Title: The Dressing Room - Breathe Carolina - (Lyrics in Description)

**I DO NOT OWN THIS SONG** Track #8 Lyrics: Oh god, I already forgot your name But a name's just a swing of letters Put together, so clever. Oh god, I thought that I found god in your name It's upsetting, but the setting has changed We're never gonna be the same If you look everybody is trying on new faces And the ones that fit are surprisingly contagious With a shiny new beginning we cordially invite you to, Into the dressing room. Oh god, it seems that I misplaced your secret But I can see what it does, how it lights you up Oh god, it seems Ive had some better days Keep it steady cause your losing the pace We're never gonna be the same Don't spill your guts because that's a mess that no one wants to clean up This is enough, my heart is stuck, this feelings breaking me up

Hair Here, Hair There, Hair Everywhere.

So undoubtedly quite a few of you are going to find nothing of importance in this post. That is fine, that is fine. But I was quite humbled (and surprised!) at how many people reached out to me when I first posted about my illness-related hairloss. It's a real problem that a lot of women have to deal with, but so few want to actually admit to having to deal with.

And understandably so- it's the guys that are supposed to lose the hair, not the ladies. Thick, glossy hair is an indicator of all things great and all things good and all things pretty- thick, glossy hair means you're healthy, you're virile, and that you're ripe for some caveman dude to bop you over the head and drag you off to his cave. Thin, falling out hair and bald spots...well, it means you're sick. It means you're not healthy, you're certainly not virile, and you're a lonely little cave girl hanging out with her leeettle brown chihuahua 24/7 because chihuahuas don't notice such things as hairloss. They only notice the food. And they only notice you giving the food to them so they can put it into their little round, squishy bellies.

I have one sitting on me right now waiting for me to accidentally drop the chocolate chip cookie I'm eating into her mouth. She is so transparent.

For me, the hardest part about dealing with Lupus-related hairloss is that it is always there. There are some days where I feel fine, others where I don't feel fine. But it's hard to peek into the mirror and see bald spots all over your head on those days that you are feeling fine. It's a glaring reminder that you're sick, sick, sick. Even on those days where you feel pretty darn good- the bald spots remain, and it's screaming out to the world, "HI I AM SICK WITH A DISEASE I WILL HAVE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. LET'S FUCKING PARTY. YAY." I wrestle daily with the vanity of it all- some days I think, "Oh well, just hair." Others I think, "Ack. My hair my hair my hair!" It's a daily battle, but I'm happy to report that I think things are finally getting better.

I started the full Nioxin regimen about eight weeks ago. I went to the handy dandy Nioxin website, filled out a very comprehensive three question quiz, gave them my Astrological sign, and promised them my firstborn. The website then told me to use the Nioxin System in Level 4, so I immediately ran out and bought it. The Nioxin Level 4 System is for noticeably thinning, chemically treated hair. I bought all three products: the cleanser, the scalp therapy, and the scalp treatment. I also bought the Recharging Complex, which are daily vitamins. Go big or go home, I decided. If I'm going to do this, I'M GONNA DO THIS.

Let me be honest- Nioxin is not awesome shampoo or conditioner. I had been a stickler for Pureology for years now, using the Pureology Pure Volume shampoos and conditioners since 2006. I love Purelogy's products because they smell like heaven. You know, if heaven had a smell. Wait! They smell like Petunia after she's been rolling in a flower garden made out of Sweet Tarts and cotton candy and roses. And maybe a little bit of hippy- but clean hippy, not dirty hippy. That's exactly what Pureology smells like.

So it's been a big change to use the Nioxin, which has a funny burnt-plasticky smell to it. Thankfully the smell doesn't linger, so that's a plus. Nioxin is also really hard on my hair, which I had expected (after reading reviews on MUA). I now deep condition my hair (using this Phyto mask) faithfully once a week and I've also increased my usage of hair serums. If I didn't, I'd look like a walking frizzy furball-that-Streak-hacked-up-in-the-hallway. Yuck. There is nothing fun about Nioxin- not the smell, or the lather, or even its packaging.

BUT. But but but. I was blowdrying my hair the other day when I noticed something:

No, not that I have a forehead so big I could give Tyra Banks a serious run for her money. Or that I really should never photograph myself sans make-up (it won't happen again, promise). That's not it, guys. Look closer. I know it's not the best picture (why do I look blonde?) but look closer.

I HAVE HAIR GROWING! HAIR! BABY HAIRS! Squint. Okay, squint harder. I thought it'd be a relatively easy task, photographing the teeny tiny stubs of baby hairs (all of about 1/4" in size) popping up along my hairline. It isn't easy. The camera kept wanting to focus on my freakishly large forehead and not the hair. But squint and you can see- I haz the hair.

I ran up to Husband excitedly to show him, whiiiich only elicited a bitter response from him ("Oh look, you can grow hair. How special of you."). I chalked up to the fact that he's losing his hair due to good ol' Male Patterned Baldness and is just jealous and I should probably lock up my Nioxin so he doesn't try to dump it out and sabotage me. Or you know- steal it and use it himself. I AM GROWING HAIR, BITCHES! HAAAAIR!!! BABY HAIRS! HAIR HAIR HAIR!

