The Olive Oil Treatment.

Last night i was looking at my hair and was like WOAH BUDDY it is DRY as heck. Too much curling and flat ironing =X A big NO NO i know, but you don't want to see my with my hair not done =P I have tried this Olive Oil Treatment before so i decided to share with those who have never heard of it before and want to try it out. I used about 1/4 cup of oil because my hair is LONG O_O (Be careful with Virgin Olive Oil because your hair will smell like Christmas trees while you have it in your hair LOL) START AT THE ENDS AND WORK YOUR WAY UP! You don't really need to put oil at the roots because your hair has it's own natural oil. Plus it will get really oily and gross up there. You can brush the oil evenly through the hair. Pin it up, or put a shower cap on. I left the oil in my hair overnight, but you can do it for just a few hours or whatever. I say the longer the better =) Then afterwards you wash your hair out with shampoo. It may take a wash or two to get all of it out. You won't need to use conditioner cuz duhh you just soaked it in Olive Oil, but if you want to i won't hurt. Bing bang boom your hair will feel silky smooth. I can't stop touching mine O_O lol. Oh and Olive Oil is awesome on the skin. So if you wash your hair out in the shower you are giving your skin some num nums too!

Heidelberg, Germany



Just when i thought Bernkastle was my favorite place along the Mosel river, Germany slaps me with Heidelberg! This place gorgeous. Huge walkplatz. Gorgeous castle with a stunning view. It's seems really laid back here as well. You see hundreds of people sun bathing, playing frisby, paddle boating, along the river. Super pretty. Also i have never seen so many people with bikes!!!! Everyone and their mom has one. Their bike lanes are jammed with people lol. I guess it's the best way to get around because their side streets are pretty dang tiny.

Schneeballen...We had never seen these before and decided to Google it before we bought it. They said it's a popular Germany pastry...Ummm yeaaaaaaa not so great. It's just like a balled up cookie -_-

While daddy and Vash were getting some Schneeballen i let miss Aubrey run loose, and she went straight for the pigeons. She kept everyone around her very entertained. There were even Asian tourists snapping pics of her lol.


And we all know that when you want to get up to a Castle you gotta hike up a steep hill! Great exercise ;)


I have an obsession with bikes next to doors! This is my favortie. I will be framing this ;)

He Did It!!!



Craig has passed his AF PT Test! Yay!!! It feels like a tremendous amount of weight has been lifted off our shoulders! Many of you might say, big whoop, he passed his test. It's not like that. Hubby has had issues which made him unable to pass his previous tests. We were down to his LAST CHANCE at it, or we would be kicked out! I was freaking out, because that would mean NO ALASKA and we would have to move back to Vegas. NO WAY IN HECK i want to move back to Vegas! Not so much of a big whoop now is it? For the last 5 months he has been busting his ass off. Working out every chance he gets and going on a really ridiculous diet, basically starving himself. Yesterday was our actual first family dinner together in months! Guess what we had? BBQ son! lol. Now just because he passed does not mean he will go back to his old ways. He will be eating healthy and exercising as usual. So far he has lost a total of 20 lbs! He wants to lose 10-20 more i believe. I told him okay, just don't get all anorexic skinny like how he was in BT...ewwwwww. lol. I will be joining him with this as well. I need to get toned up, BADLY! I am very proud of him. Now we can stop worrying about this crap and move on to worrying about our big move back to the states!

SPIN PINS!

I have a super hard time putting my hair in a bun. My hair is very very thick, and if i use an elastic it usually falls out. Or if i use bobby pins i have to use a MILLION of them to get my hair to stay up. And i usually end up expanding them to the point where the pins won't hold anymore. BUT a super awesome friend told me about these Spin Pins that work WONDERS!!! They hold my hair up super super well. I am actually sitting here shaking my head making sure it's not falling apart, and it isn't!! love love love these things. They look a little weird .When i first saw it i was like wth?? How is this suppose to hold my hair up?? But sure enough it does! I HIGHLY recommend this product!!! Especially for these hot summer days! =)
