Keratin treatment

Been unhappy with my hair for as long as I can remember :), and have tried rebonding multiple times. With thinning hair and a fat(ter) face, that was becoming a difficult thing to continue. Then went to a perm to try and live with my original hair long enough to see what it looks like. And got fed up of the perm cos the bloody thing is too puffy!!

And heard about the magical keratin treatment - it isn't chemicals and can make your hair shinier and softer!!! Finally a product that (supposedly) makes your hair better as it makes it better! And I had to try. Googled and investigated. Went back and forth as I heard of the dreaded carcinogens in the formaldehyde and the possible fear of killing myself slowly for hair!!! And took the plunge (like youth does not worrying about what could happen). It says the treated hair responds to keratin treatment better than original hair as treated hair is more porous.

And I can see softer hair.. And perm is softer. But I was promised magic, and again I feel disappointed. It's not as soft as the pictures show. Or as smooth. And once again the magic is a let down.

Am very impressed with Enrich Salon at Hypercity tho. They did accept the expectation setting on the part of their staff wasn't accurate. And have offered to make another attempt at my abused hair in a few days (I assume free of cost). And they did tell me more clearly now what I should expect.

I'll be honest, I didn't really expect magic in the deep of my mind. But my heart keeps having hope for my hair! Every time I look in the mirror I expect to see something different. And am disappointed when I don't. Let's see what magic try 2 gives me.

Almost considering just going bald and getting a wig!!!

Hurry up!

Make the title snappy or I won't read it. I'll scroll past.

Make the content flashy or I won't stay on it. I'll move on.

Make the point quick or I won't hang around. I'll ask someone else.

That's what the mobile age has done to me. I always was impatient. Now am twitchy too. If the news cannot make the point well and quickly I can't hang around and finish the story. What all am I missing?

And are people reading me, or am I not quick enough?

Happy birthday

First a fake bake cake.



Then fake blow candles - I like that there is an app for this :).







A long day and then a real cake.



And a brat who wants to watch Tom and Jerry more than cutting a cake with me.

Birthdays

You expect birthdays to be special. Well I do. 35 or not, I always expect something magical will happen on my birthday. And this job sure keeps making that impossible :). 3 birthdays in a row, I'll be spending over 14 hours doing something related to work!!

My husband did make the whole occasion special, I have the iPhone 5 :). But I'll hardly see my son, and he knows birthdays now. But between a political death and office, it won't be the same (though I am so lazy it might not have been different even otherwise :)).

But I like birthdays. However true that I am now a year older, that's one day that's still special. Like anniversaries :). And with a lovely son and a loving hubby and a wonderful dad, that's the way to grow old for sure.

And as my fb wall starts filling up, even a day filled with work isn't so daunting (yet). So have a wonderful my-birthday all!!!

Blogging from the iPhone 5

Got nothing major to say other than that :)

I wrote a poem

My sis-in-law needed a poem for her daughter on friendship. I googled a lot. And wrote this.

I pulled your hair
You smacked my head
I shot a pea
You wet my bed

I broke your pen
You stole my book
I tore your skirt
You refused to look

I said sorry
You said fine
I held your hand
You held mine

I cut my hair
To match yours
You wore my dress
I wore yours

He hurt you
I cried along
He loved you
I sang along

We met young
We lived long
This today
Is our friendship song