I've been noticing a lot less hair falling out in the shower, too. No more clumps sliding down my legs in the shower and my co-workers no longer have to lint roll me before my shift at work every day. For the first time in almost two years- I can say that I feel like I'm not going bald faster than McCain lost the last election. Or faster than Lindsey Lohan runs to Twitter when she has a break-up. Or...I'll stop now. Woohoo. Goooo hair.

Is it the Nioxin? Who knows. That's the problem here. Hair loss is tricky, especially illness-related hairloss. No one really knows what causes it (stress? being sick?) and no one really knows what stops it (eating chocolate chip cookies? playing with cute puppies?). Has my body decided that I'm now healthy enough to grow hair? Or is the Nioxin working its magic and bitchslapping my hair back into growing? Hard to say. I'm not exactly scientific in my studies here.

However, I would like to note that the Nioxin is the only thing that I have changed in my routine- I haven't started any other new medications in the past year. I'm still on the same old Plaquenil for TEH LUPUS and anti-depressants for TEH FIBROMYALGIA (and okay anxiety and the fact that I tend to make myself hyperventilate when I'm feeling anxious yay). Nothing else new has been happening here except the Nioxin that I started nearly two months ago.

But as long as this keeps happening, I will keep it up with the Nioxin. I have tiny little hairs, about 1/4 inch in size, sprouting all along my hairline- it's the first time I have seen that in a few years. I still have mostly-full bottles of Pureology sitting on my bathroom shelf that I huff daily in order to get my Pureology fix. Oh Pureology, I miss you so. But this is just how it'll have to be. I hope you understand. It's not me, Pureology- it's you.

(Well, actually it is me and my boneheaded body that really wants me to be bald. Pureology I miiiiiiiiiiiss yoooooou. Cry.)

Now for the rest of you-

Something in this picture doesn't belong. Can you spot it? Hee.

Quick Inspiration: Earth Hour 2009

On March 28th, millions of people all over the world will be turning out their lights to raise awareness about climate change.

Earth Hour was started in Sydney Australia, and after just one year the number of participants went from 2 million to over 50 million. This year the numbers are even greater.

When it comes to raising topics about the environment, there are so many ways to get people talking about the issues. Beading is one of them!

If you’re an eco-friendly beader, why not make something for the Earth this month? You could use green, blue and white beads to represent the globe, buy some tagua nut beads for a sustainable project, or plant some flowers for the bees and then recreate them with beads.

And don’t forget to turn out your bead lamp for Earth Hour!

Poster Sketch: Columns of Color

Have you ever found something so fun to do that you get totally hung up on it? Like when you learn a new stitch or beading technique, and suddenly have ideas for 50 different color variations? It’s always a thrill to dive into something new, especially when you really enjoy it.

Lately, I’ve been totally obsessed with making striped treasuries for the Oh Canada Team. I started with one, and suddenly my mind is filled with four-color palettes that must be curated! Perhaps some of these colorful columns will give you a little inspiration for you next color adventure. How about a stripey spiral rope, or a color-block cuff?

Week 20 :: Rainy Day

White Cloud in Concrete Necklace by DrCraze

I love me a good thunderstorm; don't you?

I didn't always. In Hawaii, thunderstorms don't happen often - the tradewinds are so strong, they blow clouds right across the islands. Rain in Hawaii is full of soft drops, and only lasts for a little while. When we moved to Texas, it was a completely different story. Rain here isn't always soft; sometimes it's hard and rough, sometimes it's violent. Sometimes it's moody, sometimes it brings hail or flash floods, and sometimes it cloaks tornados.

Grade school here included tornado drills in addition to fire drills, and jobs required you to know the safe places. I've learned to watch the clouds for a particular greenish yellow shade, which could spell trouble in the sky. It took a while to acclimate, but I can appreciate a really good thunderstorm now.

Rainy days are "cuddle up with a good book" time.

Rainy days are an excuse to rejuvenate and rest.

Rainy days make me appreciate the sun even more.

How do you use a rainy day?

Quick Inspiration: Contests and Catalogs

Battle of the Beads

Joining in beading contests can be a great way to ignite your imagination. When you’ve been stuck for new ideas, being given a theme to work with for a challenge can open up new design possibilities, and inspire you to use new color palettes, techniques or materials.

The Auntie’s Beads blog team recently announced an all new beading challenge for designers called Battle of the Beads. Anyone can submit an entry of a beaded creation made primarily with products from Auntie’s Beads.

The entries will be paired off to compete in a tournament style voting process, where readers can choose their favorite and send it off into the next round. The last two designs standing will compete against each other for the top prize - a $250 gift certificate for Auntie’s Beads! The runner up will also receive a gift certificate worth $100.

