Meh. I haven't been writing on here for nearly two months; not by choice. I don't like leaving my blog forgotten and falling behind with my hauls, but my work involves lots of writing and so does schoolwork, so I end up feeling too lazy to put effort into writing here.
I had planned for my next blog post to be a stationery haul from AliExpress, but I haven't received all of the stuff yet and I reckon it'll be one big haul to set up. So this blog post will only be a brief, sporadic update on my life these past two months. It is to be expected that I'll jump from one topic to another without a clear structure.
My hair is growing, shedding, fairytailing...
Last summer, I was hoping my hair would reach knee-length by December 2020, but it didn't happen. Pretty sure it's cuz I got a good trim back in September (I couldn't anymore with the fairytale ends), and I guess that I had overestimated the time it'd take to grow to my knees.
I haven't taken pictures of my hair since forever. Oddly, around last fall, it started to get greasy faster than usual. I tried reducing the amount of Moroccanoil I use and applied it first on the ends of my hair, then onto my roots. There wasn't an improvement. So, I haven't really been in the mood to take pictures of my hair. While I'm thinking about it, the brush may be the reason why my hair gets easily greasy since I always use the same one – whether my hair is clean or dirty – though I always operated like this without bad outcomes in the past.
Here's a random pic of my hair I took last November:
It touches the ground when I crouch. Of course, since that picture was taken, my hair has grown longer... My plan is to grow it slightly below the knees so I can trim the extra and still have knee-length hair. When that moment will come, I also plan on trimming the ends more regularly since my main goal will have shifted from growing my hair to growing healthy blunt ends. I'm excited. o(^∀^*)o
Oh, and my hair is shedding; been like this since December. I didn't experience shedding during the fall season like I usually do, so I thought that I was saved for the year, but the shedding just came later. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My hair sheds the most when I'm in the shower or when I brush it after it has dried, but also while I'm simply sitting at the computer. I don't see a MAJOR difference in my hair thickness if I check my whole head, so I try not to get too stressed about it.
Take a look at this cool homemade lint roller:
I got the idea last summer. (I eventually saw that these kinds of lint rollers already existed on the internet.)
I learned through my mom to use regular lint rollers to collect little fabric scraps on the floor. We came to realize it could also be used to pick up hair on the floor. Then later, I thought it'd be amazing if I could use the lint roller with a longer handle to avoid crouching.
My parents found my idea eccentric at first, but they nonetheless found a painting handle for me and managed to fit a lint roller on its extremity. Turns out this lint roller is SO PRACTICAL. I save so much time and frustration now, especially when I want to pick up individual strands of hair scattered everywhere around. Also, it's very gratifying to roll over my hair and see the adhesive roller grab everything. o(≧▽≦)o My mom even ended up making one for her because she finds it catches hair on the carpet way better than the vacuum.
I do have to change the sheet on the lint roller regularly. I do it a couple of times a week, it really depends on how I wear my hair during the day (obviously there is more hair on the floor when I wear it loose.) I haven't counted how many days a sheet lasts on average, but I went through a whole lint roller from summer through February, so it's not the thing that will empty your pockets the most.
Mmm... Food
I ate more delicious food but I only had these pictures stored on my phone.
