Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

It has passionflower, chamomile, linden flower, catnip, and hop strobile in it.

hm, that sounds delicious. I sometimes drink a medicinal herbal tea when my tummy is giving me trouble and it usually helps. over here, herbal teas (camomille/ peppermint/ fennel/ mixed herbs) are generally much more common than e.g. in England, though.

I prefer to buy my fresh plants (really cheap) and make the tea myself. Here we use tea for everything. Want to sleep? drink tea. Have a cold? more tea. Want to get pregnant? tea!

I think buying premade tea is just wasting money when you can make the mix yourself.

I would love to make my own tea; how do you make it???

[Shalot]

yeah, what do you mean by pre-made tea?

i brew my own tea, but I buy little bags at the store and I make it at home.

I guess you're talking growing the tea, and drying it out yourself before using it? sounds like it would be far superior.

Well it depends which kind of tea you're making, some plants are better without being dried: like mint and chamomile.

You just find the plant, boil it and drink the tea.

(I eat the leaves too, they're good for you)

My hair is rockin' today. It has the right amount of hold and barely any frizzies - I gotta remember this mornings recipe:

Sun silk Volume control
Fresh Curls
The blue stuff from Beyond the Zone
Frizz Zapper

I'm gonna try again tomorrow to see if I get the same results.


And why can't I do my nails halfway decent, every time I try they come out all jacked up?

[papayahed]

So far so good, it worked again today.

Nice. I pretty much do my hair the same way every day, and it seems to come out different every time. Sometimes it looks great, other times, not so much.

It's all about the product, right papaya??

As long as I use the same products in the same order, and apply them when my hair is dry enough but not too dry, and stay in a climate controlled environment until it dries, everything is good!

[Bakiryu]

My hair hates me. It always does what it wants. Its like a separate entity that just happens to be living on top of my head *hums x-file theme*

I love reading about you young ladies' concern about your hair. When you get to be my age, your just glad you have hair and can afford color!! I read somewhere a few years ago that a "bad hair day" is a physical thing and that everyone has them due to climate and hormones. So once you no longer have hormones, you just don't worry about it so much. You buy lots of ponytail holders and worry about big stuff...like if your butt is big or you boobs will stay above your waist.

[Nossa]

Hey guys!!
I'm just dropping by to see how's everyone doing?!
I'm pretty busy with my courses these days, I'm not online much, but I wanted to see how's life with all of you?!
Hope everything is good

Well, I say live for the day. My coworker is balding but I'm not going to worry about my potential balding until I get closer to that age. And about the boobs, well maybe one day I can afford an augmentation. Or maybe I'll get breast cancer and then it won't be a concern.

Shalot, that's a terrible thing to say!!

[Shalot]

Shalot, that's a terrible thing to say!!

Well no. Life is a gift and we should thankful to be alive. And part of being alive is living and you have to go through the part where you worry about the hair you have so that you can to the part where you're thankful you have hair and so on. No matter what age we are, we all have our own silly little mini-tragedies, whether it's hair you can't manage or being the pilgrim instead of the indian in the thanksgiving parade (that was my personal kindergarton tragedy - and then to top it all off, I was an alligator in the Christmas play in the first grade!!!) So if we're going to talk hair and hair remedies, let's talk about them. We can worry about not having hair some other time.

I really wanted to be the indian but I was a pilgrim because of my fair skin and blue eyes but if only they knew - I am an Indian at heart!!!

But I do digress. I apologize if I offended anyone.

[*Classic*Charm*]

Not offended!! You're explanation is more than sufficient. In fact, they sound like words to live by!

Sorry bout you're not being an indian. I'm sure you'll get there someday!!
