picked up a ring at jewelry store,went to health food store to pick up Aloe and Jojoba. Man,that's expensive. I could only get a 4 oz. bottle of jojoba for $12.

Someone found this site that sells jojoba oil in bulk. It's cheaper than you're finding it. Check it out.

Good luck with your medication search.

Well,another day. I washed and conditioned my hair yesterday with Garden Botankia Heart shampoo and contioner. I oiled with jojoba oil then length and the ends. Used some aloe vera gel to keep it decent while I did a single braid. It's ok,but I think I'll do a bun today with ketylo sticks. I'm dying to try a ACV rinse,too. One step at a time though,I'm still working on getting the henna . I cringing though because my kitchen sink is not stain-less steel and I don't know what will happen when I rinse. I think my hair is too long for the kitchen sink anyway. The bathtub is another story.......does anyone know if there bathtub got stained from the henna???? What do you use to clean it up??
Gotta run,I think my boyfriend is coming over today.

thanks,much!!! When I get the henna I'll let ya know how the cleaning,goes. I've procrastinating because I've heard horror stories about the henna. My grandmother had Auburn hair and I tend to have reddish highlights in my brunette hair naturally,so All I keep thinking is that my hair would turn red!!! This is not the look I'm going for. Ahh,trials and tribulations!!!

ok,today I bought my first pair of satin pillowcases! Ah,the little pleasures in life! Grin

I'll try them tonight to see how they work out. I'm sure they'll be very good to my hair........speaking of hair I'm still waiting for my hairsticks. They hopefully should be here no later than Wednesday.
My comb from Ric is not here yet either,bummer Sad

Anyway, I picked up a silicone 9x9 square pan for me to make my vegan brownies in. I think I have enough apples also to make vegan apple crisp...let's see now the night goes....
On to hair,it feels ok,but I'd like to do a self trim..it would be the first time I ever did it. I need a really good pair of scissors,though. I see some split ends and am not happy about it since I've been very very good in taking care of my hair. I guess this is just what happens because it feels like happening.
Since I washed it on Thursday maybe I'll wash it on Sunday or Monday. Can I use white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar???? Didn't get a chance to pick ACV up......just curious

Oh yes...be sure to wash your face every night before sleeping on them. They have a tendency to stick to oily skin. Distilled white vinegar can indeed be used instead of ACV. I have actually never used ACV - only white, and it works quite well.

I've been using Purity Made Simple and Hope in a Jar and it takes off all make-up beautifully Can't wait to try the white vinegar. How much should I use? when I dilute it,how much water? P.S. How are you holding up?

It feels like a start over for your hair. The loss of length can be discouraging, but hang in there. How are vegan brownies different than the regular kind? Meg

Trimming??Not me! I did a white distilled vinegar rinse today after shampooing and before conditioning and let's say curls galore!!!! I think I'll be doing this rinse at least once a week!

The satin pillow cases are to die for,the comb from Ric came yesterday,(love,love,love) and the LL hairsticks came today!!!! Grin

Got the Geisha Stix,Bridal Stix and the Spiral Stix. Ah,life is good.
Oh yeah,the vegan brownies,,,,,sorry I got distracted Embarrassed

the difference is that there are no animal products used e.g.-eggs,butter,milk. I use Steevia instead of sugar,whole wheat flour,soy milk and other ingredients that keep it vegan. In fact,I don't eat or use any white flour products in my eating lifestyle. I'd make your head spin with all radical things I do when I bake or cook. I think coming from 200 pounds and now being 120 pounds and 22% body fat,that's why I am so obsessive with staying as healthy as possible. I've maintained the wieght loss for about 20 years. The MS has alot to do with it,too.
Anyway,if ya ever need any suggestions for treats or cooking,let me know!

Well,today was a whirlwind! When I went to bed last night I had 4 scrunchies down the length of my hair and slept on my satin pillowcase. My bichon even tried to sneak on it!! Grin

One of the best things I've baught in a long time! Hair was very curly last night,but this morning it was just wavy. That's ok,it's easier to put up in a bun. Used ketylo long hairsticks to put it up while I did all the trying up of boxes for recycle tomorrow.
I really like that vinegar rinse yesterday,too. Used Dove's moisture shampoo and conditioner,Ouidad's balancing rinse (a tiny bit through the length as a leave in conditioner,jojoba oil and a little aloe vera gel and voila! I was finished! I think when/if it gets past my butt my routine is going to take a long long time. I figure anything worth doing may take a long time!

I think tomorrow I'll play and use one of the sets of LL hairsticks I got yesterday...............

Reply #41 - Mar 29^th, 2006 at 10:34pm The brownies sound interesting and complicated. I don't think I could be vegan, but I'm glad it floats your boat. I have noticed that my ACV rinses do wonderful things to my hair too. Keep up the good work. Meg

The brownies are pretty easy. If you want I'll look for a recipe for ya and post it. Just let me know if you ever want to try them. My family expecially my mother is the biggest critic about my food,but she never complains about my muffins or brownies!!

Ok,now it's all over.............I ordered another pair of hairsticks yesterday!! Grin

These are the Japanese Sky Original Hairsticks. I think I have about 9 sets and 1 Geisha. Had a partial bun yesterday with ketylo hairsticks and it looks ok,but after talking with Susan(aka-Rapunzel) I took all of my hair and put it in a high ponytail,braided it and then put it in a bun. Wonderful!!! It not only stayed up it looked pretty good,too! Same thing this morning. Tomorrow I'll wash it,deep condition it and oil it.

Slight change of plans, I did wash my hair with Ouidad's Curly shampoo for kids(don't ask,it just works for me!) THen I used Ouidad Curly Conditioner,alittle jojoba oil on length and ends,aloe vera gel and it now sits on top of my head in a huge alligator(?) clip. Feels ok,nothing like when I did the vinegar rinse last week. I'll take it down in a little while and then let it air dry all day. Should be wavy and curly.
Hopefully my other set of Ketylo hairsticks will be here today........
Oh, very little hot water today,don't know why,it was 6am!!!! So a very very cold rinse,I swear my scalp got goose bumps!! lol I better have lots of shine from that ordeal!
