Ah Pinterest....FAIL!


So I'm one of millions that feverishly pins on Pinterest and always have good intentions to try things. I've baked some cupcakes and made some desserts, but since I'm re-doing my Master bedroom I've been looking for DIY stuff and once I start looking on one board, it leads to another which in turn brings me to my Pinterest fail. I have long, thick hair. I wear it straight or I curl it which hot tools (hee hee hot tools!) so needless to say my hair takes a beating. I only shampoo it every other day to keep it from drying out too much. But then I found a pin that took me to this website...Olive Oil hair treatment. I mean look at her hair, it's fabulous when she's done! I mean now that I look at it, it's not the same girl. Ah crap! Oh well, I grab the EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and warmed it up and proceeded slather it all over my hair, great use for my $10 olive oil, but I digress. Add a bun and a some saran wrap and I was good to go for a while. All this time on my hands now that I'm finished with school and I end up in oil and saran wrap, ahhhhh.




I left it on for an hour and found some other stuff to do, fold some clothes, watch some Undercover Boss and may have pinned some more stuff. Now being that I have a Master's degree now and I'm wicked smart I knew to shampoo my hair BEFORE you get it wet. I meant oil and water don't mix! I shampooed it and it did feel smooth but that could have be the layer of oil on my hands. So I went ahead and conditioned it really well too. So I get out of the shower towel dry my hair and I couldn't really tell a difference when I was combing it. I blow dried it on low heat and it felt softer. I didn't want to ruin the reveal for myself so I did it away from a mirror. Now in my head it was going to look like my friend Carrie Ann's hair, it's ALWAYS shiny and nice and well you can see by the picture that well it pretty much looks the same as it always does. And really it wasn't even THAT shiny. Sigh. So I guess I could say it wasn't a fail since it didn't say MIRACLE HAIR SERUM! But I did click on some others and they all said the word shiny so to me that's a fail. 



























In other news, I'm going to blog more! I'm going to blog about my whole bedroom re-do, summer races and graduation!! WOO!!
