Random things for hair and skin from a kitchen and a really terrible title.

Bad title, but it gets the point across. Ashlee from A Mortal Doth Approach posted something similar not so long ago, right here. I shall list mine.


Coconut Oil-

I put it on my hair. Just work it into your hair, let it sit anywhere from 15 minutes to overnight, then wash it out. It may feel a bit oily after... But its more like when you use a leave-in conditioner than having unclean hair. It makes your hair really soft and shiny, and it is supposedly good for helping damaged hair and hair growing. You can also use it for skin, apparently its anti-aging and helps treat eczema (I will be testing it on my mom and brother to prove this). If you are wondering if you will smell like a coconut... Sadly (or not sadly), no. I can't smell a thing. But you can mix it with some scented oil (I used burning oil from The Body Shop, but they say a few drops mixed with something else is perfectly safe for skin) it will leave a light scent of your choice. Only use a couple drops! That stuff is strong. Oh, and the oil does NOT leave your skin greasy.

Vinegar-

I do not use this for much. But, got a sunburn? Splash some apple cider vinegar on it in the shower, it helps with the pain.

Honey-

Cover your face in honey. Let sit 10-20 minutes (depends on how long you can stand a sticky face). It softens and cleans.

Yogurt-

This has two uses- For skin, just cover your face in it and let it dry a bit (about 15 minutes). It makes your skin feel sooooo hydrated and nice. For hair, either use it alone or mix it with olive (or coconut) oil and let sit 20 minutes. Shiny and healthy hair. Make sure it is PLAIN. I don't use this often, because my skin isn't very dry and it makes it a bit too oily after a while. Better for dryer skin.

Green Tea-

Come on, you're a goth, you should have some tea! Green tea is really good for skin. Notice how its popping up in skin care products everywhere? The problem with those is it doesn't contain a lot of tea, making it useless. Instead of spending extra money on those, brew some green tea, let it cool and put in a spray bottle. (Don't be impatient and fill a plastic spray bottle with hot tea, that melts the bottle. I would know.) Spray it on your face. Hooray, you now have a new toner! If you use frequently (more than once a day), make sure its not a very strong brew, or it might stain your face a bit (just looks like a bit of a natural tan, but that's more horrible than what you might have been thinking.)


There's a lot of other things from your kitchen you can use for skin or hair, but I can't name them all. And I haven't tried them all. (I heard cocoa powder is good for fake tans, but what use is that?)

The Jane Brooks Project

I assume you know I'm a huge fan of Emilie Autumn. I mention her in like every other post. Well, "Jane Brooks" is an alter ego of hers. She has some AMAZING songs for the project. I don't really know much about it, but... Here's the link to them!

Don't Blame Me

Be Silent, Be Still

And one that sounds sort of similar...

Faces Like Mine

Now, before you get uninterested, you might want to find out where to get a free download (actually, the only place I found where you could download it- Its not released on a CD or EP). If you do, click HERE.

Also, I will probably be posting a few more posts today.

Cannot resist posting these videos

Just watch them.

And since I'm in the middle of procrastinating, I thought I would add dialogue.


BARKING CAT:

"Bark bark bark bark" *human comes* "Oh... shit... Meow meow meow meow"


FOX LICKING WINDOW:

Yeah... Can't think of anything for that.


FOXES ON A TRAMPOLINE:

Fox 1: "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to d-"
Fox 2: "What the..?" *bounces. Bounces. Bounces* "Hey, this is fun!"
Fox 1: *continues fighting* "We need to rehearse! Now, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my-"
Fox 2: "BUT THE FLOOR IS BOUNCY!"
*Both walk off to corner*
Fox 2: *bounces*



Enjoy the funny videos and my... Not so funny scripts for them. I don't even remember what I'm putting off doing, but maybe I'll remember after I watch some Doctor Who. Ya know, maybe.

Top ten reasons why I want summer to end.

Sorry for lack of actual posts. My brain is malfunctioning at the moment. But since I don't know what else to post, here are my top 10 reasons why summer should end!

