Would You Believe Even More Wash Day Confusion Huh

So yesterday, being my typical exceedingly lazy self. I decided to opt out of doing my usual pre shampoo routine. Shocked

So other then ABS when it was wet. Then oil eventually. I discovered it was not more flyaway or drier then it normally is. And it actually seems fluffier? Huh

Wow this could be a good thing. I might actually be able to get away with only doing intensives once a week. *blinks blankly* What confuses me is how is this turning out to be a good thing? Huh

But my laziness loves it. Grin

And apparently so does my hair. Grin

Stuff

Yes so it looks as if this lazy @$$ will be cutting back to deep conditioning once a week. In other hair notes I've figured that once I get my hair to my goal length...
34" @ 1/2" 9/12mos - 1"tri-annual trim = the twelfth of never. Cheesy

That I will stop taking the Biotin to a) slow my growth down so maintenance will be easier and b) to thin my hair out again. Since my hair is thick and coarse it can often look bushy, which can at times look overwhelming on someone of small stature and frame. So eliminating it should bring it back to where it was before I started taking it about a 3" ponytail instead of a 4". And should make some styles easier to do because I have a #ell of a time coiling my hair. Tongue

But that's neither here nor there at the moment.

Anyways it's a "nice" weather day. In the 40's with steady rain, that bone chilling nip in the air. A perfect day for staying under a blanket and having hot chocolate with spice cookies. Which is precisely what I plan on doing later this afternoon. Cheesy

Wow, I wish I had your problem. If I coil my hair up, people are like, "Excuse me, ma'am, but did you know that there's a walnut on your head? Oh wait, that's a bun." Roll Eyes

OMG, are you kidding? Perfect day to be outside running around in the rain like a lunatic. YEEEEEEEEE!! WOOOOOOO!! HAHAHAHA!! Smiley

At least that's what I'd be doing...but then, they don't let me out much in the first place.

Aww come on Angel. Apparently I haven't made my love of cold rainy weather apparent. That's what I did after I went out in it. Roll Eyes

Gotta warm up some how.

Wash Day, Updates, and Weekends

So yes forgot to post that weight has dropped back down to 120lbs. That weight gain was precisely what I thought it was. Will stick to new exercise routine for a month and see if there's any improvements before trying something new yet again. Roll Eyes

Yesterday was wash day. Forced myself to do my pre shampoo routine. Hair is definitely happier with only weekly deep conditioning it isn't weighed down as much. ABS and a little extra oil and BBAB this morning because had to put hair back in a braid today. 50mph winds. Tongue

So I did a Dutch braid. No clue about tomorrow's contained style as of yet.

So it was "supposed to" rain all day today. The weather stations were so certain of it they said 100% chance of rain... it didn't rain 80% of the day. Grin

It came down like crazy this morning and was really windy. The wind stayed but the sun came out and it got to 70°. Of course I didn't bring sunglasses. Roll Eyes

Tomorrow is supposed to be windy again but only in the 40's. We have a chance of snow showers later in the week, and it will be very cool all the way through next week averaging in the upper 30's to low 40's. Such is November in our part of the Northeast. Incidentally it still can warm up last Thanksgiving it was 68°. Roll Eyes

Tis A Windy Weekened

$#!t that wind makes it cold out there. It's 44° right now with like a 30-40mph wind. *brr* So yes. Hair was just a braid today accented with my rhinstone scrolled butterfly barrette. With adequate KO and BBAB to make it behave. First time I got to where my hat/scarf/gloves. My dressy church set is a white furry hat, a lot like a Russian hat, with white gloves and white Angora scarf. And my plain set is the multicolored scarf I knitted myself with brown Angora hat and gloves. Yes you heard me Angora if you're one of those PETA minded people who have a problem with people wearing animal fuzz just keep your BS to yourself. I'm not for cruelty or animal testing but d@mn it I will wear them and eat them. Angry

And yes I actually do plan on owning a leather jacket and fur coat one day, Cool

I've already got leather boots and purses. Wink

And yes I do eat meat. Grin

So anywho... it'sa cold out there. And I'm ready for any potential snow showers that may come our way. The cold doesn't look to be going anywhere and I can't wait to break out my sweaters. Cool

