Li Lash update...

Li Lash So it's been about six weeks since I started my Li Lash experiment.  I can't say that I've noticed so much more growth.  I'll be honest, in the six weeks I have missed about 8 days.  I'm not sure if this is reason that I'm still not noticing anything but...

Some nights I feel like my eyes get really red and really dry.  Other times I am overcome with an itch that is pretty intense.  I will also say, that I am pregnant, so maybe that has something do with its efficacy?  I'm not too sure...

I have been putting Li Lash on my eyebrows as well.  I haven't noticed if they are darker or fuller.  They don't itch like my eyeballs though....  I guess all in all I notice a BIT of a difference but not enough to shout it from the roof tops.  My sales rep did tell me that for some people they see results in two weeks and others it takes two months.  I'll let the images do the talking.

**I have no mascara on.  This way you can really see for yourself.**

I'll be back with another update in six weeks!

Peace

A poem

The sun was warm but the wind was chill. You know how it is with an April day When the sun is out and the wind is still, You're one month on in the middle of May. But if you so much as dare to speak, A cloud comes over the sunlit arch, A wind comes off a frozen peak, And you're two months back in the middle of March.

Robert Frost (1874–1963) Two Tramps in Mud Time (1936)

The weather has got me down.  I'm not sure if the end is even near... March, be good to us...

That's the fresh perspective...

RIVER

It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

But it don't snow here It stays pretty green I'm going to make a lot of money Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby cry

He tried hard to help me You know, he put me at ease And he loved me so naughty Made me weak in the knees Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on

I'm so hard to handle I'm selfish and I'm sad Now I've gone and lost the best baby That I ever had I wish I had a river I could skate away on

Oh, I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on I made my baby say goodbye

It's coming on Christmas They're cutting down trees They're putting up reindeer And singing songs of joy and peace I wish I had a river I could skate away on

-Joni Mitchell

One of my fave Christmas songs.  Never really realized how good it was till recently.  That's the fresh perspective...

MUSIC 2013 

I watched the MTV VMAs last night and was blown away!  Maybe it's because I'm not that hooked into 'the scene'.  Got me thinking about the state of music today.   2013 is a long time away from the 90's jams I was rocking to in my youth.  I like music that makes me want to dance and I love lyrics that have a little more meaning than 'my humps'.**  (sorry to all the fergie fans)

I've been lucky enough to have been to plenty concerts.  My husband doesn't bat an eye when I turn up the stereo in our home to full blast.  I watched the performances and realized that not much has changed.  Sex (blurred lines), objectivity of women (we can't stop) and discrimination (same love) are still the main topics of many songs that we here today.  In the 90's there were so many songs that did the same thing, but why does it seem worse now?

Did you watch the VMA's?  Do you agree that musicians/music seem to be raunchier than ever before?

Peace

** i can't say that i've never danced to songs with trashy lyrics. i can't.

Pinteresting...

Any of you on Pinterest?  It's another one of the many types of social media applications for your smart phone, lap/desk top, or tablet.  A place where you can place all your visual ideas, conquests, or wishes.  Search one thing, many things, and when you think that you've come up with something new? Nope.  It's been done. At least ten times...

I often wonder what will become of us in ten years?  What new aspect will the media bring upon us then?  What will we do when nothing is new anymore?  What type of services will we be able to use to expose each other with after the days of 'tweeting', 'gramming', and 'liking' are gone?  Will it even ever end??

We were chatting in the staff room a while back and the topic of our convo was how to gain inspiration.  Inspiration for our job specifically.  Hairstyling can be so broad and then yet so specific, and at times I think many stylists can feel like they're doing the same thing over and over again.

I give you Pinterest! Our boards cover all things fashion and beauty related.  If you're feeling like you are in a hair rut or not to sure what your next appointment should be booked for?  Check out Pinterest and see if anything there juggles your creativity.  I guess this is the new way to get inspired.  The internet will always keep us wanting more and finding more.

I love looking at hair and I pay attention to the styling of images.  The hair and styling of the images I've posted inspire me to be more natural and to embrace the beauty that we are born with. (obviously these women are practically models but who cares?...)  These women all possess a natural look that I'm drawn to and thanks to the internet, I will never really need a muse... :)

Peace

What's Going On

[playlist tracks="3837"]

  Mother, mother There's too many of you crying Brother, brother, brother There's far too many of you dying You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today - Ya

Father, father We don't need to escalate You see, war is not the answer For only love can conquer hate You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today

Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me, so you can see Oh, what's going on What's going on Ya, what's going on Ah, what's going on

In the mean time Right on, baby Right on Right on

Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong Oh, but who are they to judge us Simply because our hair is long Oh, you know we've got to find a way To bring some understanding here today Oh

Picket lines and picket signs Don't punish me with brutality Talk to me So you can see What's going on Ya, what's going on Tell me what's going on I'll tell you what's going on - Uh Right on baby Right on baby
