Today I did wash with no poo, but I put one condition on my ends first adn I let it sit for awhile before applying the no poo, and before I did I added a little more on conditon to the ends. Everything came out fine. I decided to trim and even out my sides today cause the girl that I wanted to cut my hair is going to be gone the last few weeks of thsi month. She said my hair looked really healthy!!!! Smiley She had chopped off all her hair! Her hair was mid-back length or longer, I tried not to pay much attention cause it would just make me mad at myself. Angry While I was in there a lady came in with either her daughter or grandaughter and was asking about highligts for her 13 year old whatever! She had BSL length hair that looked in need of a good 2" trim. They were qouted $60-$80. I thought for a 13 year old! Not to mention the cost of touch-ups! If I had a daughter I don't think I would allow that at her age. Maybe the ones that wash out, but not permanates.
Got J's ring back today. It doesn't look to bad, but it's not what it used to be. I recieved the form to apply for reduced/ free school lunches today. Last year we got reduced which takes it from $1.55 to .40. This year it will cost me around $140.00 for both boys if we get reduced again, which I don't see why we wouldn't. I have to pay for their lunches + $8 each for assemblies + $3 something each for National Geaographic subscriptions! Add on top of  that all the supplies and school clothes, I am broke!  Shocked

So today I am going to do an ACV rinse and condition the ends since my hair was washed with salon products.

Nothing really new or exciting!

I forgot to mention one thing, the girl who trimmed my hair said something about taking fish oil. She said it make your nails and hair grow. I did some research and found  information on it, but not alot. Mainly just said it is good for hair, skin, and health. Anyway, I decided to put it to the test. I bought a bottle of 100 Nature Made 1200 mg w/ Omega 3 softgels last night form Walmart (I would have gone to the health food store, but this was late at night). The directions say to take one or two softgels two times a day. I am going to start with one softgel twice a day. I will continue to take my multi, as I have seen great effects with taking this everday for the past three months (nail growth). I have yet to know if the Jason's nail saver is really working. I have cracked both thumb nails on the sides, and for far of them ripping staright across (owy, owy), and snagging on things, I cut them. Last night I also lost my middle fingernail on my left hand. I jsut reached for something and the tip of the nail snapped. So I am not sure if my continued use every night is making them to hard, and therefore will make them snap when hit hard enough.
J and I also went to IHOP late last night. I got an omlette that was HUGE! I got about half way through and took the rest home. One thing I have to control is eating until I feel stuffed. I need to watch myself, and just eat until I feel full. I have been doing ok, but there is plenty of room for improvement. I have also been trying to limit my intake of carbonated beverages. I used to only drink soda, but have changed to drinking milk, and water mostly with about 1-2 sodas a day. I would cut it out completely, but I think I am afraid of the withdrawl symptoms I would have (more headaches than I already have).
My new acne meds have shown some results, but one side of my face is still breaking out pretty bad. Come Tuesday I will have been on them a week, so if I see no improvement in another week, I will up the dosage to 1 pill 2x a day, per doctor's orders.
Ok, so I think that is all. Plus the movie Aeon Flux is on, and I have never seen it, just the animated version that was on MTV late nights! I loved it then, so I ma curious about the movie!

You can also try taking Biotin for your hair and nails. I've been taking it for almost two years now. My hair's thicker and it tends to grow faster...unless of course I have somehow reached my terminal length  Shocked but it used to. And my nails, which used to break and peel all the time, not unlike what yours sound like, are now all long and strong at 1/4" past fingertip each. Now Biotin does take six months to work... but I think it's worth it in the end. Oh and good luck cutting out the soda, that stuff is nasty for you, so it is best to stop drinking it, just watch out for caffeine withdrawal like you mentioned.

I take my Deva products with me when I get a trim and she uses them on me.

Did you like the movie?  I watched the second half, tho I have seen it before.  Did you watch UltraViolet after that and then Underworld???  Its women kickin' a$$ day on TNT!

