Yup, it sucks what the weather can do to hair...and skin. Tongue

And yes, there are sticks in SoCal. Quite a lot of them, actually!
...
A fair example. This is very close to where I live. Grin And our humidity today was 15%.

That's a freeway.  Grin You have to drive 20 minutes from where I live to find one of those.  Grin And yes not much town activity along them mostly exits and roadkill.  Grin Cheesy Roll Eyes So even the sticks in SoCal are more developed.  Cheesy

Wash Day


Wash day was yesterday. Humidity's a wee bit higher so hair just feels dry and gets a lot less poofy, but is still problematic.  Tongue Finally had a shower cap fail last week. So I'm down to two.

Today's style was supposed to be a herringbone all the way down but I still can't get the hang of the tail part. So I stopped at the base of my neck and ended it in an english braid. It's fine either way.

Got new mascara today, had a coupon to boot.  Cool Finally can throw out my old one, it was starting to act funny, which is usually the sign that its been around too long.

Rain was nice last night, we've got some more lined up for tomorrow ending Sunday morning.  Cool

I have decided to again embrace longer nails, which are still called short, 1/4" out or less from the tip is considered short. I never go past 1/4". They're "me" so I shall retain them to the best of my abilities. So of course I decide to start when they're peeling.  Tongue Roll Eyes So I coated them with nail strengthening polish, and I'll make sure I get enough protein and we should be fine.  Cool

Weekend Style & Wild Weather


So yesterday, hairstyle was a flipped ponytail with tail braided accented with a rhinestone and sterling silver hair comb. *grumbles unintelligibly about needing hair pins*

I've already had one nail peel off and break.  Tongue Angry And they're only an 1/8" out.  Tongue

Gadzooks we had a bad thunderstorm yesterday evening. In terms of precipitation it was the worst I've ever been in. With quarter-half dollar size hail.  Shocked In terms of wind/rain/lightning it wasn't overly bad. The "icing" was the tornado warning that accompanied it. ... It's freakishly early for us to get such bad storms, and we only were about 60° yesterday. This is going to be a long season. If you want me you'll know where to find me. ...

Holy crow!  Reminds me of a few years back when we got a wicked storm.  It was the tail end of a hurricane and the trees were bending and the house was shaking!  I put my bunny in a basket and wrapped up the bird cage and took them down to basement. I ran out into the yard gabbed my bonsai tree and dashed back just before it hit.  Poor bunny was trembling and so was I.  He plastered himself against my chest and dug his nails in.  The hail was bouncing off the house.  The sky had turned green and all I could think of was tornado!   When it was all over there were golf ball hail all over the grown, and some broken windows in other houses.  Freaky Canadian weather!

Shocked Scary stuff! We've had hurricanes hit here, but luckily we only ever seem to get torrential rains and wind. Our thunderstorms tend to be worse then the hurricanes.  Roll Eyes And they're calling for more on Friday.  Tongue

Catch Up And Such


Wash day was Monday and yesterday. Nothing exciting. Current products suck like a Hoover so that's where we're at.  Tongue Hair also decided not to grow last month.  Angry

Today's style was braided and contained under my last large tortoise shell jaw clip as it was windy and rainy.

Speaking of that, got stuck in the unmentionable Wal-Mart, which is now only useful for cheap slippers, and nail tools,  Roll Eyes during a thunderstorm. It was raining very, very, very hard. And thundered occasionally too but was mostly raining like the end of the world.  Roll Eyes Meanwhile back home it stormed for two straight hours.  Shocked How glad was I too miss that.

Speaking of nails. Alas another one broke.  Tongue Quel surprise.  Roll Eyes

So my birthday is Sunday.  Embarrassed I will be making a cheesecake of some sort for Easter/my birthday/my dad's birthday (which is today) next weekend, forgot to get a recipe this weekend.  Roll Eyes Well at least they're forecasting beautiful weather, mid 60's and sunny.  Cool

Weekend Style


Thanks Angel.  Smiley And it was blasé as all my birthdays have been for about the past decade.  Roll Eyes

So Saturday, in what I would describe as a fit of insanity Grin Roll Eyes, in desperation to deal with my ever drying hair I used some of my remaining KO oil.  Tongue Not only did it do nothing but my hair is now greasy and dry today.  Tongue I have finally gotten the message though. The message my hair has been sending me for the past three and a half years. You hate natural products. I get it. I shall now return to the last known working product, which would have last been used when I was in high school.  Shocked I know I'm a little slow, but hey at least I eventually figure these things out right?  Grin Cheesy

So hair yesterday was some more of the same. A flipped ponytail with the tail braided and accented for the first time this season with my flower/enamel and crystal barrette.

Twas warm yesterday and tomorrow it will be cold.  Tongue Easter forecasts are contradictory at best.  Undecided

Oh yes and another nail has been lost to the cause.  Tongue And I spilled nail polish remover in the bathroom while removing my last pedicure color.  Shocked Tongue Embarrassed

I sympatise with your natural quest that hasn't gone the way you wanted it to.  I stick to the tried and tested too.  I won't entirely give up but experiments with natural products will be reserved for days I know I won't have to go any where.

Aww, girlie. Sounds like you're having a rough go. And a boring b-day to boot. What's up with that? When you finally come out this way, I'll have to take you skydiving or something. Grin

And I totally hear you on the natural products thing. They've never done a thing for my hair. Well, except make it a greasy/dry/tangled mess. Tongue

Also sounds as though you could benefit from a nail strengthener. Wink

Thanks Drear.

At the moment it would be a lack of a life.  Roll Eyes Previously it varied.

Precisely what I had. Now my skin, on the other hand, likes natural products.  Huh Not even going to try to understand that one.

I am using one since I decided to grow them. It seems to wear off the ends of my nails very quickly and then they break because they're not protected.  Tongue

So I found I still have some of that conditioner that I last knew my hair liked. My hair is in so much better shape.  Cool Can't wait to pick new bottles up on Friday. My hair of the good ol' days is on the return.  Grin Which will make my life all that easier.  Cheesy

It is royally cold and windy out there. And even though I'm a winter person I'm officially fed up with freezing.  Tongue If the calendar says April and Spring that damn it it's time to act like spring!  Angry

Well, silly goose, that's because you need more than 1 coat for it to work. Try 3 or 4. Seriously. Or use it as a base coat under 2 coats of colour and a topcoat.
