~In Loving Memory of Baci~

[IMG][link]

I have had Baci since I was seven years old. We got him for Christmas. He was the cutest softest dog in the world. He was a big goofy dog. He still thought he was a puppy. Even at 100 pounds he'd still curl up in your lap and look at you with those big puppy eyes. He was the only thing besides a Louis Carroll poem that you could use silly words like galumph to describe. He was adorable. He passed away this morning from a major stroke and seizure on our back porch. Twenty minutes of unsuccessful CPR and we knew he was gone. He was creamated at the vet this afternoon.

Okay so everyday I wake up and my parents and brother are at work so I'm stuck alone in my house. Usually I'd go over to a friend's house to keep me from going insane but they've been busy so I've kinda gone a little crazy and girly. The two go hand in hand. Here's some beauty/ prettyness/ hair dye tips:

Stick avacado or its oil in your conditioner to make your hair extra soft. Allow the conditioner to sit in the hair for a minute or two before rinsing it out especially if hair has been bleached and dyed alot. It will make the hair healthy again. Trust me, 1st hand experience.

Put (a buttload) of sugar into your bodywash to make it into an exfoliant. Or use ground oatmeal for exfoliant/ mask, but it dries you out so don't leave it on long.

For dyed hair use baby shampoo to prevent that hott pink from fading. Only wash every few days. Inbetween you can take baking soda or baby power and allow it to soak up oils, then comb it through.

NEVER EVER use Elmers glue or Knox gelatin to put up a mohawk or liberty spikes unless they are super tall. Otherwise your hair will fall out. Try using hairspray and a blowdryer.

Put deodorant over skin irritations like razor burn to soothe pain and reduce redness.

Put honey over zits to make them shrink overnight. Benzoyl peroxide and hydrogen peroxide will bleach clothes and bedsheets.

Don't use those brown bottles full of hydrogen peroxide to dye your hair at home. It will eat it away or frizz it to death.

Add some of your hair dye to your shampoo and conditioner instead of buying the exspensive color restoring shampoos.

You know those Oxypads for acne? The generic brand have waaaaay more of the actual medicine in it. They also are great for removing stains if you get them fast.

Guys razors are better. Especially if they have more blades.

For super sensitive areas you plan on shaving (head, bikini line, sensitive skin) use conditioner instead of shaving cream.

Suave is way cheaper and actually works just as good as exspensive brands. Not kidding. If you want to make it moisturizing add body lotion. For dyed hair, add lotion and some of your hair dye. Stronger scent, add extract or powder. It's great for salt and sugar exfoliants.

Eyebrows everywhere? Use lip balm to hold them in place.

Waxing? Teeting ointment, or try Oragel. Sports pain creme.

Canker sores are a bitch. Get some Listerine (has to be anti-septic) and rinse mouth for 60 second twice a day.

Toilet seat liners don't actually protect against germs. (Ecoli can get through 7 layers of toilet paper!) But they work as great blotting paper to remove oil from your face.

Yeast and lemon juice will absolutely destroy huge pimples.

Peppermints help prevent puking. Same with soda water.

Superglue works way better than bandaids.

NEVER USE HOT WATER TO REMOVE A STAIN! Only cold water. Hot water sets in the stains to the fabric. Rub in some salt to remove bloodstains.

When you burn your self take a towel and wet it with luke warm water and hold it against the burn. If you use ice it will blister. Then smear ketchup on it.

Gargle vinegar when you have a soar throat. Then brush your teeth please.

Listerine works for nail infections too. And on broken blisters. God bless Listerine.

Hiarspray kills bugs and spiders almost instantly. It also seals floor and window areas where they get through. Oh and hairspray works wonders for holding organic gauges together when combined with glue that refuses to dry.

White vinegar heals brusies and hickeys. Of course black eyeshadow and some matte concealer can be used to fake bruises.

Nylon stockings can be rubbed on doedorant patches on clothes to remove them.

Okay I'm out. I don't know anymore.
