HAIR:  
Last night I slathered my hair with VO5 hairdressing and did a scrunchie bun.  Used my new sleep cap inside out.  The bun did not work quite so well this time, little hairs kept pulling in unfindable places and finally the scrunchie fell out.  But I continued to use the sleep cap and things were ok this morning.

Today I conditioned with diluted suave humecant, shampooed with it's partner, did ACV rinse and then condioned again with suave humecant.  Hair seemed a bit fly away and dry as it was drying so I used some of DH's leave in (Crew for men, I love the way it smells).  Once it was dry at work it still seemed dry and fly away and every time I lotioned  my hands I'd put some in my hair .  I've done absolutely nothing with my hair again, not even my little clip.  I did put it up in a scrunchie while making dinner (we don't like to eat hair) but took it out right away.  Fourth time of not using a hair dryer.  This is a record!

LIFE ETC.

I got up at 4:30 this morning and worked out.  I had planed on taking DD on a bike ride this afternoon but it's way too windy here today.  My baby would be knocked off her training wheels!

Did well on diet today but it was not easy.  We had a going away party for a co-worker  but I resisted.  No chips, no bread, no cake, just chicken salad, that which I picked the  cranberries out of......

Ok, that's it.

Trisha-Thanks for the encouragement!

Today in the world of Nancy's hair.....

Last night I used some VO5 hairdressing, brushed with BBB, did low pony and my sleep bonnett.  This morning my hair was still sorta fly away so I decided, while taking my post workout bath, that I would condition only. Used the combination of Suave Biobasics and Suave Daily Moisture.  Looks a lot better today.  No hair dryer, I guess I'm over the addiction. (Ask me again when it's 15 degrees outside )  Did no styling except the pony tail for cooking.

I woke up at the unGodly hour of 4:30 once again and worked out.   I rode 20 minutes on my stationary bike (I know only 20) and did push ups, crunches, leg lifts and stretching.  It's better than nothing.   

Today was the last day of school for my daughter.  She's so glad to be done with Kindergarten (not that she ever really belonged there....

Well, I hope today finds everyone well. 

Angel--Thanks for the vote of confidence.

HAIR:  Could not sleep with my hair braided or in the cap, so it was loose all night  .  Just combed (really I use a pick not a comb but combing sounds so much better than picking  ).  Did not a whole lot.  Did end up doing a fishtail braid on the top part of my hair but took it out about 3 hours later as it was heavy and was giving me a headache.  I will be washing tomorrow.  I'll do a condition, shampoo, and condition....

Life was ok today.  Came home to a total and utter mess as it was the first day of "summer" for DD and since DH worked all night he slept all day.  As a result, the 6 year old ran amuk (sp?).

Ok, I'm tired, check in tomorrow.  Maybe I'll workout, or perhaps I'll wait till Friday.  We'll see.

HAIR:  Last night added tons of leave in conditioner to my hair, used VO5 hairdressing, Crew leave in, and even some "nighttime" lotion I use.....  Slept with a scrunchie bun most of the night until it fell out.   Hair was rather lifeless this morning (as I rather expected but had hoped for better) but I woke up too late for a shower.  As a result, I did a quick CO in the sink, picked thorough and left for work.  Looked the same as always.  Did no styling today except putting up in a poy for cleaning the bathroom.

Dieting is going well.  Need to exercise more though.

I'm sooooo tired.  I don't know why.  This is getting stupid.  I'm looking forward to the holiday simply for the extra day.  DH will be asleep during all my waking hours as he has to work all weekend (he works 6 pm to 6 am).

I may go to Vitamin Cottage tomorrow just to look at the hair products, see in they have Jojoba oil etc.  I cannot purchase anything for a while.

I desperately need to wash my hair.  I had planned on washing this morning, but then I decided to take my daughter to the Albuquerque Aquarium and Botanical Gardens.  It seem pointless to wash my hair just to go out in the sun, wind, sand, and dirt.  So, I threw it up in a pony tail and out we went.  Hair it still very soft and wonderful from the Jojoba oil sample yesterday, but greasy because I still had not washed since my over condion the other day.  I'll wash tomorrow....or Tuesday. (I know, it's gross....)

I've been reading about Chagrin Valley Shampoo Bars and they sound wonderful!  I'd still be compelled to use conditioner though....I wonder if anyone has used these or any other shampoo bars.   I'll have to look in the product area.

Slept with a french braid with tucked under ends...took two scrunchies to completely cover the ends though.

DD used the sleep cap, she really needs it.  Her hair always looks like a rat's nest when she wakes up.  She got her hair washed today and I used Jojoba oil on the ends (just where her pony was).....it's behaving nicely.  Perhaps we can get it to grow?

Ok, that's it for now.

Aww Nan, you're not a hair idiot!

Sticks can be tricky - that stitching part takes some serious practice. I didn't think I'd ever get it! But I just started playing around with some pencils at work and before I even knew it, voilà!   
    Now I fear no hairstick, though sometimes it still takes me a few tries before getting it right.

Quite welcome. 

Last night, at long last, I washed my hair.  Did contion with Suave Bio Basics, shampooed (mostly scalp but a little on the hair, it just felt so gross) with a mixture of Suave Bio BAsics and Suave Daily Moisture.  Then conditioned again with Suave Daily Moisture and a little Suave Bio Basics.  I think I like the Suave Daily Moisture more than any of the others.... I jused a few drops of Jojoba oil while hair was drying and did braids for waves.  Hair looked pretty cute.  I put the front up in a couple of mini jaw clips but sorta twisted each side up first.  My hair sorta looked like it belonged in a old time painting.  I liked it.  My husband did not, he said it was "different".  Well, that was the whole idea right, to look a little different?

I'll oil some before bed and then who knows that I'll be stuck with tomorrow.  I may end up having to do a CO.  I should maybe not do braids for waves when I have to work the rest of the week.

Life is ok.  DD lost her first tooth last night.  So, of course, the tooth fairy had to come for a visit.    DH is acting a little strange lately...No point in asking him what's going on his head/heart....he never tells the truth anyway.

Ok, enough about me for now.
