I've had a depressing month, and I'm so glad to have a reprieve from it all. I was excruciatingly ill the past week; I had some sort of stomach virus from drinking unclean water. There was a contamination, and because I brush my teeth with tap water, I got violently sick, as well as a bunch of other people. It was constant nausea, stomach ache, fever, headache, upset stomach, and complete loss of appetite. I lost 2 kgs! I'm down to 46.2 kgs now (I think that's something like 101.6 lbs). It's still really hard to eat, because my stomach shrinks easily, so I'm having to build everything up again. PLUS, I had my period on top of that, so I had stomach cramps, lower backache, and all the rest of the grossness that goes along with that. Whew! But it's finally over!
I have a 9-day break, so I'm taking the first couple of days lightly, relaxing and recovering. Then I'm going to work really hard this week and catch up on all the work I missed. I still went to school when I was sick, but I didn't do my work properly and missed out on a lot of assignments that I usually do in advance, so I'll have to do all of that.
My
hair on the other hand is doing wonderfully. It's getting really long, and right now it's CLEAN and in really pretty spiral curls because it was really humid today. Yesterday I oiled it with lavender oil and bhringraj oil, then put on a herbal mixture (1 tbsp each of shikakai, amla, aritha, sandalwood, bhringraj, and "henna conditioner") and left it overnight, before rinsing this morning. Then I washed my scalp with the Body Shop honey shampoo. It's still drying, and it is feeling great
.
Alright, off to catch up on the other long hair sites!
Love,
