Let's Catch Waves, Shall We?

Wavy hair! 

Out of all the gene traits I did get from my mum, wavy hair was not one of them. She blessed me with thick hair, but held onto her wavy hair. It's also something I have envied her for, her natural and gorgeous waves that just seem to fall perfectly into place. 

I have tried to create that look before, but never has really come to look like that. Maybe I wasn't doing it right, or my tequnique was all wrong. 

But as of right now, I have really pretty, curly hair....

Yesterday, when we (mum, Mishael, and I) were at the mall killing off some time, the people here were cleaning the carpet, we stopped by one of those carts with the intention of me just getting my hair straightened for free; but, it apparently worked miracles! 

The lady created these beautiful curls and waves for my hair that actually stayed. My mum and I were both impressed considering I have mostly had pros do my hair for more permanent results and even then the curls (done with curling iron or flat iron, not the rollers) didn't stay for that long, may I also say they were neither that flattering. 

My hair didn't stink afterwards or wasn't super stiff either. Mum decided to think about it a little bit before buying; but we have made our decision and will go back to buy it. 

I know what you might be thinking- you just haven't tried the right tools. Well, hate to break it to you, but yes, I have tried all sorts of tools, and I guess my hair is just special?

So I am right now, over-the-top happy! 

I would take pictures, but our awesome digital camera is I think being shipped to be be cleaned because we got sand in it.

Looking Better & Art

So the other day I was thinking to myself, and, I am going to start taking better care of myself. Not that I don't already, but I am going to start caring about myself more. Not in the bad selfish way, but thinking more what's good for my hair, what kind of make-up am I putting on. I already do that, but I feel like I need to do that more. Like styling my hair, I don't want it to be just straight and down all the time. That gets boring. I think I am going to buy some hair rollers or curlers or whatever so that my hair can be curly sometimes. Have those nice, big curls that I love seeing on TV. Now with my hair getting longer in the fun way, I can do more, and I will.

I am going to start wearing make-up again, not just the regular lip gloss or lip plumper, but make-up. For awhile, I just left that alone because I wanted my face to get better, and it has. So no I can be that make-up wearing chick again. Of course, not too much in the freaky way. Just the normal way. Also, on a night out, I will be more creative.

To me, make-up is art, just like writing is art, photography is art-duh-and fashion is art, dressage is art. And I love art. So when putting make-up on my face, I'm not thinking about looking younger, I'm always thinking art. Of course I make sure that it's appropriate, but art. And I want my face to be art again, you get what I'm saying?

I also think of my hair as art, in whichever for that it is. The styles, the textures, the colours-art. I don't want to just stick my hair in a ponytail all the time. Even if it's simple, I want it to be gorgeous, in more ways than one.

I'm an artist, at least that's what I'm told, and that's how I think. Like an artist, so I see things differently. I look at a lot of stuff in an artsy manner, not simple, but artsy. Which is very creative, big, bold, and out there. Whether it may be out there in a simple form, or complicated form. Artsy manner. Yeah, that's it, that's how I will describe it. So in order for me to start looking better at looking better, I have to think of my my hair, make-up, everything as art.
