Marble Nail Art

So it took me about 3 hours to get my nails they way I wanted or even to look like they were marbleized.

I can't wait to show them off!

Trying My Hand at Nail Art

Here's my first attempt at marble nail art. Even though I used tape, I clearly made a huge mess all over my finger. Didn't get quite enough blue, but I believe it's from where I placed my finger in the water.

Will post final nail designs.

Hair Washing Lesson Via Text

So my girl hits me up on text about one of my natural posts about co-washing and this is how it went:

Cat: Pheebs I was looking at ur blog. Read the one about the hair loss. What does co-wash mean?

Me: Washing your hair using conditioner only. I haven't used a shampoo in over a year it strips the hair and leaves it worse than with it. Or I use a hair cleanser.

Cat: Ohhhhh ok. We dont use shampoo either. Been a few years. But didnt know there was a term for that. Btw sometimes I lose a lot of hair...and I've been natural since 25! Esp lose more when I wear it curly.

Me: Me too!! The curliest I wear it the more I lose. I try to do a dry wash with a water bottle and my conditioner to detangle and sometimes that helps. Don't always have time to do that though.

Cat: I dont know the dry wash thing, you have to teach me.

Me: Before you want to wash your hair put your hair in about 4 sections. Take one section and saturate with water from a spray bottle. Add your conditioner to your scalp and work it through. Use a wide tooth comb or a big tooth brush and go from end to root. Takes time. When I do this I usually tie my head up and do a deep condition for a day of two. Then my hair is tangle free and super clean. Day like today would be perfect. If not you tie it up in a plastic cap with a sexy scarf over t and no one is the wiser. Lol

Cat: lol

There you have it - co-washing, set detangling, and deep conditioning 101!

No Hurt Feelings

Link just woke up from a nap and came directly to my room where I scooped him up to cuddle.

Link: can I go play now?
Me: but don't you want to cuddle with mommy for a lil bit
Link: I do but I don't.
I proceed to tickle him.
Link: Mommy can you please stop tickling me, I really want to go play.
Me: oh, alright. Make sure you put your slippers on.
Link: sure.
He's gone no more than 30 seconds when I hear him running back to the room.
Link: I changed my mind. I will cuddle with you for a lil bit.
Me: But I thought you wanted to okay?
Link: I do but I'd rather not hurt your feelings more because I love you!

I kissed him a million times and told him it was okay to go a d play!

I love Saturday afternoons with the Linkster!!!

Snow-flation!!

Did this old man just ring my doorbell to wake me up on a blizzard Saturday at 7:30am to ask me to shovel my driveway for $100?!?!?!

What happened to the teenagers running around offering to do shovel a driveway for $20?!?! Then he tried to hustle me done to $85!

My back is completely shot and I couldn't shovel the driveway if I wanted to, but I'd rather wait for the spring thaw than pay $100!!!
