Three.Sixty.Five to healthy hair


Three hundred and sixty five days
A big commitment to healthier hair
I dont know why I would do this but it seemed like something I could tackle head-on.
I've been following Annelise over at Bye Bye Beehive for a while and she has this itsy bitsy tiny little challenge where she goes 365 days with NO styling products, dye's, cuts, teasing the whole nine yards. You get the idea right!? CRAZY is what I thought and now I decided to do the same but with some minor changes. Now let's give credit where credit is due to the person that came up this this idea to begin with. She got the idea from Kelli formerly at Stopshop. You know the girl who went a whole year without shopping. Yeah, that's not happening. I'll be headding the route Annelise at Bye Bye Beehive did. One year, 365 days with no hairsprays, mouse, dryers, dye's and every other possible hair product you can think of. Why? It's simple really, Ever since the ripe old age of 12 when I got my first two stripes of beach blonde highlights (proud moment for me) I've been dying and frying my hair and let's just say my hair has seen better days. I have been pretty much every color in the book red, all shades of brown and blonde, black (not my favorite) and plum/purpleish. That's not including highlights. Then, there's the curling irons and flat irons and hairdryers. I mean, I went 2-3 years with straight hair ONLY because I HATED my curly hair (teen issues). On top of that I never did treatments that help keep your hair healthy. Moving along. I changed the rules to apply to my hair type.
RULES
  • 365 day project, begins Sunday, January 1, 2012 and ends Monday, December 31, 2013.
  • I will begin the challenge with a trim and photo.
  • I won't color beforehand. The goal is for healthier, longer and more manageable hair.
  • NO highlights or hair dye's.
  • NO hair cuts. Trims only to keep the ends healthy.
  • Absolutely NO teasing, ratting or back-combing. I don't do this to begin with but just incase it's written here.
  • NO heating tools: blow dryers, straighteners, curling irons, hot rollers, etc.
  • NO styling products: mousse, gel, pomade, serums, foams, and hairspray UNLESS 100% ALL NATURAL styling products.
(that's my ONLY EXCEPTION because I do have really curly hair and it would be pretty impossible to go without anything so I kept it at all natural ingedients. I will post the products/ingredients so you know I'm not lying about it being earth friendly or whatever you want to call it.)

It's fair. It's simple. And I'm heading into this head strong! I'm not even sure if that made sense.

Wish Me luck!
Any advice is more than welcomed =)

Bring it on




Found this challenge via & this is what she said. Thought it would be really fun to participate even though I only have a basic digital camera. I'm already 2 days behind but I'll post the first 3 days tomorrow morning! PS. I'm also participating in a photo a day for 365 days challenge!!! I'll post those up too. How exciting to start the year participating in fun projects =)

Goodbye 2011

This past year was very laid back! Getting my life back in control and hopefully the New Year brings lots of adventures for myself and little miss to enjoy.










It's OK Thursday



This is the last Link up for 2011 next time we'll be in the NEW YEAR!!! WOOHOOOO =)


It's OK

to eat leftovers practically all week... hey we just ran out on Wednesday!!!

to wish it was snowing instead of raining!! Stupid east coast weather won't make up it's mind

to be thinking/planning little miss 4th birthday even though it's 2 months away. There's no such thing as being overly prepared.

to be excited for the NEW YEAR to ring in!!!

to be excited for celebrating  a friends birthday this weekend.

start planning a trip to NYC in January for a weekend!!! =) SCORE. If you guys know of any places to stay at LET ME KNOW!!! I've never been there before...

to go to sleep with 2 plus blankets because no matter what you do it feels like your house is below zero or maybe i just don't agree with the cold. it would be awesome if we can have winter without the cold and snow without the cold!!!!

Hope you all have an amazing New Year Eve plans!!!

Oh Charlie.

I've realized that I don't have a single post on our family dog. So, here's his story.
We adopted Charlie from my brothers childhood friend because his other dogs didn't accept him. Poor thing, Charlie stayed at a friends house until we my brother came home one day with him and noboday could say no after spending a few hour with him!!! He was a few weeks old when we took him in but I don't have any photos of him that young. He is 4 years old as of October.
FOr those wh omight ask he is an albino Doberman. We didn't cut his ears we like it just as it is!

Say Hi to Charlie!
