I had an awesome day at the Festival on Saturday.  I did a super easy twist secured with a giant metal U shaped hairpin and decorated it with a feather hairclip that I bought earlier in the season.

Then...about 4:30pm the headache came on, dragged on until I threw up and continued for several hours after that.  *sigh*

I didn't make it on Sunday.  Cry

Went to my Naturopath today and was diagnosed as Sun Sensitive.  Too much sun gives me sunstroke-massive headache, nausea, vomiting.  I got some medicine for it and really hope I can finish out the season w/o getting sick again.  It has happened every time its a sunny day.  I guess it was really lucky that we had so much rain and quite a few overcast days or I'd have missed even more days.  Of course, I might have gotten diagnosed sooner if it had been sunnier.

I plan on getting my hair braided by the twisted sisters this weekend!  This weekend's theme is Arabian Knights.  I wanted to do some henna on my hands but I don't think it will get here in time.  Maybe lots of eyeliner and some bindis instead?

Saturday I bought a glass bodice cooler.  Its very pretty and unfortunately has a hole in the bottom.   Roll Eyes
I will be getting that fixed quickly-we're going to be in the mid to high 70's through the end of the season.

I'm feeling very optimistic now that I've got my diagnosis and medicine.  Woo hoo!

Glad you had a blast until 4:30,crappy that you were sick and had one of  those nightmarish headaches!  I have total sympathy and empathy for you!  No one should suffer with those things!

That's happend to me too.  The headaches, nausia, vomiting.  It only happens when I'm in the sun, but everytime I go to the doctor for it, they call it a stomach virus.  No meds are prescribed, I just have to hydrate with clear liquids and eat clear foods like soup. Undecided

Glad you're feeling better! Smiley

Curlgirl64: thanks for your empathy.  I hope I won't have any more trouble with it!

La Diosa:  Nice to hear from you!  Sorry you also suffer with this.  I think I got more help by going to my Naturopath.  I could only eat saltines, bananas, applesauce, yogurt and 7-Up.  Blech.  Now  I hope this medicine will prevent the sunstroke.  I was instructed to take it at cast call (9AM) as a preventative and then as needed if I feel the symptoms coming on.  My early symptom is that food looses its taste and I also loose my appetite, followed by the headache, etc.
Thanks, I'm glad to be feeling better, too!

Saturday at Faire was 70 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.  I grabbed the wrong remedy on the way out, so called hubby and he got it to me.  I must have dosed at least 5 times and my symptoms were much improved, but not eliminated as I had a headache in the evening.  Today I chose to stay home with the idea that I'll get more of the medicine in my body before it really does the job and I don't want to make myself more sick.  Add wind to the sun sensitivity and you get a really sick Sakina.
Yesterday I wore my tall hat from Tall Toad.  I did a headband lace braid, brushed the rest of my hair out and it looked pretty long.  I am definitely at BSL,  and very close to being past it-almost to the bottom of the strap.  Woo hoo!  Next stop: waist length!!!

Thank you, thank you, Trisha!!  It seems like it took forever, and now that I'm here it feels like "what was the big deal".  Didn't expect that!  Feeling impatient for it to be longer is still a familiar feeling.

Hey! Congrats on BSL. Cheesy I remember what a milestone that was. Seemed like it took forever to get there.

Thanks, Drear and Angel.  Now I'm noticing its getting caught in things more-my armpit and bra hooks.

I'm feeling a bit sick right now-I drank a latte that wasn't made with non-fat milk.  Blech.

I'm currently favoring softer styling products, and am surprised at how much definition I'm getting from them.  Today, after using DevaCurl No Poo and One Condition I used Ojon Animated Styling Cream before plopping and then DevaCurl Mirror Curls after.  My waves are super soft with soft definition.  Yay!

I avoid the sun sickness by moving to a place with no sun. But I suppose that's not the solution for everybody, eh?  Smiley

Hope you start feeling better soon!

And congrats on reaching BSL!

KNS: that's definitely not the solution for me!!
Thanks!

Well, Festival is over and I still missed on Sunday.  The meds didn't keep me from getting ill, I just didn't get as sick.  Oh, well.  Saturday I did get my hair braided by the Twisted Sisters, I'll post the pic eventually.  I sang an aria for the King and Queen also on Saturday and it was very well received.  I promised myself I'd do that sometime during the season and so mission accomplished!

Now its time to start planning my trip to France.  I've decided to go at the end of summer, beginning of fall instead of the spring when all of the tourists will be there, or summer when all of the locals go on vacation.  Also this gives me more time to brush up on my language skills.

Thanks, Angel. 

Woke up w/a headache this morning.  I think its the weather combined with me watching movies all day yesterday.  I love movies.

I've got a trim coming up in a couple of weeks.  Trying to stretch it to 3-1/2 months and see if it works.  4 months is a bit too long since I have have some layering.

Ugh, I'm gong to go lay down and put some ice on my face.
