April showers bring...

Oh, how I love spring break!  I go to bed at 10 p.m., and wake up at ten a.m. the next day.  And, because I have the best parents ever (and I am not just saying that because they read my blog!), I am not forced to cook my own food.  Because putting that home-cooked food that my mom freezes for me when I am at school on a plate and into the microwave is really exhausting.  But anyway, spring break could not have come at a better time.

As you may or may not know, I ended up being an RA Alternate.  I am still desperately hoping that an RA will drop out and I'll get called in to take their position.  One thing I'm not sure of, though, is if I am automatically considered first to be an RA for my junior year, by being an alternate for my sophomore year.  I hope so.

Sooo, On Wednesday morning, I got a perm!  AAAAH!  I know, the word 'perm' conjures up visions of old ladies with blue hair, but I had just gotten tired of my long, straight hair, and it was time for a change.  And what better way to celebrate a new 'do than to get all dressed up and take pictures?

Apparently there is something really fascinating over there.  :)  I lurrrrve my curly hair!  In the pictures, it's brushed out into fluffy waves, and if I just comb it while it's wet, it's in a lot of loose spiral curls.  I don't know how many people who read this are in the Honesdale area, but if you are, I got my perm at Apple Day Spa, with Gretchen.  It took abut three and a half hours to do, and all the girls who work there were really friendly and it was a lot of fun.

In other beauty news, I have finally, finally discovered what works for my skin.  And it makes perfect sense.  Goat milk soap!  I'm allergic to cow's milk, so I drink goats' milk (from my very own goat, milked by my dad) and whenever I'm home and drinking a lot of goats' milk, my skin gets very soft and clear.  The soap I'm using is Canus Fragrance Free Goat's Milk Soap, found at http://canusgoatsmilk.com/eng/index.php/Bar-Soap/canus-original-bar-soaps.html .   It leaves my skin feeling clean, but not tight, and while it says frangrance-free, the soap has a slightly creamy scent.  I've been using a bar of goat's milk sop at school and then this soap at home for a total of about two weeks.  I'll definitely continue to use this, it's working out very well.  Yay!  You can purchase it for $2.29 at CVS.

Spring always makes me want to run around in sweet, flouncy clothing, especially dresses.  Some of the cutest I've seen are at http://necessityisthemother.etsy.com .  The shop sells adorable pinafore-style jumpers and skirts.  Here are my two favorites!  I want to learn to ride a bike just so I can wear this jumper while carrying flowers in a basket on the front of a pastel yellow bicycle.

This is the cutest (and least trendy) way that I've seen to wear the buff-check that's all over the place right now, for those of us who wore it first!  :)

Phew.  That is enough for one post.  More to follow!
