Long Hair

Alright... I have seen some things online telling you how to grow your hair REALLY fast... and I've found a way that works...

I got my hair trimmed toward the end of December (I do not have any pictures, I'm sorry) and it was two inches off... Soooo I have this cool stuff called Indian Hemp which is what Indians from India put on their hair. It's sort of like grease, but not quite grease and if you put the right amount in, it doesn't grease up :) It's very light, doesn't weigh your hair down, and is completely natural! :) I use that, and Bedhead Conditioner, and some regular conditioner and I have grown my hair back to its length.. PLUS two inches! here is my schedule for beauty care ;):

Sunday- wash my hair

Monday- wash my hair and put in regular conditioner

Tuesday- wash my hair and put in the Indian hemp

Wednesday- Don't wash my hair put in another dose of Indian hemp

Thursday- wash my hair and put in regular conditioner

Friday- wash hair and put in bedhead

Saturday- don't wash hair

This is scheduled PERFECTLY so that my hair looks beautiful on Sunday! :D (which is important to me because that's usually when I go out, and everyone I know is at Church) So this really works... Don't forget a periodic trim to get rid of your dead ends and also a little something I learned: Take a section of your hair, twist it lightly, and then trim off any dead ends that show themselves! :) If you do it in a well lighted room, you can easily find all of them.

So hope this helps some of you (I know it helps me make a periodic post ;) )

Love,

Party Dress Plan

Yay! It's for sure now! This will be my next project... a 1950's prom dress for a Homeschool Ball me and dear Bascha and Theresa are attending this April! So my basic style is narrowed down to two patterns.. so i will put links to both :)

strap style

halter neck

Tell me which one would look better in this FABULOUS tulle! :O

BEAUTIFUL!

The great thing is... I can get this for only $0.99 per 54" yard! :O is that crazy or is that CRAZY!? lol So yes.... That's my ideas... and how would that coral tulle look with a pair of DELIGHTFUL silver pumps? Gorgeous? ;) lol I am totally excited about this and can't WAIT to make it! :O Also... I still haven't decided what colour lining (and any smooth parts of the bodice) I will go with... Maybe a silky beige or pinkish sheet from Goodwill? :D

Totally excited!

Love,
Ruth

New Project (I hope!)

Sooo my dear friends Bascha and Theresa have invited me to a Homeschool Ball in Charlotte this coming April. I am SOOO hoping and praying I can make it! :O It will be so awesome if I can! :D Sooo, I am thinking, some kind of poofy tulle skirt, and I have no idea for the top, except that I want that little scarf affect ... like this!

And this...

I'm actually thinking I may just replicate this dress! LOL except that I would have to make the neckline slightly higher... I personally don't like to show cleavage :) but I will do strapless if the neckline is high enough! LOL

I also love this dress... *sigh* what shall I do? :D

Well, dearies, as you can see, I am attempting to keep to my New Year's resolution! LOL I HAVE MADE A BLOG POST! ROFL

Love,

Ruth

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone! And... a list of (ten) resolutions ( I will probably really have more than this ) ;) Feel free to share yours if you want!

1.  Draw closer to God

2. Have a better attitude (I can get an attitude sometimes!)

3. Try to be happier and more joyful (some might see this as very unnecesarry for me, but believe me it is hard sometimes!)

4. Talk less (YIKES! I sometimes use talking just to fill time!)

5. Show Christ to at least one person

6. Make it to EVERY Youth Group (I did last year!)

7. Make more friends and be more of a help to them

8. Make an organized prayer list

9. Give more

10. Show people LOTS of love!

Alright... I think that's all for now! LOL I think maybe it should have been called "Confessions and Resolutions" what do you think? :D Some of those I think I can start before midnight ;) 

OOOPS! ONE MORE! 

TRY TO BLOG MORE OFTEN!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Love,

Ruth

Picnic in the Rain PART 3

I couldn't resist putting the third part up today! lol Soooo... here it is! and you don't have to wait :D

Here are the potatoes, right before I put them to boiling :) I purposely left some skin on :D Mom said it would be more 'rustic' that way! LOL and I like the skins anyhow :)

Freshly mashed potatoes :) Yummy! They were nice and warm at this point :( not so at the picnic unfortunately.

And now for the pride of my heart! LOL the Lemon Meringue pie! LOTS of pics of this one!

Freshly molded pie crusts :) Soft and oily!

Here's a closeup of the pie crust before it's cooked :)

Here are the baked pie crusts, and the pie filling, not yet boiled :)

Here's the filling almost finished :) for a while I was scared that my little bro had ruined it! lol but it came out beautiful!

An early pic of beating the egg whites :)

Looking fluffy a bit?

OOOO! Look! a little mound in the middle? YES!

OOOH! the peaks are standing now!!!

Here is the pie with the filling poured in, and the meringue spread on top :)

Here is the meringue formed into peaks! :D

This is me making the peaks! :D

About to go in!

Fresh out of the oven! Look at that beautiful gold colouring! :D

Here they both are! :D the one on the right is a little 'too golden' but it tasted good! :D

There you have it! I did it in three parts just like Theresa did! :D

Love,

Ruth
