  1. Ah ha, finally figured out how to get to the styling guide section on the Ouidad site. It wouldn't show the interactive styling guide when I used the Curl Resources tab and clicked Ouidad Styling Guide. I have to open it with the Internet Explorer browser, not Firefox or Safari.

     

    Anyway, they're only stills, but they give you a better idea of how to section your hair and style it, how to use the duckbill clips, etc. It's a little better than just reading the directions.

  2. I read this article the other day and thought it would fit in here.

     

    Curl, Interrupted: Do Frizzy Coifs Equal Frazzled Psyches?

    For Meg Ryan’s turn in The Women, she got a mop of curls to reflect her messy life. Glenn Close had them in Fatal Attraction; Anne Hathaway shed them to be a princess. But isn’t it time for Hollywood to realize that wavy doesn’t equal crazy?

  3. If you don't have the Curly Girl book yet, here is a quick run-down at wikiHow.

     

    How to Follow the Curly Girl Method for Curly Hair

     

    Do you suffer from dry, damaged, frizzy, uncontrollable hair? Do you spend an excessive amount of time blow drying and styling your hair? Does the weather tend to dictate your hair style and your mood? Say good-bye to the frizz and split ends and hello to soft, healthy curls! As Lorraine Massey says, "Blow-dry straight, you're happy for a day; stay curly, you're happy for life."

  6. So we're going to San Antonio soon for a friend's graduation. SeaWorld and Six Flags are closed. We only have two days so not much time, but I'm checking out our options. We definitely plan to see the River Walk and the Alamo. We're also thinking about the Mission San Jose, the Natural Bridge Caverns and the nearby Wildlife Ranch African Safari.

     

    I had another question about hotel suggestions, but we're limited to 1000 characters in social group discussions.

     

    Any words of advice, tips or recommendations?

  8. I read the book about the five love languages and realized a lot about myself and dh. I'm still trying to figure out dc though. Dh does a lot of things for me or dc to show his love. He'll run errands or make special treats or do some chores for dc (so they won't have to), and that's his way of showing his love. That's also how he feels loved, if someone does something for him, i.e., cleans his car, fills it up with gas, mows the lawn, makes him a special treat.

     

    I'm more of the showing affection, listening, encouraging, and spending time together kinda gal. And I love to find the perfect gift for them! And, imagine that, that's also how I feel loved. When someone is affectionate, listens to or spends time with me, or when someone has taken the time to come up with the perfect gift for me, it means more to me than doing one of my everyday chores or errands.

     

    The gift doesn't have to be something from a store either. I recently dug up a bunch of pictures of dd from all of her travels, scanned and/or uploaded them, and put them in an online album for her. It was neat to be able to see her not only grow up in pictures, but also to remember where and when she went here or there. I love putting together slideshows and have done it for my parents' 40th anniversary party, my grandma, dc and dh. I've also made a CD for each dc with their favorite songs (this was before they had iPods).

     

    It's funny because we'll slip into our own favorite expressions of love and forget that it's not his/her love language. So it's almost like we're talking past each other instead of connecting.
