Capillary schedule again

Image
 I decided to do a capillary schedule again . My hair felt soft, even if it was once a week and buying 3 types of conditioner. The reason why I go back to a capillary schedule is because I tend to forget to give my hair the moisture-nutrition-repair it needs. I only condition my hair when it feels dry, but it feels especially dry in summer. We have dry summers here in north-west of Germany. Talk about climate change ...  ETA: when I had the idea to start my capilary schedule, it was hot outside. Now it's autumn time. I get cold faster so I may need to wash my hair 2 times a week, because steam showers: mondays and thursdays.  Because I wash my hair twice a week in winter I will chose the first two rows of the weekly schedule. 1st Month 27th August - HYDRATION first, NUTRITION next Monday 31st August - NUTRITION. 3rd September - NUTRITION again. 7th September - HYDRATON. 10th September - HYDRATION. 13th September - NUTRITION. I had to wash my hair because I had to go to ...

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 ...

I can't braid my hair!

Image
I can't count how many times I've seen this on different YouTube braiding tutorials. I was like: "so what? I can't do fishtail braided double Dutch braids either." Venting for more than 3 years on YouTube I met people who really can't braid, no matter what. I was puzzled because I have scoliosis so it should be more difficult for me to handle my classic long hair that it should be for them handling layered apl-to-waist length hair. Growing my hair longer helped me learning what rough handling is (aka ripping off trough tangles), how our body can be trained to accept natural products, how shampoo commercials lie, etc. The lower half of my hair is thin but it marks the learning process of 23 years of short hair. (Photo w/ the braid) I learned that if you can't do this or that fancy updo is ok. I focus on flat and stable braided buns instead of volume, intricate small braids that would force me to lighten my hair so you can see it. Here are my tips f...

Welcome to my humble second EFIT ! 😊 7:30 I like to up do my sleep braid in winter. It's easy to braid your hair for sleep at night and wrap it in a bun in the morning; a job in a matter of seconds, really. Helpful when you are still sleepy to fuss on your hair in the morning. 8:30 This was the second snow though. But it lasted for few hours this time. 09:30 It was really cold though, I am glad I have good winter clothes. It was definitely -1C but then I couldn't make these photos without snow and cold. 10:30 It wasn't much snow on the streets, maybe just 1 cm thick; there will never be such thick snow as in Bavaria (at least I hope so) 😃😨😳 11:30 I played with zoom like crazy. buy original https://www.pixoto.com/images-photography/nature-up-close/other-plants/dead-chestnuts-5755164695461888 12:30 I was going back home when I saw birds on a tree nearby. I tested my camera for the first time with these models... er... birds....

Shaking off the cold

Image
I feel better after drinking a lot of tea, eating hot soups and fruit. I still have a rough voice especially if I speak loud and for some long(er) time. I'm experimenting with vitamins and tea... and of course, photography 😍. not happy with this view This thing ... Is not kompost as the fruit are fresh (as oposed to cooked).A friend told me it's still a tea but some kind of... well something different and interesting. Ok I cold my experiment raw tea ; or roar/ tea as the pronunciation is quite the same (english is not my native language, so feel free to laugh at me joke) 😃 Ingredients: pears (speaking of which, the last time I ate pears I was probably in my teens) (?) grapes tea bag hot water Enjoy it while you edit the photos and upload them on  different photo-challenge-websites...