Wash Day...*brrr*

It is freaking cold out there. Our highs have been and will remain in the mid to upper 30's all week. Of course this means sweaters and my new boots can come out to play but $#!t it was 70° on Saturday we never seem to get anytime to acclimate. And our average high is actually 48°. This weather also means lots of hot chocolate and time under a blanket after freezing my tail off. Grin

So an uneventful wash day. Used a little more ABS seems to make my hair behave a bit more. *hmm* I'm thinking of trying the rest of the products from that line because they look like they have some nifty stuff and I'm curious. Cheesy

Wash Day, Weight, Hair Stress

Weighed myself yesterday. Three muffins this week put me up to 121lbs. So no muffin today and perhaps next week to see if I can't lose a couple. After that I'll probably not weigh myself until my waist measurement actually drops. No point otherwise, I don't actually have any excess fat anywhere else so that would be a good indicator. Tongue

Anyone know any "miracle" ab exercises? Grin

Yesterday was wash day with a TWC usual routine. ABS wet and KO and BBAB dry tried using extra BBAB on damp hair to make braids. Those didn't stay so I took them out and made one braid that didn't stay. Angry

I've got a couple more ideas on that front before I throw in the towel.

It's so f***ing cold out there it was only in the low 30's today which for us is typical only in January! Shocked

Needless to say I got to wear my first sweater and my new boots. Cool

Both of which helped to keep me toasty. Grin

Bought a new nail buffing block today and some Split End Mender (SEM). Desperately need to order some hair pins and a new comb. Tongue

Also will be running out of shampoo in 1/2 weeks. Roll Eyes

I just figured out that if my hair only grows 1/2" for 9 months then stops growing those months in the summer and I trim an inch every 4 months that my hair will only be a half inch longer by next October. Shocked

WTF? So I've decided to try to hold off on trimming my hair as long as possible perhaps the SEM will help my ends to keep from looking scary too soon. I mean I'm going to work at "growing" my hair so I can gain half an inch? Huh

I don't think so. Angry

Needless to say that p!$$ed me off. Roll Eyes

Just An Update

Hair was worn in a flipped ponytail accented with a crystal and sterling silver hair comb. Twas a bit nicer yesterday upper 30's with sun. Today it's in the mid 40's except it's very cloudy and raw with a bone chilling wind. I'm sitting here now with my hot chocolate and blanket "thawing out" so to speak. Grin

Rain is expected. Unfortunately to late at night to enjoy it. Tongue

Perhaps tomorrow. Grin

Quite The Busy Hair Day.

So yesterday was wash day. After realizing my scalp had been itchy for the last week and my hair was looking gunky I decided it was high time to do a clarifying day. So after my usual JO scalp massage that was precisely what I did. I washed with tea tree scalp therapy shampoo that was lying around, must get some clarifying shampoo. Followed with a white vinegar rinse, and my regular shampoo, with extra conditioner. Wet leave ins were ABS on length and SEM for the first time on ends. Hair dried and is 20x better then before. It so needed that. Cool

Just needed a touch of oil on the length today and hair is very silky and safely out of the way. Ended the day with a round of S&D which must become a regular part of my routine if I hope to extend the time between trims.

Tongue

I've got a very mild case of acute viral tonsillitis. It's more of a nuisance then anything else. A swollen tonsil, some cold like symptoms, no fever or anything. But a perfect excuse to get out of exercising. Grin

Well I won't be posting till Friday because tomorrow's Thanksgiving, duh. Roll Eyes

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Black Friday

I'm sure just love that they call it that Angel. Wink

So no recession around where I live. Lines were very long most places. Bought a few things. Got boots for mucky winter weather, some new slipper socks, the WALL-E DVD, some new lotion, and a new sweater blazer it's blazer cut with buttons and a waist tie, it's really cute need to lose about 5lbs to fit it though. Roll Eyes

Perhaps next winter, and before you bother to ask yes it is my size it's just the crop cut puts emphasis on ones tummy. Tongue

Hair wasn't washed yesterday, and I'll wash it tomorrow. So I wore it in low braided pigtails with my denim "news-boyish" hat. Hope everyone snagged some great deals. Cool
