World Inverted

the world turned upside down, bdig

Another whirlwind has scattered the fields around me -- and oh, how the world has realigned.

(Note to self: Regular posts keep folks updated. Info dumps are overwhelming, though entertaining.)

Updates in rapid form:

• Launched into second semester of the publishing certificate. Tackling: Business of Book Publishing, Copy editing, and Publicity. Also tackling: Novel I (aka. I will have no free time for tomfoolery, alas).
• Visited New Orleans, LA ( Jan. 27 - 30, 2011). Dad had business meetings, and I stowed away in luggage compartment. Ample tales to tell, no doubt.
• Went on -- wait for it -- A FIRST DATE. *Gasp and shock* True. I met someone from PoF, and we had an excellent time. Am hoping there will be a second date soon, but will focus on playing it cool.
• Discovered (half an hour ago!) I am attending an internship interview this Friday. Again, am focusing on playing it cool and breathing... always breathing... calm and breathing...

Apologies for the teaser post -- I have a test tomorrow, and I have a mini assignment due on Thursday which I need to get started on . Fie.

More to follow, kids.

Primary kids

I love this picture of the kids we've taught over the past two years.  I'm excited to add another group of kids to this group.  Hopefully, we can keep teaching the 8-year-olds in Primary FOREVER!!!!

The Bigger the Hair, the Closer to God

As a true Southern girl I'm always searching for new and better ways to make my hair as big as Miss Texas. You know the saying, "Welcome to the South: the only thing bigger than our standards is our hair"... well, I couldn't agree more. Here's my strategies:

Big Sexy Hair Shampoo and Conditioner. I buy this at Ulta when they have buy 2 get 2 free, usually in the summer. It ends up being cheaper than drug store brands and the liter bottles last me all year.

Velcro Rollers. Gracie Beth tweeted the other day that she uses hers while her hair is still wet. This cuts back on heat and styling time. Genius!

Now, if you're in a rush and need to dry your hair, I recommend using The Marilyn Brush from Ulta. The hourglass shape creates more of an "S wave" which lifts hair from the roots and flips out at the ends. It doesn't matter if you use the best volumizing shampoo in the world, the trick is how you style it when you are drying. This 100% boar hair bristle brush with do the trick. Trust me, there's a reason it's been featured in In Style, Shape and Lucky Magazine.

Freeze it hair spray. The grand daddy of 'em all. Original formula only, found at Wal-Mart. I spray this on my hair before I style while it's still wet, in my roots when teasing and also all-over my hair after I'm finished.

Rat tooth comb to tease, tease, tease! (Couldn't they have come up with any other name than "rat tail?" Eww! Also, only tease in one direction, not up and down.)

If you're really feeling crazy, hot rollers to the trick too. Bigger rollers create more volume, smaller rollers create more curl. I recommended having a set with both.

What's your secret to big hair?
