~DIY~ Heatless Hair Curling Tutorial!

NOTE: THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WORKED FOR ME AND IT WAS SOMETHING I FOUND ON OTHER PLACES ON THE INTERNET.  I AM NOT CLAIMING THAT THIS WAS MY ORIGINAL METHOD OR THAT THIS WOULD WORK FOR EVERY SINGLE PERSON.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hilo fellow earthlings!  So the night before the first day of school, I tried a new heatless hair curling method and the morning after I was pretty happy with the results.  It was slightly frizzy but once I put some anti-frizz stuff in it, it was awesome.  I'm doing it again tonight (September 4th).  Let's get into it!

1. If your hair is dry, get some water and spray it on your hair until it's damp.  Don't soak it or leave it dry because it won't work that well.

2. Get a stretchy headband (nothing fancy, just one you'd use for gym - and not too thick.  Just a simple, thin-ish one will do) and put it around your head like you're a hippie.

3. Take thick pieces of hair (maybe two or three inches wide, unless you want smaller curls or you have thin hair, then I would advise one inch) and twist them.  (I'd suggest away from your face, but that's my preference.)  Once you've twisted the piece, flip it over and under your headband.  You may find you need to re-twist as you go.

4.  It's okay if it's not perfect or your pieces kind of overlap.  Just do the best you can.  Once you finish, you might end up looking really weird or really cool.  Depends what you think of a hairstyle like that.  Push the headband part that's on your forehead up to you hairline so you don't wake up with a big red mark across your forehead.

Life As You Know It

Hey there, it's Katherine!

          Sorry that I haven't been posting in such a long time. Well there's nothing really I want to talk about today. But I do have some future posts I would love to write about. 

1.    Black Friday Haul (not sure about this one, comment below if you think it'll be a good idea

2.    Advice on school (friends, studying, etc.) and other advice and tips

3.    Rant on something, anything really

4.    Journal reading with Katherine

         

          These are some things I would like to write about. It probably won't be in this order but if there is anything you'd like me to write about, comment below or contact us. I will mostly do advice, tips, rants, and hauls maybe, everyday life, and re-writing entries in my journal.

          If you're wondering what my journal would be like, it won't just be a diary but also be writing using prompts. I do love to write. I haven't started writing in such a long time and writing made me feel so much better about myself so I've decided to write again. My journal is based on a diary format but there will also be prompts that I've created or have been taken from sites that I've seen. I will probably do a post explaining my journal stuff before actually re-writing a journal entry.

Bye for now, I'll talk to you guys soon. 

20 Reasons Why School is Awful

*brought to you by Ronni* (Will probably also do '20 Reasons Why School Can Be Wonderful' if I can think of 20 reasons)
Whale hilo there fellow earthlings!  Let's just get into this...

1. Drama.  Self-explanatory.  But if you don't see how drama sucks, you go back and live under your rock because you probably don't face drama and that makes you very lucky.

2. Those fake relationships/friendships.  This kind of goes with drama but let me just explain something.  This doesn't mean if you are in a relationship or you have friends that they're fake or stupid or anything.  What it means is that if you're using someone just to be popular or fit in, I'm sorry, but you've made a dumb decision.  Doesn't mean you're stupid, just means what you're doing is really, really, really stupid and you should stop immediately.  Not only are you hurting other people by leading them on, you're hurting yourself.

3. Homework.  I know that teaching is a hard job, and they have a lot to do every night as well as have a life, but if you're a teacher and you pile on homework (we're talking a LOT of homework; a little worksheet or two is fine), you have made yourself the biggest hypocrite ever.  You talk about having a lot to do when you get home too, which is true.  But YOU can complain about it, and the students can't?  I get that sometimes it's the requirements of the school and that's fine, but don't complain about your work and then yell at students for saying it's a lot of work.

4. Those people who think that gym is the Olympics.  It's fine if you push yourself to do the best, but don't throw a hissy fit and a pity party a time that you don't succeed.  Not one Olympic athlete has been perfect every time so don't think you have to.  And don't think others have to either.

5. The people who try to be "hipster". It's not bad to be a hipster or anything, and I don't want too seem offensive, but I'm just saying that it's obvious when you try too hard to be "hipster".

6. Waking up at the crack of dawn.  Some people think that getting up at 7 or 8 is bad, and I'd probably say the same thing, but I will have to wake up at 5:40 this school year.  And I am a night owl too, so I can't just go to bed at freaking 10:30 PM like that.

7. Those teachers that go beyond pushing you hard.  It's great to have a teacher that pushes you to be the best you can be, but we've all seen that teacher that expects too much of you to the point where you worry they'll murder you if you get something wrong.

8. Those really strict teachers that don't let you go pee.  I'm sorry, but since when was it SUCH A BIG FREAKING DEAL to go pee?  And what if you have your period?  You want us to just sit there until we sneeze and end up in a blood bath?  I don't think so! It's school, not a camp site.  We can't just pee in the corner because people will see that there's no tree or bush.  Seriously teachers, you and I both know that when people ask to go to the bathroom, their bladder's about to explode.

9. Those kids that think getting high on the bus is cool.  Self-explanatory.

10. Those awkward moments where someone's butt is in your face. Self-explanatory.
