Years Ago

I'd never really thought about hair loss products for men until my dad decided years ago that he wanted to cover a bald spot. I don't know what made him decide to cover it, but I do remember he bought this can of powder spray to match the color of his hair. And I remember that stuff ended up all over the place, on his pillow, the couch, chair, etc. It was a temp fix and a big mess.

That was years ago however and since then, I'm sure products have changed, at least I certainly hope so!

Missing Hair Products

After doing a little cleaning last night I'm a bit irked. I found that 3 of my hair tools are now missing. People are in and out of this house very seldom, so I have a good idea of where they walked off to. It's happened in the past, so it certainly would not be a first.

The only problem is, confronting that person may cause more problems than we really need right now. I think that's why the hubby kept asking, are you sure you just didn't move them. I'm very sure, but to reassure him, I'll be checking the rest of the house in case someone else moved them. I'd planned on doing that in the first place. And it might not be such a big loss, but the hair iron was a top of the line hair iron and if those items were stolen, there's no telling what else will come up missing next. sigh.

You're Fired!!!!

Well, I wish I could say that to my internet's technical support, but damned my luck that I can't!!! Let me back my day up first.

It all started with my 5 kids losing their minds and driving me wild. I think they were cooped up in the house too long, so I suggested to my fiance that we get out with the kids and walk downtown since we can't fit 7 of us in the truck.

While downtown, we managed lunch at big cheese pizza and then stopped by the snow cone shop for a treat. Strawberry cheesecake snow cones. Yum!!! So then my ex-husband called to let me know he was in town to pick up the kids. After a brief chat with him and his fiance, they were off and so was my fiance... -To the pet shop to get a rat...

While my fiance was at the pet shop, I decided to tackle the nasty basement that had left us with a moldy smell after rising through the ac vents. Now is the time I wish I had a camera for before and after photos. I started with a very black nasty floor. We already knew there was dog hair on the floor from the previous owner, but little did we know (really, we shouldn't have been surprised) there was dog crap as well. Apparently the dude left his dog down in the basement for long periods of time! NASTY!!!! So after scrubbing a corner until it was white (I was impressed!), my fiance comes home and tells me to take a break from cleaning.

So I wander upstairs and notice this big taped up box on the kitchen table. At first I was thinking he bought out the pet store and wanted to brag about it! LOL His daughter was thinking he had another snake. LOL He opens the box and pulls out two kittens. One is gray and one is a fluffy black tiger stripe. Apparently he couldn't resist the free kitties that the pet shop was offering. hehe

Soon after we made a break for wal-mart to pick up some groceries and supplies to make some wedding halos. After that, it was back to the house to have dinner and watch a movie.

After dinner, I decided to submit what articles I had written to my boss for payment next week. When I tried to log online, the wireless router showed connected, but I wasn't able to connect to the web or anything else for that matter. After resetting my cable modem and router and finding that it still wasn't working, I called my cable provider. Their diagnosis was the router wasn't working properly. So, they give me a number to call the company for the router. I called them and learned there's nothing wrong with the router. After much bitching and frustration, my fiance finally gets fed up and takes a peek (well somewhat) at the problem. He tells me what cords to move around and low and behold I am online again! And sooo here I am!!!

Whew what a day! To top it off I was able to save myself about $50 on having my wedding dress dry cleaned. There was some makeup stains on the dress that I knew would need cleaned when I purchased the dress. Rather than spending the hefty price for dry cleaning, I decided to do a little research on what might remove the stains. Now it was a big risk and I wouldn't recommend it, if you're too afraid of the results.... Now if you're going by the exact directions on the product and it's uses, then I absolutely recommend the stuff!

I discovered that a product called Oxyclean might very well be a lifesaver for my dress. The only drawback was, it warns not to use it on my dress's fabric. Well, as damned and determined as I was, I decided what the heck and went for it at about $3.00 for a small container of the stuff. I dropped my wedding dress in the washer and started filling it with hot water. Then I added about 5 scoops of the Oxyclean to the water. After the washer filled, I stopped it and let it set for about 5 hours. After I came back, I found my dress to be free from the makeup stains and it looks brand new! Whooo Hoooo!

The dress is now hanging to dry. I am sooo excited! I can't wait to try the Oxyclean on several white t-shirts, the hallway carpet and the chairs in the living room!! GO ME, GO ME, GO ME!!!!!

Lowlights, facial brighteners, ohhh my!!!!!!!

Okay,

So my recent article research has been on lowlights. So far it's interesting reading since it was something I wasn't very familiar with. It will definitely be an interesting article to write about.

Lately, most of the articles I right, I've been checking out the

ideas for myself. One I did a while back was about facial brighteners. Well, after writing the article I decided I wanted to try them, so when my fiance and I ventured out to our local wal-mart I decided to hunt them down. End the end my fiance even got in on the search.lol Turns out wal-mart doesn't carry the stuff, so it looks like if I really want to purchase a facial brightener I'll be looking for it elsewhere.

Now that I am writing an article on lowlights, I am seriously considering having those done. I was talking to a friend who has lowlights and she left me with a positive note, so who knows!

Care Fair

While I have a few extra moments, I thought I would give you a bit of background (sort of a review, I guess) on who I work for. I started working for Care Fair last August. My first experience with them was a bit hesitant because in the past I have found getting a long with most of my bosses as a negative experience. Nathalie however, is different. What really impressed me was the fact that I received an unexpected package in the mail from her last December. In it was a wonderful Christmas basket filled with yummy goodies and a thank you note from the Care Fair team. I was so touched that I sent her a thank you note. In return she was touched by my thank you note.lol Lately things have been a bit slow with my writing and while Nathalie could easily dismiss me as a writer, she hasn't and I am very thankful for that! She has been a wonderful boss and I truly enjoy working for her and the rest of the Care Fair team.

When you drop by their website, you'll notice it is beauty related. It's another reason I enjoy working there! I have always been fascinated with beauty and at one point considered a career in cosmetology. I love makeovers and I love seeing the wonderful expressions on the faces of those who are made over. The one unique thing about Care Fair is that there is a section included for Men! You'll also find product reviews and a dictionary based on cosmetics!

If you enjoy beauty as much as I do, definitely check them out! You won't be disappointed!
