My hair is too long for my elling woman bun for sleep

Image
When my hair was still barely brushing classic length (now my hair sits decidedly at fingertip length) I braided my hair then wrapped the braid length around the base of my braid at my nape and call it a sleep bun . Last month I did the same but I woke up with tangles the next morning. My braid tassel was wrapped too many times around my hair. My tassel is too long and too thin for this bun. It's either because my ends fairytale too much or because the elling woman bun doesn't work as sleep bun at a certain length. Now I English braid my hair and heavy oil the braid tassel. With the rest of the oil left on my palms I oil my braid. My hair next morning is not tangly but because my hair length and slippery my hair, I have to redo my braid. I can't shake off the feeling I must  wear a slip cap at night! Who knows how my hair behaves at mid-thigh?

Homeopathy and remedies

I got cold like almost 3 weeks ago. It happens to me every winter. Like last year , I DIY'd and I got healthy. First day was a chore: I couldn't even breathe well, let alone speak. I made something I learned from my grandmother. I googled it but I'd add: that photo is stupid. Cover your whole head under the towel! Breathe slowly and deeply. Keep your handkerchief nearby so you can grab it whenever you need to sneeze. Don't drink that tea afterwards, make a new one to drink. Just in case... I did this... breathing hot steam for 3 days in a row 2 times a day. In the meantime I drank a lot of tea. I can fairly say I drank like 2l of black (as to not drink coffee for few days) or mint tea. Of course I added either sugar and lemon or a menthol bonbon, or just simply drank the tea with anything fancy in my cup. Of course it helped that I DIY'd my spa time: hot water in the bad thub. I recommend you to tilt your head to get it warm in the water! Warming your head ...

Fasting?

From the DM Alverde magazine  How many times we didn't hear stupid advises like eat less , don't eat this or that , go to a coach , etc. I found an article about fasting and I thought it's even ok if I manage to eat less calories. I instantly knew I can't live on vegetable juice twice a day. Eating twice a day and drinking more tea helps. Also giving up that delicious pudding helps at least maintaining pounds. I try to not eat too many sweets. I ate some marmalade on my toast though for few days. I ate pasta and rice because I wouldn't go outside (or order for that matter) a fruit juice. (I don't even have a fruit blender as I'm not that tech-y). The first method was clearly a no-no for me. It's a fruit detox, I know but I wasn't prepare for it and I don't like how it focuses on juices more than everything. It's probably good before or after a surgery but on everyday basis it seems too much. They didn't count periods and the fac...
