I'll Try That Week! #2: Coconut Oil Hair Mask

in ,

This post can also be titled "Pinterest Made Me Do it."

After seeing hundreds of pins raving about long silky hair after using coconut oil on your hair, I decided to try it. Hey, we had a jar sitting there anyway!

After reading a few different articles on the how-to, I got my hair wet in the shower then applied the coconut oil liberally - focusing more on my ends than on the roots. I got out of the shower, dried off then put a shower cap on my head and let it sit for 20 minutes. During this 20 minutes I wrapped a dryer-warmed towel around my head and also used a hair dryer to warm my hair up.

I also took this time to slater my body in the oil to see if it had the amazing skin benefits others swear by. At this point I really wish I thought to make a Pina Colada before hand because DAMN, the smell was making me wish I was pool side under a palapa. 

After rinsing my body and shampooing twice - I got out of the shower and combed out my hair. Right away I noticed that my hair DID NOT feel conditioned AT ALL and it was hard to comb through. While blow drying I kept hoping to see gleaming soft hair emerge, alas none did. And the fly-aways it was supposed to tame were actually worse than before. 

My skin felt nice and soft, and I smelled delicious, but my lower legs still needed some lotion. I just really felt greasy and developed an overwhelming craving for Thai food. 

All in all? It was a waste of an hour and jar of coconut oil. 

Friday Funny: Because We Could All Use a Laugh...

The days of the forwarded emails have passed... but my Mom sent me this one that made me giggle, so I thought I would share it here... 

HER DIARY.....
Tonight my husband was acting weird.
We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was out shopping with friends all day, and thought he was upset at the fact that I was late, but he made no comment.

The conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong, and he said "Nothing". I asked if it was my fault he was upset, and he said he wasn't upset, it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home I told him I loved him. He smiled slightly and kept driving.

I cannot explain his behavior, and don't understand why he couldn't say 'I love you too'.

When we got home I felt like I'd lost him completely.....as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly and watched TV.

He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. 15 minutes later he came to bed, but I still felt he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep, I cried. 

I am almost positive his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.

HIS DIARY......
Motorcycle won't start.....can't figure out why.
