Dye!

http://www.howtotiedye.net/

So this is a pretty good description of a tie dye kit, but am for sure going to figure out the cheapest, most effective, and most eco version possible. That's kinda my thing... seeing as I never have money.

ITS ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!!!

If I could write a Haiku for the cosmetics industry it would go something like this:
I say I will fix all of your problems in life
I most likely don't

So basically this is just me spewing my perspective briefly.
Don't be a slave to the cosmetics industry. Find out what makes things work and then decide if its for you. find a small handful of products that work for you and stick with it. If its really your passion explore all you want, but when I hit puberty I went from "OMG IF I GET 1BILLION PRODUCTS WITH MY PARENTS MONEY THAT ILL BE A SEXY MOVIE STAR!!!" no... now im trying to size down but i have a hoarding problem... err... I never use any of this stuff... or most of the stuff that makes my life a heavy burden... i want to be able to pack my life up in 2 suitcases. Right now... it better be two fucking BIIIIIIIG suitcases!

Have a Great XMASS EVE! (p.s. next year im celebrating the pagan version of Christmas... its way cooler)
-Love M.E.

It shouldn't be this way

Im sitting in bed with the 2 coolest blankets in my parents house. The oldest of the two was made by a great grandma or aunt for my mother and is next to the coziest crochet blanket ever. Its not soft or fuzzy or anything special but it just has the best aura. the second blanket is the first bedspread my mom bought for herself when she moved out of her parents. Its just a cotton stuffed white blanket with little blue flowers.

I sit here and hate on my life. Its my xmass break and all I can be is the most unoptimistic  person in the house.

I guess all I can do is listen to a little Jefferson Airplane Woodstock footage and go to bed.

Cant sleep... Maybe music will help

Double Dog Dare

I dare you
-Go out and buy a new flavor of tea (I bought one recently with lavender, peppermint, and many other herbs. Its called calm down or something like that)
- Take a reaaaaly long bath. Add salts, oatmeal, tea, honey, scents, bath bombs, WHAT EVER YOU HAVE in your kitchen light a candle, read a book, or just breath. I like eating food in the bath, makes me feel like a Egyptian/Greek/Roman goddess /i want to get little boats like in the Elizabeth Taylor version of Cleopatra. I think I might get a book on making boats and just apply the measurements to quarter scale and make a bunch of little ships... Yes that's a great way to spend my X-mass holiday... but actually it is
- Learn a new language, not necessarily the whole thing, but maybe basics like Hey, Howya doin, Wheres the bathroom, do you like apple pie? What ever floats your boat!
- Find or explore something that you don't like in the world and take action on it! What ever it is! As Grandmother willow from Pocahontas said, even the tiniest ripples make a difference. They are better than no ripples at all.
- Don't brush your hair for a week, and wash it every other day with a bio degradable shampoo... you don't know if you like it till you try. If your going to do this id say stock up on dry shampoo and wide-tooth combs. and educate yourself in dreading, cuz i have partial dreads in the sense that i separate my hair and palm roll the sections, it keeps my messy hair in check.
