Life, thrills, and tidbits

My life is like a bat I sleep in the day time and work at night. I work three nights a week at a near by boarding home for the mentally ill. I've been there for ten years and I'm burnt out of that line of work.  I've been looking for a hobby I can make money off of. I think I found it. I'm thinking about a mini orchard a fruit orchard. I know how to make jams, jellies, and can. I think this could work.

Thrills I fixed red French barrette. The fastener was missing and it gave to me by a friend. When I fixed it I added a large barrette before it had a medium. I also bought and more hair items. They had a flexi 8 Lila Rose sale. I also found other bargains.  My hair fork from china arrived I'm glad it took a full month for it to arrive. I thought I was going to have to visit china to find it. I'm happy then it's off to saving money again.

Tidbit sector I still have hair. I'm happy to be decorating my world. I'm going to find more sewing projects. I like to sew currently all I do is hand sewing. I love it I haven't been doing this a year yet until September.  I have an antique sewing machine and I know nothing about it. I'm wanting to fix it and start sewing.

I've been getting ready for the dog days of summer. I'm working on my lawn mower. I'm thrilled about mowing my yard. I love being outside enjoying the sunshine. I just hate mowing the yard it's dusty and dirty.

I'm not here to decorate your world, I'm too busy decorating mine

I was in the mood Sunday to try out my new hair toys as a way to cure boredom on a rainy day. I tried out three different ones. First was my ficcare clip in a cinnamon bun. I loved the hold I had and the easy to use design of the clip. Then I tried my lime hair stick with my cinnamon bun. The hair stick worked like a dream. My hair stick is one I made. The stick was pre made I bought a large quantity off of eBay. I got the ones with a pre drilled hole and bought a $5.00 or less picture hanging kit for the screw eye rings. I had buttons, beads, and ornate things of my own to add. Lastly I tried my light brown plain Lila Rose flexi 8 in a cinnamon bun. I found out my hair is big enough for a large my current medium was very tight holding. I was concerned about my flexi going half ways through my bun that I consulted a dear friend of advice. She said her flexis are like that too and the large I wanted would hold just not as secure. I decided after trying these items to stop at the flexi. I have my three prong forks to try.

 I've been a bit paranoid this week after doing a twisted hair style. The last time I did a twisted hair do I broke off my hair. The difference is I done this one one time. I did the other one that caused damage all the time. I'm going to keep my braided styles. I looked up some neat ones to try.  When I try them I will post pictures on my google+ page as always.

I got a maroon satin bow on a French barrette. I do love it. A girl at work gave it to me she's a long hair too. I'm going to fix it the bar that fastens it is missing. I can fix it. I have a lot of French barrette plain bars. When I get it fixed I will post pictures of it on my google+ page.

I'm thinking about taking up leather working. I want to make leather hair slides. I'm going to look into this hobby. I think I will like it. I can really decorate my world with bling.

My other hobby is going to be my orchard. I'm going to plant a mini fruit orchard. I haven't decided on what I'm going to plant. I'm going to can and make jellies.

A week after my first post

A week after my first post here is the next post. Again I'll ask you nicely to leave nice comments. Rude and mean comments will be ignored.

This week I've been thinking about a make over. I'm thinking about getting my eye brows plucked thin like they did in the 1930's. I love the high arch thin brow. The look is startled and excited. I did buy some new eye make up. I'm going to try out. I'm not going to give away a lot on here. I will post pictures of my new summer look.

I did get some new summer time outfits. I can't wait to wear. I'm so happy. I'm starting my diet. Well it's been week two on it. I have fourteen pounds to go. I want to be at my ideal weight. My weight has been slowly gained over three years. I've finally decided enough is enough.

The blog wouldn't be complete with out my hair. I did buy some more hair toys. Items I use to style my hair with. I love my hair. I bought more forks, flexi 8's, and other toys. I'm going to buy another ten drawer Iris brand wheeled tower. I love it it's great my stuff fits inside it like a dream.

