I wish that lightening my hair was easy/safe.
Filed under: hair care, life lessons, pictures of celebrities, vanity
Looking at pictures of Kristen Stewart with blonde hair has convinced me that I may also need blonde hair. It's one of those things that I'll probably never do, but it's fun to pretend. Now would be the perfect time to radically alter my physical appearance, too, since I'm moving and I won't have to deal with all the surprised/disappointed faces. I'm currently scouring the internet for ways to safely lighten my hair. My conclusion: There aren't many. Surprise, surprise. I haven't given up yet, though. I'm gonna talk to all the hairstylists/colorists that I know and see what they say....
Hair Business and Vacation Purchases

My beach vacation has been pretty fly thus far. I haven't spent much time at the beach (because of the nasty water and nasty tar balls), but our Condo is sufficiently sweet. There's a lazy river; how cool is that?! I've been avoiding shampoo altogether this week and using baking soda in its place. I've been conditioning with Aveda Rosemary Mint Conditioner (and my hair has never looked better): My mom bought me some Time & Again Organics hand cream today at a cute little shop. It was seven dollars, and it smells like a dream:
The...Get outta town, olive oil.
Filed under: hair care, health and beauty, life lessons, natural products, product review
I coated the ends of my hair with olive oil before going to bed three nights ago. I thought that I remembered trying it before, but I must have been wrong because I do not at all remember the greasiness that ensued. I used baking soda the next morning in the shower and thought everything was fine. BUT my hair still looked wet after it was completely dry! I had to put it up while I was at work; it looked that gross. All the shampooing that I had to do to make my hair normal again definitely undid...
Danielle is smart.

Danielle has been urging me to replace my shampoo with baking soda for at least a year now, and I finally tried it out in the shower this morning. Actually, it was this afternoon. I slept in, and I feel pretty good about it. I feel pretty good about my hair too. I put a quarter-sized wad(I wish I could think of a less disgusting word to use) in my palm, mixed it with a little water, massaged it into my scalp for about thirty seconds, rinsed it out, and conditioned my hair as usual. It looks clean, but...
five things
There is something downright debilitating about allowing my hair to grow. I am not cut out for classroom discussions; I am, however, cut out for classroom nodding. The shit town in which I live is slowly suffocating me. Yoga before bed puts me right to sleep. I am taking a class on Graphic Novels, and it is...
a big bad bug leg
I found an insect leg in my hair shortly after waking up on Friday morning. I'm not even entirely sure it was an insect leg. It could've very well been a spider leg. The kind of small creature it belonged to is actually negligible. The point is, finding a detached leg in my hair filled me with a real and undeniable feeling of dread. I starting asking questions like "where is the rest of this bug?" and "why did its leg fall off in my head of all places?" and "did I swallow that little bitch?" and "why am I...
a truly hairy situation
Allow me to preface this entry by saying I firmly believe that all the things we put on our bodies have just as much of an impact on our health and well-being as the things we put in our bodies. For the past two years or so, I had been passionately searching for a shampoo and condioner that satisfied, met, and maybe even exceeded all my expectations. I was actually not asking for much. I just needed something free of parabens(a type of preservative) and sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates(a cleaning agent) that would also make my hair look fabulous. I learned very...
