Our first plant!

One task that's been particularly difficult to achieve is growing a house plant here. Mostly because we're new and don't know where to look for such things. I've got my Amazon wishlist full of seeds and planters and kits, but then not knowing where to obtain soil, there they have remained. I saw a few plants during our first visit to the Sunday market, but a lack of cash and general wariness about them prevented me from getting them. But I think it turned out well because we finally went to the mall! I'll talk more about the mall in a later post (I want to get more pictures), but there's a store there that has some nice plants. We chose the one below!

It's growing up so fast!

I also have no idea what kind of plant it is, but it was healthy looking and a nice size to put on the shelf. I think for our next trip though, we need to get bigger pot and some soil as it seems to be growing well and I'm sure would appreciate the extra grow room.

Since Autumn is soon I'm not so gung ho about getting things to grow, but I wonder what kind of plants they'll have around here if so!

Hair stylin~

I've never really been particularly interested in hairstyles other than what my hair will look like after a cut and without styling, but because my hair is getting pretty long now I've become more interested.
I tried out this style because it seemed easy enough. Just put a headband on and start tucking hair. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, but it looked great once I got the hang of it!

The front looked a lot better than the back.

I'm looking forward to trying out more styles and also to checking out wigs to give myself more of a "full head of hair" look. So much so that my Amazon wishlist has about 10 or so wigs in it (all but 1 under $10 too).
I'm also hoping that I get the hang of it and it opens me up to cosplaying as well!

A turkey among the flowers

The conversation was favorite flowers. My husband had forgotten mine and he tried to trick me into thinking he had a favorite, but I knew he didn't. Then we just started talking about flowers and which ones he liked. I forgot the name of the ones he was talking about. Now I only remember the turkey.

Which one of these is not like the others!

DiY body care

Once I got my computer back I also got back into craftgawker and stylegawker and all those gawks. And also into health and body care. I had been scouring magazines for the best face/body/hair/etc... care because... really I think I was bored. But that aside, I found some pretty easy DiY self that I was happy to try out. Most of the ideas are from here: Paula Parrish blog

Grocery list and also instructions.

I'm glad that I've been saving jars for no real reason. Here's the "cellulite scrub" though I feel like I use it less for actual cellulite and more for the smell. Haha. 

Once there were olives. Now only coffee.

Trying out DnD!

We finally got some version of DnD recently. We wanted to get it before moving to Turkey, but I forget what happened and we just didn't. So we saw some version of it at the store here and decided to get it because it seemed like a good one to start with.

My warriors!

I actually liked it minus the fact that I had to be strategic and fight against someone else. I guess I just don't like confrontation. My husband reassures me though that not all DnD is like this and if we buy another set like the one we have now, we can play it a different way. 

We'll see.

Boop!
