So…I’m that girl who took horseback riding lessons for approximately 1 year. I fell off the horse when we starting trotting a few months in so all I ever wanted to do was just walk on the horse. Not so great for lessons. I quit ice skating after 4 months because my ingrown toenails hurt. I played softball but they put me in the outfield so I meandered up to the diamond to draw in the sand. I quit soon after.

I guess what I’m saying is that if I’m not getting instant results, it’s REALLY hard for me to stay on course with something. I wanted to like washing my hair with baking soda and water and then rinsing it with a mixture of apple cider vinegar. Hippies tell me that this will do wonders for my super dry hair that frizzes in the humid New Orleans summer. I tried it once. ONCE. My hair was so greasy and oily, I had to pin my bangs up. This I was not expecting - my hair hardly ever looks greasy because it is so thick and dry. The hippies told me that this was normal - my hair is just detoxing and getting rid of all the crap. It will look amazing in two weeks. TWO WEEKS.

Hippies, I do not have time to let my hair detox and look like a 12 year old boy’s face. I work in sales. I curl my hair with hot rollers every morning to tame the madness and give it some sort of “fixedness.” I can’t be rocking a ponytail with my bangs pinned up every day for two weeks. No. Just…no. Hippies, it’s not that i’m vain. Believe me - I’m the first person to try to go to a bar in pajamas. It’s just that I like my job and I don’t want to lose a sale for looking like I seriously need ten showers.

I hightailed it to Whole Foods and bought some castile shampoo that is still good for my hair but will also CLEAN it properly without the need to detox. Ok - so I failed at the BS/ACV hair wash…but I didn’t go back to my Herbal Essence.

The OCM is going well on my face — super soft and that I don’t mind detoxing because I can cover it up with my amazing Benefit Erase Paste.

In other news, my throat hurts and I feel like I may be getting sick which is a tragedy as I have not gotten sick in over a year. So, I’m going to go watch back to back episodes of “America: The Story of Us” and whine for Rods to bring me some ramen or something as equally comforting!
