It’s Sunday afternoon and I’m wearing my heat cap with the last of my Kiehl’s Lecithin and Coconut Enriched Hair Masque with Panthenol that I love so much. Will have to order more. I washed my hair yesterday with one of my favorite shampoos and conditioners, Neutrogena Triple Moisture, but I must’ve put on too much of the Triple Moisture Sheer Hydrating Leave-In because my hair was quite limp when it dried. (I put it on top of a very light coating of jojoba and shea butter leave-in). The good thing was that there were no frizzies at all, but I guess that was because it was so weighed down with the leave-in. Sooooo, I had to wash again today. I used Nature's Gate Rainwater Herbal Baby Shampoo that I like a lot. I’ve not washed two days in a row in a very long time.
I’ve also got AO’s Sea Buckthorn & Cucumber with Ester-C Mask on my face. I look a fright and I’m just glad Mike is out running errands. He laughs when he sees me like this, and doesn’t care, but I prefer to do my “girl things” in hiding…
This mask looks like I have baby poop all over my face.
I took some pictures this afternoon and will try to post them tomorrow. I wanted to add my cinnamon bun to the cinnamon bun thread, and I also took a shot of my figure 8 bun, which always looks a little different from everyone else’s. I like it though.
I’ve been doing some reading on From Nature with Love and Mountain Rose Herbs and taking inventory of all the oils, butters and herbs I have on hand and now want to do some shopping. I’ve been re-reading “Absolute Beauty – Radiant Skin and Inner Harmony through the Ancient Secrets of Ayurveda” and want to try some new things for skin cleaning, “feeding” and moisturizing mentioned in the book. I also want to try some of the hair herbs that Fox, Leia, Nitsa and Valerie have been using, but will have to do a hair strand test (thanks, Leia) to see if they darken my hair, as I’ve read they sometimes do. I wonder if there are any blondes using these herbs…
My hair is back to 30” and I’m excited about that! Next is waist, which is about 32” on me. I don’t think I’ve ever had it that long. I’m anxious to see if my ends start to thin out as my hair gets longer.
Okay, it’s time to get this stuff off my face out outa my hair.
