Sakina: Quote: Hey, MA, I get my nails to grow very long by rubbing oil into the cuticles at night before bed. It takes a while for it to kick in, my nails are growing like crazy.

Thanx for the tip. I do use Burt's Bees cuticle creme on occasion but generally avoid oils since my skin hates them.


I used to grow my nails out long, I got tired of them breaking and peeling.  Tongue Ever since I neglected a small crack in one and actually ripped the end of the nail off trying to zip my coat up I tend to keep them short. I haven't found anything to make them resilient enough to grow out.  Tongue

Sounds like you have a similar nail type to mine as well. Wink Though I could never grow mine long if I wanted to. My job/lifestyle/nail texture would never allow for it, sadly. Sad
   It will be interesting to see if the Biotin that I'm now taking has any effect on the growth rate/health of my nails though. I try to keep them in decent shape so my manicures last longer. Speaking of which...

Nails: Note to self: Never attempt to touch up a manicure before a shower. Tongue
Needless to say, the previous one went 6 days before being completely destroyed, which is something of a record. Especially considering I'd used cheaper polish.
   Anywho, nails are now bare, but aided with hand lotion and cuticle creme. We'll work on the shaping & painting tomorrow maybe.

Hair: A somewhat unconventional WTC today, in keeping with this week's theme. Washed with shampoo blend, then did an ACV rinse before the Fortifying treatment. Finished with light conditioner & Detangling spray. Hair is still air drying.

Last night, I got a few new hair toys from Claire's, including a black pony flip tool for only $3. Smiley It's cheap plastic & has seams galore, which I may or may not file down and paint over. It's not a huge danger since I'll only be using it for a few seconds anyway. I plan on testing it out during my break.

There was soooo much cute stuff there to tempt me that I just had to leave. In particular was a black satin headband with a cluster of black roses, black feathers and black glitter on one side. Totally hair safe and the last of it's kind that I've seen in the entire county. We'll see if it's still there after the bills get paid. Roll Eyes

Other Stuff: Due to weather issues, I've had a bloody nose for 3 days and have decided to call off nocturnal power walks until the official start of February (which I realize is in 2 days - don't get smart with me). Until then, I'll be sitting fat & happy (and bloody) with a humidifier and a pile of junk food. Mmm, Necco tart hearts...

I've been taking Biotin for over a year now and it has made my nails grow faster, they don't peel or break as badly if I remember to keep them short. Which in a sense means more work because they have to be manicured more often.  Tongue Roll Eyes

That's basically my goal. Short, healthy nails that can renew themselves quickly if there's a "disaster." Roll Eyes

Welcome to SoCal. Tongue I've had my humidifier running for 2 days now and my nose hasn't stopped bleeding. Sad

Shocked Wow. Those take 3 days between myself & whomever else wants them.

Thanx and you're probably right. Smiley

Hair: CWC's + Detangling spray this weekend. Yesterday, I wore a flipped ponytail again, using my tool to make it - so much easier than doing it all by hand.
Today, I'll leave my hair down until after I measure. Then, either a braid or another flipped ponytail.

Nails: Peeling again, so I finally gave in and clipped them all off. Shocked Embarrassed But I rescued them this morning. Now I have a fresh new mani with a weird colour...Rimmel's Play Fast polish in Hard Edged. Very urban.

Other Stuff: My father found a great deal on a new laptop at Best Buy and urged me to check it out. It's $100 cheaper than a new motherboard for my current one. But it's also nowhere near as powerful. Meh. Would be good for my credit to finance it though. Undecided

That's all for now. I'm off to figure out how to rig my camera phone for a new hair pic. Wink

Hair: 3rd day CWC hair...which actually isn't terrible. I have it sprayed, oiled and up in a flipped ponytail, so it's all good. Tomorrow's clarifying day.

Other Stuff: Nose is still bleeding. Gah, I hate this weather! Tongue Skin is sooo dry - I'm all lotioned & powdered up like a baby.