Day 1

This is day one of my blog. I've never blogged before so here goes.

I guess I'll tell you about my hair. I seem to get a lot of comments about it. One it's real. Two I don't use salon products or services on my hair. Three I'm the jacqueline101 on the long hair sites. If you have questions you ask me I will answer them but be polite. No rudeness. I bathe my body more often then weekly this is only pertaining to my hair.

I started my growth journey as I call it three years ago(2012 June) after I had my hair permed at a local salon. My hair was wrecked badly. I ended up trimming it to shoulder length. My hair was bra strap length before the trim. My hair was pony tailed 24/7 only hair do I could do because of the thickness. My care routine was mane n tail shampoo all over then mane n tail conditioner all over and daily monistat. I got the idea for using monistat from a huge thread on a hair growth website. I did go to a salon and have a few trims done. I'd have my hair trimmed once a year inch taken off.

I was so desperate for answers I turned to the internet for help. I'm glad I did I found a great site with a lot of answers. In September of 2012 I joined the internet group. In two months (November) my hair grew to arm pit length.  I used straight monistat on my scalp every day and gained a lot of hair growth. I took better care of my hair I wore up up in buns, daily scalp oiling( argan, coconut, and almond oil mix), and ignored it(benign neglect). I stopped using heat on my hair and ripping brushes through my hair. I use a wide tooth comb only.  My hair care routine was daily monistat, weekly scalp washing mane n tail length mane n tail conditioner. Worn up 25/7: I did straight monistat for three months then water diluted for four months.

I grew out the last bit of perm 6 months(May2013) later by that time my hair was almost bra strap length. This is where I stalled for the longest due to damage. I wore the same hair do tightly done claw clip twist. Then my kitten chewed off my hair( June 2014). I had to grow those areas out. I lightly trimmed(dusted) my hair ends. I used a self trim method feye's self trim method. I changed my routine products. Vo5 passion fruit shampoo and conditioner scalp washing weekly and condition length. Followed by Aussie 3 minute miracle. Three times a week tressemee shine spray. I kept my hair braided it grew some 1/2 inch a month before I was gaining an inch a month. I used this routine until late August 2014: I gave up scalp oiling my hair got where it hated it.

Late June 2014 my hair made it bra strap length healthy and growing good. I grew out my damage from my kitten chewing off my hair and the claw clip breaking it. I never changed my hair care routine. I learned to wear it up away from my kitten.

July 2014 I made it to mid back length it was right at the verge of it. The very ends were there.I still didn't change anything about my hair. I kept my hair away from my kitten.

August 28,2014 is my day of making history. I was at the store buying shampoo, conditioner, and products. I bought Pantene Beautiful Lengths shampoo, conditioner, and Pantene Nature Fusion leave in conditioner. I bought Pantene shine serum also. I loved the results I got so much I bought the last two Nature Fusion leave in conditioner on the shelf. I was sad to find out it was discontinued. I bought another set of the Beautiful Lengths too. I kept my weekly washing routine. I did scalp shampooing length conditioning. I added mane n tail conditioner to my routine and my hair was perfect. It was soft manageable and tangle free. My hair stopped tangling. My whole routine consisted of weekly washing as mentioned above. Mane n tail conditioner, rinse, beautiful lengths conditioner rinse out. Dry hair until damp, add shine serum, then nature fusion leave in conditioner. Damp braid that seemed to make my hair grow. I did this for a month then I added a growth method. I used mint extract, water, oil on my scalp weekly did this October. In November I started caffeine scalp mist I do this weekly on wash day before I add any sort of leave in product.

October 2014 I had a set back my hair was attacked by a kid at the local store with a sucker stick. The kid put a sticky sucker in my hair. I had to trim out the stick. I had to trim out a lot of hair. Then it happened again that time I got it out with Aussie 3 minute miracle. It's a cone loaded conditioner. The slip from the cones got the sucker stick out. That's when I came up with a hair bag. I put my hair in it. It's fashioned after a horses tail bag.
