Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you all are doing well. It’s kind of a dreary day in North Texas. It’s not too cold, which is fantastic, but it looks like there’s a chance of rain. Of course, after having said that, it will probably be super sunny now. Texas weather is annoyingly unpredictable. It was very cold a couple of days ago then it was warm and now it’s confused.
Real quickly, I want to mention that if you’ve posted comments on my blog and don’t see it, it’s because it’s been filtered. I filter out all the weird spam comments. Unfortunately, sometimes legitimate comments get included. I can’t always tell what’s a true comment and what’s not so it gets deleted. This is just my way of keeping my blog clean. So I apologize if your comment was deleted.
For those of you who are into football, it’s championship Sunday. The Ravens vs. The Patriots. The 49ers vs. The Giants. I’m not sure who I’m cheering for, because none of these teams are my favorite. I’m sure by the time the games roll around, I’ll end up cheering on someone. In the meantime I’m watching Barclay’s Premiere League football (soccer to us Americans). It’s Arsenal vs. Manchester United. This is a pre-recorded game, since England is 7 hours ahead of us I believe. Manchester United won by the way, 2 to 1.
I just want to mention how interesting it is to me when I watch Everton play. Their sponsor is Chang Beer, which is a Thai beer. The interesting part is seeing Chang on their jerseys and Thai words flashing around the pitch.
Do you know who’s beautiful? Fernando Torres. Too bad he hasn’t been as productive as the Blues were hoping for him to be. Especially, since Chelsea is paying so much for him. Which reminds me… Please let Yu Darvish be worth the price tag. Even though it has been super to go to the World Series two years in a row, it would be even better if we actually won.
By the way, it’s starting to look sunny out there. I told you.
I’ve been sick this past week. I ended up with a cold after going to Yue’s baby shower. I can’t seem to shake it. At least I’m not coughing as much, but I really wish the runny nose would let up. It’s pretty yucky. Oh to be mucus free.
Sorry, for the random jumps in topics of discussion. It’s been a while since I’ve actually chatted. Usually, I’ll post some pictures or a video and comment on them. Not much comminicato if you know what I mean.
For those of you who’ve known me or seen me throughout the years, you may have noticed that I’ve grown my hair out. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that I’ve been trying to grow my hair out for years. Up until the past year, it’s been an epic fail. My hair is past my shoulders now. Pretty much around my shoulder blades. The problem is that I’ve had short hair for so long, I’m not really sure how to style long hair. I’ve just been straightening it out, but my mother hates it. She doesn’t like super straight hair. She likes for me to curl the ends in to give it some shape.
After almost a year of straightening my hair, I finally agree with her. Of course, it has a lot to do with seeing pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge and her lovely locks. I’m completely rubbish at curling my hair so I won’t ever be able to get Kate’s curls, but I can at least get her blow out look. I finally have hair long enough to do a blow out and of course I went to YouTube to learn how to do it.
I’m not coordinated enough to use a round brush and a hair dryer like some of the ladies who posted tutorials online. Plus, it would take me forever and it would make me late for work if I attempted to use two tools. Fortunately, I found this video of Tanya Burr whose YouTube channel is Pixi2woo (not to be confused with Sam and Nic from Pixiwoo). The tool they are using is the BaByliss Big Hair Rotating Brush.
I don’t think you can find this tool in the States. I could be wrong, but it looks like it may only be available in the UK. A similar tool that we can get here is the Conair Inifiniti Pro Spin Air Brush. 
Anyway, this is a tool that I knew would be terrific for me, because anything that requires less work is aces in my book. Fortunately for my pocketbook, Athica already had an air brush. Of course, this one was bought when we were in high school and does not rotate. I have to rotate it manually, but I get the same result. It just takes a little bit longer than the rotating one. Despite it’s old age, this tool works very well!
I do want to mention that even though these air brushes blow hot and cool air, it is not a substitute for a hair dryer. It works best on slightly damp hair.
I’m still debating on whether I want to get the spin air brush, but for now I am just going to put some muscle into it and use the one I have.