We're as one, unified, and we're fighting the tide
Crush the doubts that remain, kill them all
Silence falls to the call of the day

And another day comes
As another begins to erode
Fades away 'til it's gone

We hold the light in our hands
As the darkness begins to erode
Shines as bright as the sun

We are finding our way through the dark unknown
We are watching the sky for a storm to come

Trisha: Thanks. Cheesy

Hair: Did an overnight treatment of EVOO and aloe gel, then clarified this morning. Used a little more EVOO than usual afterwards, but my hair is braided now so it doesn't matter. The ends are very soft. Like spun glass and spiderwebs. Smiley

Music: It looks as though Picus Maximus has truly dissolved. I've not heard a peep out of Lizard in over a week, so apparently he's not attempting to get the band back together. The rest of us seem to have moved on.
   The remaining members are rehearsing again tomorrow, and again, I told Moon Pie that I'd be there. The blues band has its first show in March...God help us. I suppose I'll pop in and see what (if anything) I can do to contribute. But I won't stay longer than my schedule will permit.

Health: Last night, I power walked again. It was bloody cold and dry out, but I got used to it. Had to take it easy after a cramp got me at the halfway point. Tongue

Other Stuff: My little sister has moved out. Smiley: She has a nice condo with her bf and is slowly moving all of her stuff into it. They don't live very far from our house and she stops by almost every day. My bathroom will stay cleaner now that I'm not sharing it with her and my "bathroom stuff" has more room to hang out. I no longer have to carry a heavy basket of shower stuff to & from the bathroom every morning - it now lives in the shower caddy and does not move. The basket now holds all of the other shower stuff that I don't use regularly. Frees up some extra space in my bedchamber.
Sad:But I miss that little monster...and even her monster sized messes. Grin And I think I kind of understand how she must've felt the first time I moved out.
   Now, life at home will be kind of like it was before she was born. The family structure was there, but it was empty. She completed it and gave it life, but now it's empty and silent again. I keep to myself and the 'rents keep to themselves. Just as it was.
Ah well. Keep going.

Oh, and look at that! I'm an emerald. Wink

Awww... Embarrassed   I remember how difficult and strange it was when my sister moved out the first time.  I'm sure you'll miss her presence, but at least she isn't too far away. Smiley

LD: True, and she has been visiting every night. Smiley

Trisha: *hugs* Thanks, and you're quite right.

Tanai: It seems to be the trend for younger generations to move out later. I was out of the house at 19 and my father left the nest 3 days after graduating from high school. Some of us just aren't so privileged at home. Roll Eyes
    Btw, if things don't work out with your SoCalian musical bf, I have a friend whom you might like. He totally paid me to say that. Roll Eyes

Hair: 2nd day with CWC + Detangling spray. Got a bit nauseous in the shower this morning. I wish I didn't have to take them so early on Thursdays. ...
   
Harvesting project is still going. I have 10 hairs from the last 2 days or so at the office alone and must take them home to add to the collection. I almost have a very thin lock already.

As for the lock that I already gave away, the remaining strands are now between 8-10" long and the ends stick out of my braid. Roll Eyes Ugh, I'm so never cutting my hair for a boy ever again!

Anyway, today, hair's up in a bun and secured with a hairstick.

Music: Didn't go to practice last night either. Embarrassed Poor Moon Pie...he must think I'm such a flake! But my father got home from work late and wasn't ready to go until almost 8 PM and I had I would've had to be back home by 9. Plus, they don't really have songs together yet, so it wasn't worth my time any way you look at it. Apologies, Brother Pie...I still love ya.

Other Stuff: Did simple step aerobics while catching up on The Biggest Loser yesterday. It sucks being sabotaged by so-called best friends, eh? That's what happened to the last 2 teams who were eliminated. Sucks for them. But now I'm rooting for everyone on the show. And is it just me or is Jillian getting prettier every season?

As for my own portly self, the scale read 114.8 this morning. Not terrible, but not great. I need to make it back to the beach this spring. A new swimsuit & Morey board would be ideal, but I can make do with what I have. And I've invited my sis to come along whenever I go.

Bloody @#$%, I'm hungry! Haven't eaten anything yet, but popcorn & an Instant Lunch will tide me over until I get home. Then, I'll make a huge, honkin' salad. ...
