. I felt I was always the one with the shortest hair around. I may have been at times, but there were others with hair shorter than mine, who were also looking for support, inspiration, validation, and help. Now, several years later, my hair is STILL shorter than those special people that I still idolize and stay in touch with, but in the meantime, my hair has grown! Shocked

My hair may be longer than yours, but it is still shorter than many. Hang in there! Your hair is growing!!

Congrats on your teaching anniversary! I do yoga too but at home, I own just about every Rodney Yee yoga dvd. It helps keep me sane well, yoga and zen.

I've been obsessing about my length alot lately too so don't feel bad, alot of us are in the same boat.

BTW, I purchased some coconut oil today and I LOVE it!! Thanks for the suggestion!

Now, I'm off to visit those Halloween websites you posted. I can't wait until Halloween!!!

Ok, I'm over being a grouchie puss. I still hate not having my car to drive, thank goodness we have 2 cars!

My invitations came today!! I was going to make them by hand, now I've changed my mind.

I've nearly gotten all my Halloween party stuff...soon I'll have to start putting stuff up! I'm not decorating the front yard til after our party-the winds last year totally recked my webs!! I think I'm going to dress as a witch for handing out candy/toys and not be a sexy Geisha for the kiddies. Wink

Now I've got to make housekeeping a priority. Blech!!!

This coming Monday, Labor Day I will be face painting at the gym for 1-1/2 hours. I'm getting nervous. I just want to do a good job & make the kids happy. EEeek!

Hubby is leaving for China Monday night, returning on Friday late. Oh, dear. I hope I don't get too bored...guess I'll have lots of time to practice getting ready for guitar lessons again.

In determining BSL, do I measure the top of the bra strap or the bottom?

Personally, I've never thought it to be that "technical." If it falls upon the bra strap, it's BSL. No reason to split hairs, right? Good luck with those guitar lessons.

If it hits the middle of your back, that's good enough for me!

For me, just to be safe, I'd figured the bottom of the strap because then, there could be no doubt that I hadn't achieved it, but it seems that maybe we'll never really know for sure.

Thanks, BB. I never thought about you feeling like your hair was short!

I guess I'm going to let it grow to a point mid back that I think looks good. No way to figure out how long it will be until it gets there.

For right now, my goal over the next year is to change the shape a bit and get as much growth as possible so I can do a Victorian hairdo for next year's Halloween Party. I want to wear my own hair instead of a wig.

Today I hit a milestone...after shopping at the health food store I got into my car and one of the hairs on the top of my head got caught in the top of the door and was pulled out. It was a bit of a shock and confusion at first, then I realized it means my hair is longer and if I wear it down (especially on a windy day like today) to be more careful getting into the car.

Yay?!?

BB, for a brief moment I would agree with you.
Last night I got in the mail 2 braiding DVDs by Karen Ribble. Now I'm back to feeling my hair's too short after attempting some of the new braids. Dammit!!

It will get better with practice, I know. Humph! *crosses arms*

Hubby comes home today!! Jupiter was yowling outside my bedroom door this morning. Ugh! I don't usually sleep well the first week he's gone, so the interruption was unwelcomed.

I've got a pedicure this morning-gotta go get presentable!

Ohh what did you get?? What colour? Did you get any little design done? or perhaps something with tiny rhinestones?
I have just recently found out the beauty of manucure and pedicure and it's my latest fad! Right now I have a medium-red-softly-metallic aweeesome colour, with a tiny daisy on the upper inner side on each big toe. I love it! Grin

Though my absolute favourite was an intense bright vibrant fuchsia colour like the bugainville flowers.

Do tell, what you got this time?
Do you like french? On hands and toes?

Greek_Lady-so nice to hear from you!! Looks like we have something in common besides LL! I get pedicures every 3 weeks-since I teach yoga barefoot and live in the dessert my heels get really dry.
I usually have dark red or black toe polish, but this time I went with the French. I'm surprised how much I like it. Since I'm dressing as a Geisha for Halloween I needed to tone down the dark polish or else it will show through my white tabi socks.

I think I'm at 12 weeks since my last trim, and my hair is in better shape than I thought. I'm still doing Ouidad Deep Treatment every 2 weeks and using my moisturizing shampoo once or twice a week. Mostly I wash every other day, and I've started oiling my scalp either the night before or a couple of hours before I wash. I've just ordered some stimulating scalp treatment from naturesgift-I could use the calming from the essential oil blend. I've also ordered a different Ayurvedic hair oil-I really only oil my scalp. Oiling my ends only seems to weigh down my hair. I have very few splits-I thought my hair was a lot more trashed from snorkeling. I think the deep treatments fixed it up!! I guess we've been home about 6 weeks so that's 3 treatments and I've got another one this Friday.

I still want to fix up the shape of my hair...

I'm on day 7 of a 14 day whole body cleanse. Its going well, even with my here and there eating less than recommended. I haven't had any red meat for a week and am surprised that I don't feel crappy.
I had a lymphatic drainage massage yesterday to supplement my cleanse and it was very pleasant and super relaxing.

Halloween, Halloween, Halloween.

I've rescheduled my trim-I think its next week. So, at 12 weeks (or is it 13) my ends still look good. I might even skip this one if I didn't want to change the shape. Perhaps I'll go to trims 4 times a year, and if that works well to 3 trims a year. I think with my drier hair texture I really can't go longer. We'll see.
