hair products and other important things

First of all,
how do you like my new blog look?
Mandi over at The Journey Continues
did it as part of her fundraiser!!
Thanks, Mandi!

So,
we have 9 more days until we leave!
And in an attempt to give Lucy
some sort of idea of *time* we made a paper
chain as a count-down to when we leave.
Then I have one for when we are gone,
to count-down until we return.
Today will be the first day that we remove a link,
and I'm hoping it clicks in her little brain
what it's all about
cause as of last night, just after we made it,
she was telling everyone who would listen
that Mommy and Daddy are taking
it to Ch*na to give to Shu Li.
Oh dear.

Yesterday afternoon I set out to pour
all of my hair potions into little bottles to pack.
Well,
I got side-tracked and decided to take pics
of my hair products to share with you.
(Only because someone asked a while back)

So, here goes...

Color Care shampoo and conditioner.
And yes, I always buy in gallon sizes.
It's way cheaper that way.

My favorite gel is M*trix Gelee', a great smoothing
serum is Silk Therapy by Bi*silk.
And THE BEST hairspray ever, is
R*dken's Forceful 23.

Here is my arsenal of hair brushes.
All dirty, all loaded with hair.
They are my PERSONAL hair brushes,
so don't worry...I won't use them on you
in this condition.
And yes, the yellow brush has been
chewed on by a dog...not sure which dog
because I've had that gem since I was about 14.
No kidding.

And lastly,
my precious flat iron.
It is VERY dirty from all the hair
products that have built-up on it.
I didn't realize just how dirty it was until
I decided to photograph it.
It is a CHI and is quite expensive but
worth every last penny.
If I'm ever deserted on an island,
this will be my companion of choice.

**As a long-time hair stylist and
the daughter of a barber,
I never, EVER buy anything but professional
products...anything less would go against
everything I believe in.
Ok, that's a bit extreme, but you get the idea.
I can buy them wholesale, so who can blame me?

I never got any of these items packed
or even put into little bottles,
just so you know.

There you go...
another deep and insightful post that will
no doubt, help you grow spiritually.

Golly, I need to get my act together.
