Dry Shampoo, Streaks and Shinny hair!

Hello everyone!

I have nothing really important to blog about today so let me show you what I got up to!I decided to put a few more blond streaks in my hair, every year I go blond, and totally blond by about Christmas time.. so here is my first attempt!
Also, if you keep reading I have a amazing shinny Hair secret!





Shinny Hair:

You're recommended to only wash you hair once-twice a week. This may be hard, but back when I lived in Van I came across this AMAZING product that does wonders. It's Dry Shampoo. What happens is you spray this product on your roots, like hair spray, but it sprays on like air, and immediately it takes away the grease! I once went 9 days without washing my hair, and I have semi-greasy hair!
I used " Big Sexy Hair " for 32.99, but you can get products like "Batiste"- and this can usually be found in Regular drug stores for a fraction of the price, 7.99.
I just bought a can a week ago.



BUT

When you do wash your hair this is the regime:

Soak your head, put the conditioner on first, let sit for 2 minutes, then put the shampoo JUST on your roots, while the conditioner is still on, and rinse..
I did that for the first time today and my hair is amazing..
It's also good for your hair because it keeps the natural oils on your head, but still cleaning your dirty roots!

Try it and let me know how it goes!

Well, my daily blog for the day is actually from last night. I was appalled that I was treated in such a way, and apparently for no reason.
Glen previously, switched to a different Bank, which I will choose to leave anonymous, and closed his account with TD.
Glen had gone to cash his cheque at his bank, when he realized it closes at 4:00, a sad time, since most banks are at least open until 5. So no big deal, I said he could sign the cheque in TD, and we could cash it through my account. I first off didn't see how this was a big deal since I had done this many times through various other accounts when I didn't have one, AND, because Glen and I have a joint savings account through our banks.
But, this isn't even the problem. We walked up to the counter and she was a complete rude. Without even looking at us she asked for me to put my card in the machine ( in a very rude tone) and then when I was done pushing in my pin, she told me that I could of taken it out.
Proceeding, she was completely rude to Glen, and basically what we got out of it was she wouldn't cash the cheque because it looked fraudulent.
He gave her 3 pieces of ID, and even gave his Employer's Cell and home phone to call.
In this she looked at us and said, "there's really nothing I want to do"
So, holding our tongues we didn't say a word, just walked straight out.

Now, it probably doesn't sound rude, but It's hard to state tones over a blog. I felt really upset that I was treated in such a way.
I don't know if this young girl was having a bad day, but I didn't see why we had to be treated in such a way.
I could go on, but stated blankly, I will be switching banks. I am tired of ridiculous fees and calls to my home phone asking if I want a upgrade.
No thanks, TD, you hired a keeper!

Luke.

As, not many know. Last night Glen came home with a totally black, blue-eyed kitten. I thought it would be fun to have a cat around to entertain Chloe and myself for the next few weeks.
We were asked if we wanted to foster a kitten. So, that's just what we're doing. Through Woofy's, Willow Point. We've fostered a 8 week old, black kitten. We named him Luke, and I'm not sure how long we keep him.
It depends, it could turn in to long term-forever. Or short term. Regardless, we're glad we can help at least one other sad, homeless animal out.
He's really smart, and is already adapting.
At first, he hated chloe. But now they are playing together, and he is currently sleeping on my lap.
What a good little boy.

Starbucks Feelings.

I don't know why, but Starbucks makes me feel comforted. I was trying to think about why, when I go and buy a cup of Starbucks I feel comforted, nearer to family and whole.. and it was because of this:
When I lived in Downtown Vancouver, I lived directly across from a Starbucks. One of which I used to hit at least once a day, maybe twice.
There were always friendly faces in there, and they knew me by name. I love it. In a big huge city where I felt quite alone most of the time.. I had familiarity and someone to talk to.
Coming back to the Island, I almost completely cut off the urge to grab a Starbucks.. and now as I have been grabbing a few more once or twice a month.. I sit down with a steaming cup of " Pumpkin Spice" and I feel like I'm really indulging myself. The old feelings of comfort return in full force.
I love it.
Do you ever miss previous years or feelings? Even if they were hard years. You seemed to drive yourself further and harder?
So, this is my rant for the day. Not really sure how to explain it further.. but if you sit back and think about a period you miss in your life, and you don't quite know why, this is what my Starbucks Feeling is like.

Go grab yourself a Starbucks!

You're Mine.

Sitting here listening to this song " I'm Yours" By Jason Mraz, you've heard it.
Well, right after A-Hole left I was determined to learn this song on my guitar. Very easy, it's 4 chords the whole song, and a very hawaiiany, type song. Love it.
I learnt it, and then I learnt it on the Piano.. I've done a Acoustic, Classical, Accapela and various other takes of it.
But it reminds me of everything i've overcome. Thinking back it hurts me, not because it hurts me to think of what happened, but to think of me state. The pain one goes through to let go, and to learn to remold itself. It was such great pain, at times I wanted to not go on.
I don't want anyone to have to go through this pain, but now that it's been a whole year later I can say that it's done me so much good as well.
Not only am I a better Jess, but I have learnt so much, I'm stronger and more capable of being by myself.
I have found a wonderful man. I wasn't looking for a partnership through all this, but it happened.. and I can say he's one of the best there is. He treats me as I've never been treated, I've learnt to respect, because a good person only deserves respect.. and I have learnt what love means.
I'm continuing to grow and learn, and stretch( literally heheh)But in this process God has my hand and is showing me right from wrong.
It's been a horrible process but we sometimes have to go through it.

Here's the lyrics to "I'm Yours" -Enjoy

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

O.K. Guys, I promise tomorrow I will have a real blog for you, I promise! Today I spent the day with my Aunt Lisa, it was too fun! We went into Courtenay and went looking for good deals, designs and food. Carderos is definitely yummy. I would have to say a tie with Starbucks?!
So, my day was very very busy! But here's something I bought today. I thought this print was super cute.
Do you?

I Did It!

I finally bought the materials for my headboard. The hardest part was finding all the materials!
I'm a tad embarrassed to show you this room, it's not done yet.. a work in progress.. I hope to have his room done in a month or so. But look at the headboard!