Tanai: I have read past posts about Biotin, and while it sounds wonderful, I know I need a multi, and I have enough trouble remembering to take everything I do now, not to mention the added problem about taking anything 2-3 hours (something like that) before or after I take my doctor prescribed meds for my acne! I am not a whiz on vitamens by any means, but I know it's bad to overdose on some things, and I am not sure how Biotin would react, if at all, with my multi and fish oil. Yes caffiene withdrawls are horrid, I know first hand!

Sakina: I thought about taking them, but I wasn't even sure she would be there, and I'll have to ask her next time I see her, if she wouldn't mind doing that for me. I did tell her what I was using after she told me my hair looked really good. I told her the no poo has no SLS and the conditioner has no cones in it, and she said that is really great. I also told her that I have been using oo and acv, and what for. I am surprised that she didn't know about that stuff already.
I really liked Aeon Flux! That was awsome! J changed the channel while I was getting ready, so I saw the start of UltraViolet, but nothing beyond that. I have seen Underworld, but not in awhile. I really liked that movie as well. I have always been drawn to strange movies, specially if they are about vampires and such. I even like the Harry Potter movies!

Sorry,  Embarrassed I come from a vitamin popping atmosphere, so I know a lot and tend to share. But for the record biotin doesn't interfere with either the fish oil or your multi, actually I take a multi that has some biotin in it. Now with your medication I don't know, probably not, but I don't want to say for sure. Most natural supplements don't interact with most medications so *shrug*. Well it's out there if you ever try.

That's ok Tanai, I actually would be glad to know all I can about vitamins and supplements, as I don't know much at all! I just don't want to be taking alot, as I have a hard time swallowing the gigantic pills vitamins etc.. tend to be.

Don't I know it! Some of those pills look like they're intended for horses or something, it's like don't the realize the human throat's not that big!  Shocked  Heck I was just in the health food store yesterday and on the bottle of something or other they had a picture of the actual size of the pill, it was (and I kid you not) from here |                      | to here!  Shocked I was like WTF who can swallow that!  Shocked Huh  Well shopping around does help, must find things that I'm actually capable of swallowing it's either that or use liquid like a kid which always tastes nasty.  Tongue

My multi isn't that big, but I heard from Dr. OZ, that you should cut it on half and take one in the morning and the other one later. Something about maximizing the absorbtion I think  Huh ? When I take a half, it has gotten stuck in my throught on one than more occasion, luckily I haven't had to give my self the heimlich. I don't even want to think about liquid supplements, blah, I don't think it would stay down! Tongue


Just been conditioning the ends. Nothing really significant or exciting.


Every once in awhile I go into a worry mode. Yesterday was ok, but when I woke up in the middle of the night, all hell broke loose! I worried about finances mostly. Are house payment is set to go up in January (due to property taxes), I know we will be fine, it's just a little tight for comfort. Specially with the way groceries and such are going up. Luckily I don't have to by any beef, as we bought a half before this year and still have plenty. I am hoping it will last us until we get our taxes back next year, and then I hope to buy another half, but there is no telling what could come up. I was a total retard and bought my husband a flat screen television, and we got no payments or interest for a year, which gives us until March 2009, so the price of that comes out of taxes! So much for thinking I could get a vacation! One of these days when I tell myself we are not going to spend money on stupid things, I'll actually mean it. I am one to needs to learn to be happy with what they have.
I watched the Notebook last night. *sigh* Ryan Gosling is a cutie, especially when he is all scruffy! Anyway, that is officially my fav romantic movie. Oh, and here is a shocker, J watched it with me, he told me that I shouldn't cry because then he does!

I just watched it Saturday night, for the first time, I had read the book but never saw the movie, I loved it. And yes he is a cutey but I like him better without the facial hair, I don't think it works very well on him, and my mom said he looked like a reject with it. I was like it's not that bad.  Wink

No, I didn't like him with facial hair either, but I liked him when his hair wasn't all perfect, and he when he grinned like he does and his eyes light up, OH MY! Cheesy I think he and Matthew McConaughey, Colin Ferril, and Johnny Depp are cuties!
