Cracked…

Send Help, but wait until I get through a contemplation first LOL

I am almost through my cup of coffee for the morning and I’ve been sitting here trying to pull a thread of what to jot down.

Not for lack of subject matter, but because there is a mountain of it before me.

What to choose?

I was also thinking yesterday (again) about how personal to make these posts? Relationally speaking, I mean. I think and process about the things I see around me and around the world. The issues I have been battling mentally is that of conversational timing. I could write my opinion here, where someone who knows me reads it, and then —

While its a conversation I could have, I probably haven’t yet with the person in question either because

1. We just not that close
2. It hasn’t been the right timing

Then again, I could be over-thinking things, which is not unusual.

Anyway, back to the purpose. My heels have cracked people. For the very first time in my life, they have cracked. I didn’t realize they were so dry as I am fairly consistent with the whole moisturizer thing. Then I was walking around the yard yesterday- tending to various aspects of the outside of The Mill, barefooted as per the norm- and my heels started burning!

They haven’t bled and the cracks don’t seem to be overly deep (though I have no idea how bad that can get– Im scared to look at pictures). Is Vaseline enough (cause that is what I already have)? Is there a particular product out there made specifically for this issue that actually works?

I don’t know that I’ll get any responses, so until I do… Vaseline it is!

Have a good Tuesday, Folks.

Quick tip

Sundays, I generally try to stay off the computer as much as possible, BUUUUUTT


I am trying to build a habit here, so this will be a quick tip that I will share. Some may know this already, some might expect it to be true, and for others it will never cross their minds:

When looking for a new stylist (GRR- This is the norm in military life) don’t go back to the one who won’t show you the cut after a blow out, but instead immediately reaches for the flat-iron to put in those “beachy waves” you never asked for.

I’d invite you to ask me how I know, but I don’t think I have to.

Got a trim on Friday and back to my natural hair color (cause that fun cherry red from October doesn’t look so hot at the end of July– especially considering lots of pool time in there) and was reminded of this standard I’ve set. I won’t be going back to that particular lady.

And the search continues!


P.S.

I have been informed that I should ask for participation— SO!

If you want to share a tale proving the effectiveness of said tip (or to disproving it) Feel free to do so in the comments 🙂