To enter your design, send in a 400 X 400 or larger JPEG image, along with your email address, name and materials list. To learn more about the contest, visit Battle of the Beads on the store blog. The deadline for entries is September 30th, 2010.

New Etsy Backlinks

Savvy Etsy sellers know that having plenty of quality links pointing to your shop is a great way to stay visible with search engines. And if those links are also associated with fantastic pictures of your product, that’s even better.

Many of Etsy’s Storque articles tell us that blogging can be a great way to create some of these backlinks, as well as establish an online persona that will create interest in our designs. We also use Facebook, Flickr, Twitter and other social networking sites to spread the word about what we make.

With so many different sites to maintain, it’s hard to step back and get a good look at our Etsy business from all viewpoints. Luckily, that is all about to change.

An interesting new seller tool called SoopSee is making it easy for Etsy sellers to gather up all of their online activities into one place. With just a few simple clicks, you can import your blog RSS feed and all of your current Etsy listings into one place, plus provide contact information for any shop or venue that you sell from.

Your SoopSee profile is like a landing page for your business - a place to see everything that you do in one glance. The developers are hard at work, planning new features and sites to include, like Flickr. Anyone can start a SoopSee profile for free, or take advantage of some extra features with a pro account.

Have you been inspired by something new recently? Share a link with us in the comments!

The Audrey Hepburn "Updo" Timeless and Classic

Bangs are in. There are Bettie Page bangs, the Cleopatra straight cut bangs and the fringe bangs; and then there are the short short bangs. Then there is the Audrey Hepburn hairdo in Breakfast at Tiffany's. On Audrey Hepburn, short bangs accentuate her doe like eyes, making them appear larger than they were. Your eyes are drawn to her eyes by the well shaped eyebrows and large eyes. Hepburn's updo gives her a flirtatious pixy look which is she is famous for.

Hepburn's updo is timeless. Her hair is simply pulled up into a ponytail and fluffed for fullness. The ends are curled under and secured with bobby pins. If you feel secure with this look, here's how to get it:

• Separate your bangs. Your bangs need to be cut in an uneven pattern and texturized, by point cutting or with a razor, so that they appear light and natural. Cutting them straight off will give you a blunt and chunky look.


• Pull the rest of your hair back smoothly and form it into a full, controlled ponytail. This can be achieved on very long hair by pulling all the hair up into a high ponytail and fanning it out; or if you have very thick hair, you can backcomb the ponytail and then lightly smooth it over the top. The third option .... buy a hair piece to add on.


• Pin the ends under and spray with firm-hold hairspray.


• In hair that is not quite long enough, place a second ponytail about 2 inches down and hide it under the first. This allows the hair from the second ponytail to flow farther down or to the nape while the first ponytail is fanned out to cover all traces of the second. This also works well with layered hair.


• The band of the first ponytail is hidden by taking part of the hair and then bobby-pinning it to your head in front of the band and then smoothing the hair over the band and blending it with the total ponytail. Skip this step if you have an ornamental barrette or large clip to hide the band.


• To create this look on even shorter hair, pull your hair back and secure it with bobby pins and hairspray. Fasten a hairpiece in the form of a small hair piece or a fall to the crown of your head, making sure to cover all the bobby pins. The hairpiece should be a perfect match of your own hair color.

Make sure you have a great looking barrette. Here are a few we like:

When you're wearing your hair up, a fancy little barrette is a nice way to dress up the look. This silver tone piece is pave set with sparkling crystals for a vintage look. Measures 1.5" wide.

Freshwater pearls and clear crystals are woven into an intricate lattice pattern along with glass pearls in your choice of white or ivory. Pearls and crystals can be attached with either 14K gold or sterling silver wire and are set on a 3.5" silver barrette. The decoration measures approximately .5" wide.

If you want to go a step further and "get" the Hepburn look, you will need pearls and a "little
black dress":

Lila's 12 mm White Baroque Pearl Set - 20" Long -Pearls are a fashion staple - as one friend of ours said, "pearls are not a luxury - they're a necessity"! Sometimes, though, that standard string of pearls just doesn't have enough oomph for your fabulous outfit. Not to worry - Lila's collection of shell pearl necklaces and earrings are suitable for any occasion. Baroque shell pearls (shaped like tiny acorns) are tightly strung together, and secured in the back with a strong magnetic clasp. To close the necklace, just position each magnet near the other. They close with a snap, and open with a gentle pull on each magnet. The only trouble with Lila's pearl jewelry is picking just one! Do you prefer opalescent white pearls, gleaming silver pearls, or ultra-chic black pearls? 12 mm or 16 mm pearls? 18 or 20 inch necklaces? Forget choosing your favorite one - we're still trying to narrow it down to our favorite three or four! Be sure to shop the entire collection of Lila's pearl jewelry, and find the set that's perfect for you. There are eight sets to choose from...

And, GetGoRetro.com's "Audrey" dress. This is a sexy slim down dress, deep low V-neck front and back, gorgeous lace detail around neck line, stretch to huge your curve, a vent slit at back, side zip.
