Angel-

I don't quite understand my love for black eyeliner and mascara. I must have it, every day if I plan to leave my house! I've tried brown and grey but it's just not the same....

My secret is using too much I think Wink

.

I line upper and lower lids with liquid liner and let it dry. Then I go over the liquid with pencil and smudge with black or grey eyeshadow.....some brown eyeshadow and about 3 coats of mascara and I'm ready to go. I do use mineral makeup base but usually no blush (I have a tendency to turn quite pink/red naturally) and rarely some lipstick/gloss. It stays put all day, even through the after work workout in 90+ degree heat! ???

I know it's bad but it's my look... dark eyes, fair skin, dark hair parted in the middle....it works. I could blame my "New Wave" days in high school, but I think it's been a problem since going to mid-school in Southeast Texas....they practically teach you the art of makeup application in PE! Grin

I guess I'll never grow up. Or perhaps it's because I'm....how'd you put it....."darkly inclined"....I love that!

I will, however, make a better effort to wash and moisturize....it is my solom swear to you miss Angel Spun...ok?

Talk to you soon!

Wow, that's quite a routine! lol Of course nothing that my winter makeup couldn't rival...that is, when I bother to wear it. Roll Eyes

I've gotten so bad with that lately.

Ugh 90+° heat!! Tongue

It's the same out here in SoCal. Most of my "makeup" during the summer mainly consists of very high SPF sunblock. I don't part my hair because the sun will burn my part.
Do you leave your hair down in this weather? lol That's amazing if you can get away with it! I try to put mine up & just forget about it because it feels soooo gross & hot if I try to leave it down. Tongue

Besides, a messy updo tied up with black or "dead" roses & dark ribbons is ohh so gothic! Wink

Angel-

You are too funny!

Yes, I do usually wear my hair down, only put the crown up in my mini jaw clip (mostly at work). I will occasionally braid it or put it in a pony for the gym but I mostly leave it down. Oh, and yes, I have a scrunchie in my kitchen so I can cook without sheading into my family's meals.

As far as the sun burning my part....I don't see much sun. I'm rather vampirish when it comes to the sun....my eyes water and I get a terrible headache so I avoid it as much as possible, not really hard since I work in a building with few windows. I do "indulge" in the sun when I go hiking or go to the zoo or aquarium with my daughter on the weekends and then it's just the luck of the draw (put on sunscreen and see what happens.)

You should take some pics so we can see your "dark" hair toys. I can rarely find anything I like enough to spend the money on. I find a few celtic knot barrettes but they're mostly french style barrettes and they pull my hair...So I'll stick with my mini black jaw clips and my giant black jaw clip (for thick hair) for now.

Talk to you soon.

I know exactly what you mean about vampirish sun habits. Wink

I avoid it as much as possible also, but having to work mornings & afternoons for the past 14 months has been awful. Just walking from my car to the office in the sun is murder. Tongue

Thank God for the one place where I do have a/c!

Believe me, as soon as I get a digicam (or have my Rebel cleaned & repaired) I'll be posting pix of everything!! I'm way behind on the whole pic posting thing, but it will have to wait until I can afford it....which could be awhile. Sad

But that gives me time to perfect my homemade dark hairtoys. Grin

I have the prototypes made, but they didn't turn out exactly as I had envisioned. So I'm back to waiting until I can afford more supplies. Roll Eyes

I'll definitely post pix when I can, though.

Ok, Nancy's hair......

I took a bath last night and shampooed just because I wanted to soak my sore back.....Slept with very damp piggy braids (no oil). Hair today is wavy but not too wavy....kinda nice. I did add some of my husband's Crew leave in conditioner this morning.

It's just hanging here being all happy with itself. Went to the gym, left it down....

I'll probably do a pony for my evening workout should I decide to actually do one.....if my headache goes away....usually a headache like this, accompanies by the sneezing I've had and the sleepiness....ick! I'll bet I'm trying to get a cold. I'll have to go take some Trimune and my vitamins. I'll do that now. (Glad I figured that out, I was afraid it was from my new chai....)

Ok, enough for now..

Laters.

I did use the leave in conditioner and I failed to do an exra cold water rinse....so, I'll be cold water rinsing and I won't use the leave in conditioner anymore. Too bad, it smelled so good! Ok, nothing else to report...boring life here....

Let's see......I have not washed since the 4th.....just been wearing it down. But, I did find these hair pins by scunci (sp) that hold "excessive amounts of hair" andy I can actually get my hair into a bun!!!!!!!! It's not necessarily pretty and it's pretty messy because the laypers stick out but it's a bun nonetheless and I can wear it up to the gym!!!!!! Now if it will only grow so I can have a neat bun instead of a messy bun......

Ok, enough for now!

Bye

I still have not washed. As a result I am once again successfully wearing a bun!

I discovered the double braided bun on the Styling Station. I can actually make it work! The ends of my layers stick out of the braids a little, but still a much neater bun than the cinnamon bun for me at this point in my hair cycle. I'm so excited. These pins work great too! I could probably hold up my bun with only two, but I use four just to be sure...

Ok, enough babbling for now.

TTYL!!!

I did my braided bun for work. I didn't feel like having wet hair. I know when I take it down in a few minutes it will still be wet. Everyone thought it looked cute though!

Well, my hair was still quite damp when I took my bun down at the the end of the night. So, I left the braids in. They were still a little damp in the morning but they created nice waves. It was cute.

Not a whole lot to report here....been having knee pain and terrible back spams....but I'm still working out (only once a day until the spams stop at least) and dieting. I've lost 30 pounds in 4 months....only the tip of the iceburg but it's a start I guess.

Husband......I won't even start....

I hope everyone is doing well.

Angel Spun, Trisha, and Curlgirl64-

Awwwwww, thanks! I appreciate the acknowledgement! I needed that. Thanks.

Angels-

Yes, still using Suave Daily Moisture. See that you purchased Suave Humecant. I use that in my shower....I like it. It seems to work, but I think I still like the other best.

Hair-

did nothing, wore it half up and half down. Ok...getting tired. had to take muscle relaxant. Better get going.

Again Guys...Thanks! Grin
