*la-la-la-la* I did henna on my feet last night for Sunday and I'm going to take it off in about 20 minutes. I hope it turns out pretty!

Rehearsal was kinda grueling last night, did have some fun w/choreographing "Western People Funny", I hope I can remember the dance again!

This afternoon I meet with my Naturopath again for the second half of my intake interview. I think she will help me a great deal and I'm very optimistic and happy about that!

I cannot find anyone around here who knows what cassia is or where to get it. I'm considering doing a cellophane instead. I've used them in the past and its great on my hair. We'll see...

No rehearsal tonight, sorry but I'm happy to have the night off!!! Getting excited for my upcoming birthday. I get paid an hour for having a birthday, and will eat Dim Sum (one of my favorite things in the whole world) and I can't wait to see what my presents are!!!

I'd wondered about cellophane in the past. I was afraid to use it because I thought it wouldn't allow moisture to get to my hair and would be drying.

LD, hee hee. I bet you were shocked!

The cellophane is conditioning and smooths the cuticle. It washes out gradually. I never had it be drying to my hair.

Curlgirl64, that's the first place I looked but it seems to me that her Cassia is mixed w/stuff that would turn my hair yellow.

I picked up a box of Light Mountain Natural hair color & conditioner Neutral. Ingredients are Neutral Henna (Cassia auriculata and Lawsonia inermis). Well, I got home and looked it up and am confused. Lawsonia inermis is henna henna-the red kind. I did find Cassia auriculata, but senna auriculata. I'm thinking about returning it. It says on the box that this is just conditioning and will not change my hair color.

Ack! What to do???

Curlgirl64, I was slightly mistaken. Apparently, Cassia does deposit a bit of gold color. I read so many things I think I got my wires crossed, but that often Cassia is mixed w/rhubarb root and that's what causes the brilliant yellow. Guess what?? Today in my mailbox I got a newsletter from Henna Caravan. I usually get all of my mendhi henna from them and they're starting to carry hair stuff and they've got the Cassia I've been looking for!!! Yippeee!!! Now I just have to wait until I can order some.

So, about my birthday:
yoga class was big, 23 students. They all sang "Happy Birthday" to me, I blushed.
Dim Sum was suuuuuper yummy! There were 7 of us at the table, one of my students gave me an awesome card.
Got grocery's from LeeLee supermarket-a full Asian market, approx. the size of a Wal Mart.
Took a nap, after all that Dim Sum
My parents came over to the house and we grilled burgers, sausage and chicken.
I opened my presents, I got 3 pairs of fuzzy pj's, a real pashmina, and some $$$$ for my upcoming trip to Singapore.

I wish I could stay in bed all day and just laze around. I don't have rehearsal tonight or tomorrow night. I do have a lot of appointments this week, so at least I'll be able to sleep in a bit.

Thanks, Isabeau and MA!

Isabeau, I love your new avatar!! I think Pashmina is a brand, they're silk and cotton wraps. I have several wraps that are all cotton, hence not real Pashmina.

I did make onigiri on Monday and they turned out great! I hope to make some more today-they're perfect to take to rehearsal.

I've ordered some Cassia Obavata, and asked my fancy hairdo lady to apply it and she will. Yay!

I have a scalp massage today!

Yesterday I had to have blood drawn for my naturopath and I almost passed out. That's never happened to me before, but I guess its pretty common. That fasting for 12 hours and the room being hot made it difficult.

My henna turned out really nice, took pics and will get around to posting them hopefully Friday.

Thank goodness rehearsals are finally on the upswing. We're 3 weeks in and Wednesday night was rock bottom!

I got my cassia today, so I'm going to get an appointment to have it applied- hopefully tomorrow!!!

I had some MFR work today and my left leg feels awesome. Kneeling on the hard wood floor for 30 mins.+ had my leg messed up!

One of the girls in the cast has waist length black hair. I taught her how to finger comb and rope braid last night. I love being able to share long hair care w/people!

Today I'm starting a new project w/my hubby. I'm making a relaxation/meditation CD. Today's our first session, so I'm not expecting much...but its a start!!

I need a nap-laters!

Well, I never got my nap and I had 1-1/2 cokes at dinner so now I'm wide awake. Shocked

Hubby & I are going to a Super Bowl party Sunday so I did some henna on his left hand (he only wanted me to do the palm of one hand-I'm happy he let me do it at all) and both sides of my right hand. I'm typing this w/my left hand 'cause my right hand is in a sock! Please excuse any spelling errors I miss!!!

The recording went awesome. I didn't really have a game plan going in and this first track turned out great.

I'm thinking about making a crazy Cardinals hair decoration-will check the craft store for small bird.

The meds from my naturopath are working well and I'm looking forward to my blood test results to feel even better.

Well, this typing w/one hand is annoying so I'll sign off-I have dance class @ 9:30AM so I gonna try and get some sleep.

Last night I tried the mousse, it did make my hair darker but not dark enough. I have a lot of hair so I didn't get it all through, I'll try a different method tonight. The color did completely wash out which is good!

I did another spray tan session-extra dark. I hope it turns out good. I have to wait until 5:30PM to wash it off and then get my hiney to rehearsal.

Nap time!
