Stuck In My Head | Love Yourself

I'm not a Justin Bieber fan. Never was. But I have to admit this song is really good. The first I heard it I didn't realize it was Bieber's. But I think the message it conveys is really awesome. And the simple melody is really nice. We've all been there. We love some one that is just using us and keeps making us fade away, feel small and vulnerable. This song shares the message that you should not be with someone like that and that you are way better off alone! 

I read somewhere online, that he wrote this song when he was you really down, when Selena Gomes left him and broke his heart. And that the original title is Fuck Yourself. Which makes this song even more awesome! And now, that he is over her, we changed to name -- and the lyrics -- to Love Yourself -- because is like giving the other cheek. If this is true, my opinion of Justin Bieber changed completely.. A few years ago, everybody was making fun of him online. Having to deal with that, and a bad break up... it had to be really rough on him. To able to pick him self up when everything was just pushing him down shows an incredible will power and strength!  The video though, is not that impressive.

" Cause if you like the way you look that much

Oh baby you should go and love yourself

And if you think that I am still holding on to something

You should go and love yourself "

Braces | Week 10# + Lip Balm Addiction

10 weeks have passed. wow.

And overall -- since day 1 to now --  the changes are massive. My teeth are always moving. But the gaps that I had in my front teeth -- created by having braces -- have started to close. However, now I have more space between two teeth on the side, but it's not as noticeable as when the space was right in the front. Now my smile looks super straight! But... ... when I bit down, I feel like my top doesn't really align with the bottom. Which has been causing me some difficulties while eating. My jaw cracks sometimes when I'm chewing. This will be fixed when I get my bottom braces.  But since I have trouble completely closing my mouth, I have been sleeping with my mouth open -- very glamorous, I know! The problem with this is that I am always waking up super thisrty and with insanely chapped lips. I wake up with huge cuts on my lips, sometimes bleeding or with dryblood because of how dry my lips get. So now I need to have lip balm with me all time and I look like a maniac applying it every 5 min during the day.

Does this happen to you, or I'm just weird?

My No Poo Shampoo Story

You've probably red something about this somewhere online before or you've heard some youtuber talking about it. So you all know what it the No Poo Shampoo concept. Yeah, basically it's ditching shampoo for good. People say it's good to go No Poo. Why? Because shampoo is expensive (YEP!), and full of chemicals that can be harmful for your health and your hair and scalp. Our hair, supposedly, produces natural oils that condition and nurture our hair, so using shampoo messes up the natural balance and can cause us to produce more oil and have oily hair. That's the theory. 

I am a fan of this idea -- well, with some tweaks. But I follow this concept on my daily basis. I tried to go completely without shampoo, but I kept feeling dirty, My hair didn't look dirty -- I felt dirty. You know I have a thing with showering, and feeling clean, right? 

Anyway, I can stay one full week without washing my hair. I only wash my hair on Saturdays, And I try not to use too much shampoo, and only apply it near the roots, During the week I don't have time to deal with the whole process involved with washing my hair. Blow-drying, brushing, straightening... It just takes too much time. And before I started doing this, my hair was really damaged and falling a lot. And a few months after stop using shampoo so regularly, my hair improved a lot! Something else that I do is, in the middle of the week -- like Wednesday or Thursday --  I use some dry shampoo to kinda freshen it up and to give it some volume. But it doesn't look dirty at all! 

However, to get to this point I had to pass through some weird phases. When I decided that I was going to stop using shampoo, the next weeks were crazy! My hair looked super super dirty.  All oily and flat. I used dry shampoo, and baking soda to manage it -- but never washed with regular shampoo. But it was hard. After maybe the 3rd or 4th week it just stared looking normal. And that's when I washed again (just the roots, with a tiny little drop of regular shampoo). And since then I have been able to stay one week or more without shampooing it!

The next thing I want to try is some bar shampoo from Lush. I've red it is really good and it keeps your hair fresher than regular shampoo. So I really really want to try it!

Tell me, have you tried this No Poo Shampoo thing? And the Lush Shampoo Bars?
