Easter weekend

We had a pretty good Easter weekend. I hope all of our friends and family did too.

Opening Game

Today was RSL's home opener. I love the mood of The RioT. It was amazing weather. The only thing that could have made it better would have been the win. But I will take a tie over a loss any day. The three of us had some of our supporting gear on and we also picked up a couple new things.

* Today I found a benefit to being on the smaller side of the scale. My jacket is a kids XL. The team store didn't have much for women's stuff and the men's stuff isn't flattering at all. I found something that fits and even better.....I got it for the price of kids clothes vs. adults.

Hair schedule

It has been a couple of weeks since I posted anything about my hair growth experiment. I still have not taken any pictures or measurements but thought I would make this post about what I do each week. The Ovation product says to start out by using it 2 or 3 times a week. I didn't normally wash my hair everyday. I have naturally curly hair and straighten it most of the time so the least amount of heat I can use the better. I have never really been a fan of going to bed with wet hair but that has changed. So here is my new weekly routine.

Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday nights I shower at night. I use the Ovation shampoo and the Ovation Cell therapy. I use both of these as directed on the bottle. I get my hair wet initially and then apply the shampoo. I don't really get a huge lather with the shampoo. I let it sit for a min or two before rinsing it out. I try and get as much water out of my hair as possible. I then apply the cell therapy to my scalp. I can't say I have found a good way of getting this just on my scalp before it ends up all over my head. I do massage it in for about a minute. After I massage it from my scalp to the ends of my hair I comb through it with a wide tooth comb. I then twist it up and clip it to the top of my head. I try not to dry it with a towel. Guess I am worried of wiping out everything I just put in. Then I try and get some sleep.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday I get up in the morning and get in the shower. I start by rinsing out the cell therapy. Once rinsed I squeeze out the excess water and then apply the conditioner. I leave it in for a couple of minutes and then rinse it out. I apply a small amount of a coconut oil product all over my hair. I mainly apply this to the top of my head and the end of my hair. (I only put it on these two area to help with my frizz and the prevent damage at the ends. I try not to apply too much because I don't want it to look or feel oily.) My hair is quite a bit softer and smoother since using the Ovation products. I then proceed to blow dry in sections and use a straightener if/where needed.

About time

We just barely received our season tickets yesterday. Just in time for the first home game on Saturday. This girl is pretty excited for the warm weather, the craze of fans, and seeing the boys on the field.

Favorite text this past week

I received this text on Friday when I got home from my trip. It still makes me smile. I wonder what other modes I have yet to experience when these two are left home alone.

On travel

This week I have been on travel for work. Besides missing a few important people in my life I have missed riding my bike. I have been working out everyday while away just so I don't lose what I am working towards. I cannot wait to be back in the comfort of my own home and life.

Reupholstering a little something

Yesterday afternoon my mom called and said she was coming over and needed my help with something. I am not going to lie. I was a little nervous to see what she needed help with. She brought over a seat from a chair she just bought and needed help reupholstering it. It only took about 45 minutes to do.
