Happy Tuesday

The weather here in the Pacific Northwest is labile. Cold snaps and now warm with gusty wind. We are going to have some fun weather today. Make sure you have all you need for potential power outages, and stay safe.

Skin Care Take 2 and Henna Color Lab "Wine"

Image
 So, it appears the Cerave day moisturizer is a no go. Zits left and right.  So I will continue with just the daily oil cleansing for about 2 weeks and come back around to something else. More research.  Found this in my internet journey http://www.skincare-addiction.com/  Which appears to be pretty legit.  Looks like quite a few products from Paula's choice are recommended.  http://www.paulaschoice.com/  I am not a big fan of purchasing skin care products that I have to get online, but that may need to change.  I have yet to find a place that sells their stuff locally.   In other news I dyed my hair again, with Henna from Henna color lab in Portland. Love it. http://hennacolorlab.com/  The process is tedious, but only because its henna, and it only too  2 hours. I used the Wine color, and dyed fresh roots over black hair. I like finding  a process that doesn't fry my hair, and I can still continue to get my dye addiction on. 

Oil cleansing method and Coconut

Image
 Our faces, our skin, and how we clean them. Over the last few years, my skin started to break out and I have gone through a few changes.  I have cleaned up my diet, removing a significant source of dairy from my coffee ( I don't pile on the half and half anymore) and that seemed to help. When I wash with just water ( a rinse really)  my face feels dry. So, I am starting the oil cleansing method. Have no idea what I am talking about? I suggest going here ----? http://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction If you don't know about Reddit yet, you should. Its a forum for everyone about everything. Want advice on anything? Or if someone has had the same issue as you and you want to know how it went? Go here. Its also a great place for what is really going on in the world. Its like Facebook for adults, and its where all the awesome comes from and is then distributed to Facebook and such. They have "subreddits" on everything. EVERYTHING.  Anyways. Back to

A little fun for today

Clairol Natural Instincts (Rosewood) And Nail color for Fall

Image
Had an absolute adoration for deep reds right now, inspired by one of my favorite nail color right now by Sin Nail color from Walgreens *Thank you( http://chestersdrawers.blogspot.com/2012/02/brand-day-sinful-colors-1.html) .I decided this was my color for fall and wanted to dye my hair a similar color. So....Pre Dye Pictures..............   And after   A deep cherry, which I found underwhelming, but would you be surprised if I told you I dyed over a previous black?

Tis the season to be....sick.

Image
Ok, so who has a cold, or has had a cold in the last week?  You know, the sore throat that you ignore..........go to work Thursday,   and by Friday Who remembers how miserable it is  WITH drugs on board? So what do you  do? Treat the symptoms, a drink water and ALWAYS drug to sleep. So Thursday it was a sore throat, Friday is what some minor uncomfortable muscle aches that went into congestion, this lead into MORE CONGESTION for Saturday. I have been hard and fast with this stuff around the clock and the twice a day neti pot.----> So, I'm high, congested and Sunday evening lead to both a cough and congestion. Who needs to breath through their nose anyways? Pinter est has offered me quite a bit of distraction as well as some brilliant ideas for continuing the combat, but my motivation is less than stellar after all these drugs.   I mean, really, why am I STILL SICK?

Rejected Princesses and dancing

Image
 I was meandering facebook, like we all do, on a Sunday morning, and I came across an article I found fascinating. NPR wrote about it so it must be cool. Rejected princesses . As in rejected princesses from the disney worl. Woman, who historically are too awful to be on disney. I was ECSTATIC!! I love women. I love history.  I love Disney. In like, a love hate relationship. This is amazing, and I highly recommend it.  Also in the same category of strong women. Under armour is doing the fall line around women of strength.  Being that, I am on a ballet kick, (I start next week)  They used Misty Copeland as the model, and it was exquisite.   I was again excited.  You will be happy to know I found my old missing ballet shoe. So things are looking up. In a flurry of trying to make sure I had all I needed for the upcoming classes, I wandered around here ,which is a ballet store I have often used, 10 years ago when i danced.