1. Too hot.
2. I have a *gasp* TAN! That big hot yellow thing in the sky needs to stop being so close to my current planet.
3. ITS SO BORING! Sure, its great if you are dreading going back to school and have friends nearby (or a pool), but I'm waiting for school to start so I can have something to do (instead of letting my mind drift off to Narnia).
4. Autumn is prettier. The leaves!
5. People actually wear clothing in other seasons!
6. Cardigans.
7. Scarves.
8. BOOTS.
9. Mainstream stores finally carry better clothing, often times velvet or lace.
10. No more annoyingly loud music or parties from my brothers' room at 4 AM!

What are your reasons for wanting summer to end? (Or, why you are dreading the fall, if you're crazy enough to like summer)

The only thing I'm not really happy about is having to read Treasure Island. Its sooooooooo big and confusing! (Pirate terms make no sense to me.) My mom actually offered to read it and summarize it for me so I could write my paper- GASP!! Cheating in school before it even starts?!?! I'm determined not to cheat, and definitely not on the first assignment. What if they ask me about a certain part? What if someone else who read the book tries to talk about it with me? What if they find me out, and I get a DETENTION?! What if, because of that, I NEVER get a job ever in my entire life, all because I didn't read Treasure Island?

/End jumping to worst possible conclusion.

But, because it is homework and I need to do it, I set this as my computer background to motivate me:

Darren <3 (Its pronounced "Less Than Three" if you were wondering.)


Random note time:

I need to make a post of Avatar: The Last Airbender (it even has a goth in it!)

Ya know my trip to Misery Missouri later this month? Yeah, still not done complaining about it... But one of the girls I'm expected to like because her grandma is a friend of my mom likes AVPM and Darren Criss and Chris Colfer, so I might actually have some fun. Maybe. (I know, very optimistic.)

I still need to clean my room. Like half the things I'll want to pack are buried under a pile of unidentified crap that seems to either be a pile of garbage, clothing and random knick knacks, or radioactive slime. We'll see later.

Thanks... I think...

Today, at the grocery store, some random guy was passing, and he said to me "You smell nice."

That was weird.

I was not wearing any perfume, so I just smelled normal. Maybe a bit like my dogs. It was some random 20-something dude. He walked away before I could respond but... What? Should I feel complimented?

Another reason to confuse me- He sounded (and looked) confused when he said it. Like "Wow, she smells nice, thats shocking!"

So I am quite confused. Its like that time in 6th grade when someone just randomly said to me "So you're the fancy dresser!" (And didn't explained when I asked).

Name Change!

Yay!

The old name was getting boring... So now its Toxic Tea Party. To celebrate...

That last one? So effing epic. I want it. They have one just like it on etsy (by the same person who made it). Just type in "Pirate Tea Cup". Tell them Teresa sent you, they will have no idea who I am.

Sorry for the no actual posts lately... I think the resent heat wave has stunted my brain, my sleep problems are getting more annoying as school comes near (I woke up at 4:30 pm today and no one was shocked) and since school is coming up... I'M FREAKING OUT V DUFIJ8FIHSFVFHUIDSUFVVIDFSJAI!!!!!! Not because I think it will be "Hard" or anything, but because I have to clean my room and assemble my wardrobe in a MONTH! And I need to wake up at an unhumanly hour (as opposed to my regular unhumanly hour) because the bus comes at 6:40. And school starts an hour later. Sitting on a bus for an hour EVERY morning? Gah, WHY can't my brother have a car (and a license)?

Well, I have to go. I convinced my mom we should go out for dinner (due to the fact that we have like no food at the moment) so I have to read blogs and do my makeup. Sadly, pirate headscarf does not go with my dress :(

Aw, she's telling me to leave NOW before I can read the blogs! Grr.

I feel cranky and pubescent and I don't know why.

I must have Wizard Angst.

But seriously. Unknown reason for particularly bad day. I'll blame it on wizard angst.

Or Doctor Who withdrawl... Time to watch an episode on netflix.
