@Bow we keeping those glue salesman in business!! 😂

 

Yay you did it!! Hope it has left you feeling fresh.

 

You know I only wash my hair like once a month? I used to have suuuper greasy hair so I would wash it every day or every other day (but by the second day it was sooo gross). I found out that it's actually a vicious cycle!! Shampoo strips our hair of all its natural oils, then we use conditioner to put em back. Because our scalp is having its oils scrubba-dubbed so often, it starts to cope by producing more and more oils to compensate, which is why after 24 hours my hair would get alll gross and slick again. Wasn't till I got dreadlocks I was able to break the cycle 😅 

 

Sooooo really, you're actually just being super kind to your scalp! Also *gets on high horse* all these 'rules' about hygeine can be helpful guidance, but ultimately are merely social constructs and not every rule suits every person's body; no one should be shamed for caring for their body in the ways that suit them!! 

 

Hmm gem down the bottom eh? Good looking out!! Yeah thems the dried flowers! Well, most of em are fake lol but managed to like, pilfer the best lil bits (and now have a small stash of flowers and greenery I need to do something with!) and spent entirely too long colouring in some of the stems. I do love getting lost in flowy hyperfocus mode when there's minutae to fuss over!
