Day fifty-one -- Give Me Down To There Hair

Sooo…. 1:30 am is a reasonable hour isn’t it? Because that’s when I got to bed last night. I got side-tracked by a Facebook page that had hundreds of great Muse pictures. I found one that I’m using as my cover picture. It looks like they are all looking down at my profile picture. Awesome!

Me in my twisties

Today I was perusing YouTube watching natural hair videos and I found a couple of tubers that looked like they have similar hair texture to mine, which is cool because the ones I had been following before, their hair is so long and gorgeous that I sometimes despair  that my hair will never be anything like that. I’m kinda cool with that though, because I do pretty fun things with my hair with the colors and the few styling tricks that I know. Oh, and the hair scarves; I like those a lot. I discovered that there are several things that I absolutely MUST add to my arsenal. There’s Curlformers, for when I want big bouncy curls and to stretch my hair without the use of heat. I learned that this curl activator gel that I have is part of a line of products, a few of which I would like to try… Who am I kidding? If I could afford it, I’d try it all. Actually, they are so affordable that I’m sure eventually I will try them all. Curlformers, on the other hand, are expensive as fizzuck. It might take me quite a while to get all I need.  Lastly, I’d like to try this brush called the tangle teaser. It’s supposed to be really great at detangling natural hair. I’ve seen quite a few videos with different hair textures and everyone seems to like it a lot. Some even call it a miracle worker.

For now, I have put my hair up in little twists as a protective style. I think I’ll probably wear it like this for at least a week or so, just to give my hair a bit of a rest. In the meantime, I’ll probably be wearing scarves and hats, or just wear it as is if it’s not too cold out. 

Day Twenty-Three -- You set my soul alight

I didn't go out today. Not because I felt sick or anything though. By the time I would be ready to go, I wouldn't have had much time to stay where I went because I had to go to Kaiser later. Above all, I got kind of sucked into the Benghazi hearings on TV. I don’t know why I was surprised at how many of them are such big, inane jerks. Hilary Clinton rose above it all with such grace, clarity and authority.  

Yesterday I spoke about the Pantone Color Forecast for Spring 2013. I also wanted to remark that ever since Pantone has been brought to my attention, I have been noticing the colors being used in print ads and TV commercials. Just today, I saw a commercial for NutriSystem and I swear they were using at least 5 of the colors in the commercial. I believe I have beads in all the colors so this season’s challenge should be a breeze!

Lastly, (mainly because I’m sleepy and want to go to bed) I have to admit that I am quite crushed that I’m missing another Muse concert. It really sucks because I’m the biggest Muse fan. Seriously. I am an extra couple hundreds of spare dollars away from having a Muse tattoo. That’s how much I love them. The concert dates came earlier than I hoped and I wasn’t able to save up the money to get good seats. Who knew they would start their US tour in Los Angeles? I was banking on the thought that they’d probably start on the east coast. Don’t most bands do that? So now, I have to have pictures from tonight’s concert on my Facebook wall from friend’s that have gone to see them… friends who I didn't even know they were into them. I’m very happy for them but I can’t help but feel devastated that I am missing my most favorite band in the world again. 

I love them so much!
