BUBBLE WRAP AND DIRTY HAIR

When we were planning our wedding (sorry, more wedding talk!), one of the things that we slightly worried about was “what if there’s a hurricane?” Technically, October is still hurricane season… but we decided that chances of a hurricane that late in the season, especially one to hit Jamaica, would be slim (we researched it pretty well). So it’s pretty insane that 10 days later, Hurricane Sandy is headed that way!
We are thanking our lucky stars that we didn’t choose the 26th (which was briefly talked about since it is 13+13) and stuck with 13. Just hope everyone who is in Jamaica right now, including our awesome new friends from the resort, are safe.
Speaking of safe, this is Apollo’s new favorite place to sit:
Yep, on top of bubble wrap. He goes nuts for it anytime it’s out, so I left a big chunk out for him last night. He was in heaven. And that string under it? Yeah, his other new obsession — he likes to carry it around the house.
Weirdo.
And just because this might be the most random post ever, let’s talk about hair. I’m not sure if you read Skinny Runner’s blog (check it out if you don’t), but she has definitely mastered dirty hair. Remember when I got my hair cut for the wedding and the stylist suggested not shampooing/conditioning daily? Well, I’m going for it. Today starts a new pattern of hair washing — one day on, one day off. Maybe I’ll finally have that Pantene hair everyone dreams about…
Oh, and I did manage to wake up and run this morning. It has been SO hard readjusting to normal life again, I don’t know what the deal is. Last night I was so exhausted that I couldn’t keep my eyes open while on the couch, even when trying to surf Pinterest. You probably could have offered me a deal like the Trumpster has to Obama and I still wouldn’t have been able to keep my eyes open.
Do your pets have any weird obsessions? What shampoo/conditioner do you use?

I could share 100 strange habits of our pets! Picking one, Kostas likes to nest in dirty laundry.
I just switched to Pantene for curly hair–love it. Less expensive and works well. I also use a deep conditioner once a week and that helps keep my hair healthy.
Funny — maybe because it kind of smells like you? Jax always lays on C's clothes and I read it's because they can smell the scent.
I've been thinking about trying Pantene — they have a new line out that looks really good!
My dog likes to lick the couch?? I use whatever shampoo is on sale, just not the very bottom shelf store brand stuff. I'm not taking very good care of my hair right now unfortunately.
That is so random re: couch licking! Ha, must taste good?! That's usually how I shop for shampoo and conditioner, too!
I've been reading about Hurricane Sandy!! So glad we aren't there now! I do hope everyone at the resort are safe though!
I use herbal essence… expensive but I have tried other shampoos and still haven't found one that works as well.
This is what is in my shower right now… I only buy it if it's on sale
I know!! So crazy!!
Dorrie has these little felt balls with bells in them that she brings to bed with her every night. That bed happens to be my bed, so I'm typically woken up once a night at least by the sound of the bells as my feet hit them. haha. And I'm definitely a wash your hair once, maybe twice a day person depending on workouts. I use Wella, since I have curly course hair. I just don't know if I could master the dirty hair look…
That is too funny and super cute!! Yeah we'll see how my hair looks later today… lol.
I am pretty good at pulling off the dirty hair look. I usually wash and condition my hair every other day. My hair is super fine so I can't go longer than that without looking like a grease ball! I usually purchase the Aveda products from my stylist. Speaking of which- I really need to make an appointment with her.
I feel like I've completely missed the memo on how to wash your hair — hah! Aveda does have good products!
Barkley is obsessed with tug of rope. We started teaching him to grab it by saying 'rope', because it's hilarious to watch him frantically look for it!
I use cheap suave shampoo and usually a (slightly) more expensive conditioner. The last one I bought was Pantene I think, but normally I go with Garnier Fructis something or TreSemme!
That's so cute!!
What you should do to really master the dirty hair trick is try to go two days between washings for a month, and then cut back to one. Your hair gets used to being washed every day, so if you really want to master it, you need to get it 'used' to being washed every THIRD day, and then when you cut back to every other day, your hair will look fabulous that second day. It was hell going through that first month, but I'm so glad I did it.
This is amazing insight!! I totally want to try this now… do you have to redo the two days between washings for a month to recalibrate occasionally?
Yes, but only because I get into phases where I start washing every day again.

I have curly hair that gets dry really easily so I never wash more than every other day- every three days is even better! On the third day, I usually scrunch in some dry shampoo (Tresemme, I think), and it looks just fine pulled back.
I've heard that curly hair can be tough to manage… but sounds like you have a really good formula. : )
I waah my hair every other day, unless I get really sweaty or something. It seems to work better, because I have dry scalp. But I also don't use a lot of hair product, either, just a little hairspray. Good luck with that! Be careful with letting your cat have string, sometimes they eat it, and it can get caught in their digestive tract. Learned this the hard way with my guy, he had to have surgery to have the string removed. He came through it okay, but now he's on a special food for the rest of his life.
Oh no! So sorry about your cat — glad to hear that he is doing OK now though. It's so crazy how they like to eat everything in site! Our other cat ate plastic once… I literally turned my back for a second to grab something else and then pick it up, and in that time he ate it. Ay.
