Cleaning House


Well, dusting to be exact. This is a term used when trimming ends. It is also known as a "seek and destroy" mission on split ends. I remember doing this while sitting in class in high school. I would take my arts & crafts scissors and snip away at my ends. Yes, I still managed to pass my classes *smile*. Nowadays, I simply trim all of my ends every two months or as needed. Since I've been using a better hair regimen, I haven't had to trim as much. However, there are still many split ends lurking around. It's time to slow them down and eventually put and end to the madness. No pun intended ;)

My ends felt my wrath just yesterday when I randomly picked up shears and went to town. I like razor straight edges but I always feel like I missed a few here and there. Dusting, makes it easier for me to get to the down and dirty split ends. The kind that will work its way up to the roots if they are not maintained. I've noticed my hair looking and feeling fuller than it has in the past 5 months! I will be sure to keep up with these missions just so I can see what "commercial hair" feels like =)

Until next time....

Keeping Hope Alive

Etsy Buy Handmade Royale As many of you may know, I have been trying to sell my jeweled creations for the past few months. So far, I have not been having much luck although I have been doing almost everything I read in the Etsy articles on success. There have been endless compliments on my work but no buyers. I can't seem to figure out why that is. Marketing to friends, family and social sites is ok but I need something that will draw in a crowd. Craft fairs perhaps? So far, the Brooklyn Indie Market is looking more appealing everyday. My mom and I stopped by there last Saturday to check out the "goings-ons". Of course I ended up going home with a few handmade items like a great pair of blue earrings made by Flare, white amber oil that I adore by Off The Mat , and a necklace for my mom by the very talented KnitKnit . Shopping in the small flea market made me think it's time to get out there and hustle. I'm going to ask a few crafty friends if they will be interes...

Braided out and loving it!

(Click on Heenara image for prices and info). Product Description Heenara Hair Wash is a natural shampoo for hair wash and hair care. Being free from synthetic chemicals, this shampoo powder is a perfect hair conditioner and tonic. Highly recommended for silky smooth hair. Heenara Hair Herbal Hair Wash advantages: - Natural shampoo and conditioner for hair - Effective hair conditioner and tonic - Removes minor eruptions over scalp - Keeps hair clean and smooth A month after purchasing Heenara, I decided to give it a try. I followed the directions (mix desired amount with water to make a thick paste) and applied it from roots to tips. I wrapped my ends into 2 buns and let it sit for 10 mins (instructions state 5 minutes but I was a little side tracked). After rinsing thoroughly and I mean THOROUGHLY (there are little grits of herbs in the powder wash), I saturated my hair with my concoction of a conditioner (alma, Nyle and olive oils, Pantene Restoration deep conditioner and raw honey)...

Philippe Tournaire

In the midst of a failing economy, I have somehow managed to get enough courage to internet shop again. For the past 4 months, I have been avoiding sites like Ebay, ASOS, Target (especially since the designer series is the greatest thing since sliced bread), and so on and so forth. Obviously from my previous post, I have failed at doing that. By the way, the dress I wanted is sold out. I'm sure I'll find another one. *Sigh* Anywho.... Today I stopped by The beading Gem's Journal to see what new jewelry making tips they had to offer. I came across one of the most brilliant jewelry designers I've ever seen. Philippe Tournaire gives his audience the chance to wear their dream house so they can envision their goal every day. I absolutely LOVE the cathedral ring....being royale and all ;) Here are a few of my other favourites. I find most of his work to be genius and stunning with excellent craftsmanship, but the Architecture collection by far takes the cake. These are tru...
