An article that I recently read on nbcnews cited a study which proved Wednesday as the darkest day of the week. "The study, published in Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology, found that people are far more likely to kill themselves in the middle of the week than in the beginning or the end: almost 25 percent of suicides occur on Wednesdays as compared to 14 percent on Mondays or Saturdays, the two days tied for second-highest suicide rates. The study also found if you make it through Wednesday, your risk for suicide plummets by more than half the following day; Thursdays have the lowest rate, with only 11 percent of suicides."
Let's boost our Wednesday a little with a happy list! Here is what has made me happy so far this week:
*Technology makes this possible:
 |
| "Chatting" with Bo via iPhone FaceTime |
*It also enabled my whole family to Skype all together on one video call for Mother's Day (me in ID, sis in TX, sis in MT, bro in Russia and the 'rents in NV).
*The tulips are blooming:
*Having only girls at my movie night on Monday, which means we watched "Burlesque."
*New Shades:
*Finding cookies that are easy to make, delicious and healthy (plus, my date loved them ::grin::). Even though i did feel a little crunchy walking out of the store with the ingredients.
*"So You Think You Can Dance" started yesterday-- and i have a friend willing to record it and watch it with me!
*Picking the perfect long weekend (weather wise) to visit Vegas:
*Getting half way through my novel! 25,000 words baby!
*i am actually successfully accomplishing most of the goals i have set! (updates to come)
*Bubble baths
*FINALLY being done hiring (i am done, right? Please say i'm done)
*My niece (let's just face it...there will be at list one picture of Bo on every happy list i make)

Oh my goodness, Bo is adorable!
I'm curious, how have you substituted coconut oil for hair products? It sounds like a money-saver.

My friend Rubi posted instructions on her blog. She said, "I have really thick curly hair that can get unruly fast if I'm not using the right hair products. Coconut oil is the only product I've been using lately. Here is how:
Thick, frizz-prone hair: I apply a nickle-sized amount of coconut oil on towel-dried hair - starting with the ends, working my way up to the roots and letting it air dry.
Fine hair: Same as above but with a much smaller amount of oil. A little goes a long way.
After a blow out on all hair types: Work a tiny amount in your hands and apply it to your ends to give them a little definition and shine."
I don't have curly hair, but thick and frizz prone, yes.
I'm all over SYTYCD! Wish I was there to watch it with you!
