Good luck with the baking soda.  I'm such a fumble finger that I fear it'll just become very messy for me.

Tuesday 26 May 2009
Hair  I washed 3 times total with the baking soda recipe, then gave it up.  After each washing my scalp felt tender, almost raw.  Even though baking soda is non-abrasive, it is apparently too much for my sensitive skin to handle.  I'm back to using Pantene Ice Shine shampoo.  However I'm not using commercial conditioner right now, opting instead for vinegar rinses every so often.

Other  I went home sick last Wednesday at noon and didn't return to work until today.   Sad  Granted there was a weekend and a holiday in there but still...  I don't know if it was a sinus infection or a very bad cold but, either way, I'm glad it's gone. 

Taking my jewelry for it's semi-annual cleaning today after work, which involves me going to the local mall.  While I'm waiting, I may as well walk over to Marie Claire, eh?   Cool

Thursday 28 May 2009
Hair  No wash day.  Scalp feels better since I gave up the baking soda.  I still believe the no 'poo way of life can work for others who thicker hair, but it's not for me.  That's okay; I'll stick with my Pantene.   Smiley

Other  I did indeed make a stop at Claire's the other day during my trip to the mall.  However there were two rather portly women huddled around the earrings (where I wanted to be) so I didn't stay long.   Angry  I've pretty much decided to have a second hole pierced in my right lobe (or repierced rather), it's simply a matter of deciding when I want to do it.

Monday 1 June 2009
Hair  Got a wild hair last night (pardon the pun) and tried pincurls.   Shocked  The curls were a little out of control this morning when I took out the bobby pins, but I worked with 'em.  Look a little 1940'ish today, which is my favourite era.   Cool  Didn't have time to snap a photo this morning... maybe tonight.

Other  First of June, are you kidding me?!   Huh  Sheesh.  Got the A/C fixed in my car just in time, I think, because today it's miserable outside.  Welcome to summer in Missouri.

Thursday 4 June 2009
Hair  Washed out the last of my pincurls yesterday, which had turned into waves at best.  I can't imagine setting my hair with either pincurls or sponge rollers every night the way women used to do.   Shocked  It had to be hard on their hair, yes?  But that was the style way back when...  You know, that would be a good experiment, sort of a 'week in the life of' type of thing.  Maybe I'll do that soon for a week, just to find out what it feels like. 

Other  Since our weather finally turned warmer, I'm finally seeing more hummers, er (sorry Angel) hummingbirds.  Lou Costello is back, the pudgy little fellow who is visibly larger than the others.   Smiley  It's nice to be able to identify a regular.

Actually, as I understand it, they only washed and set their hair once a week. They would cover it or pin it up while bathing, sleeping, etc. But their hair was very stiff and shellacked into place. Tongue Kinda takes the glamour out of it, eh? My mother explained the process to me once while we were watching Andy Griffith reruns. Roll Eyes

If I may interject just a little...for your sake, of course...I wouldn't recommend getting a mall piercing. They're done with guns, which cannot be totally sterilized, and the jewelry that they use is very cheap, low grade surgical steel. They are done solely for fashion purposes without much consideration for professionalism. I can't even remember how many mall piercings I've had, but my ears rejected all of them.

It's best to visit a specialized shop that only does piercing and uses hollow needles. The environment is much more sanitary (like a doctor's office), the tools are totally sterile and are used only once - on you. The employees are total pros and are much more knowledgeable about the process of piercing and how to care for piercings afterwards.
   My last 4 piercings were done this way and I will absolutely never go back to guns. In fact, I recommend avoiding earrings from accessory shops like Claire's, The Icing, etc. because of the cheap grade of their metals. They are notorious for causing infections and allergic reactions. Other jewelry is fine...necklaces, bracelets and so forth because they don't actually go into your body. Just thought I'd share before you end up doing something regrettable. Kiss

I agree totally about the piercing guns.  Not only can they not be sterilized, but the trauma of the piercing can cause swelling.  I speak from personal experience there.  My first piercing was done by a doctor.  I had to let the second set heal over because of the trauma and infection from the gun, then had my uncle (a dentist) do it with a hypodermic needle, and put surgical thread loops in until they healed.  Worked like a charm.  Didn't excite my nickel allergy, and now I wear earrings (14k or SS) all the time.

I also agree about Claire's.  Don't buy earrings there.  You are asking for trouble.

I would not get periced at Claires either.  Mind you I had my nose periced at a Faces stall in the mall.  The only reason I let them do it was it was cause it was a East Indian lady who did it and nose pericing is in there culture and I had seen her do other people before.  She used a gun and I did not feel a thing nor did it bleed.  It was a little sore later so I put sea salt in a shot glass of water and put my nose in that! I will be getting my belly button done this summer at Don and Allen's regular tattoo shop, of which is very clean. Smiley

Hair  Wash day, nothing much else going on.  

Other  Re:  mall piercings...  Hmm, well, I'm sorry to hear you gals had trouble with that but, honestly, I've never had a problem.  My very first ear lobe piercings were done by a doctor (and paid for by my big sis--thanks, sis   Wink   )  when I was 16.  When I was 18 I had my second set of lobe piercings done at none other than the local Wal Mart.  That was waaay back in 1980--I remember distinctly because I was pregnant.   Smiley  Back then, though, it was tough to find good looking *small* earrings that would compliment having two holes in each lobe.  So I let those holes grow closed.  Nowadays, thank goodness, stores sell tons of earrings in graduated sizes, so not a problem.  Then in...gosh, when was it?  Late 80's - early 90's I opted for one secondary hole in the left lobe, giving me a total of three.  Got that one done at Claire's in the local mall.  I've never had a problem with infection, either from the physician piercing or the guns, and I don't suffer from any type of metal allergy.  I'm trying to get this done as cheaply as possible while still maintaining a level of safety, if ya know what I mean.  If I could talk my daughter into doing it I would (as in bringing home a needle from the doctor's office where she works).  But I guess she can't stand the thought of inflicting the slightest amount of pain on her dear old ma.   Cool  I have to wait a few days anyway, to allow the aspirin to work out of my system, so it'll be a while yet before I have this done.  In any case, I appreciate all of the advice, I really do.

Suit yourself, dearie. We were only trying to help. ...
This is what I get for offering unsolicited advice, I suppose. Just ignore us pesky kibitzers... Wink
