water and ‘no poo’… say what?

This is my honey Gary! Isn’t he adorable! He would not be happy about me writing that sentence, but it’s so true! He’s also obsessed with aliens, so much that it occasionally takes over his life and he spends days glued to his computer screen reading every little bit he can find. When we found these aliens on the boardwalk in Venice Beach he was ecstatic. I took so many photographs of him and his two alien children. Did I ever tell you, he thinks I am an alien? He always says, that is why he is with me… So there you have it, I am an alien.

I apologize for not keeping up with my daily entry. Thanks for the concerned emails. I have just been so busy. I am almost finished with my new website! Every single moment that I am not at work, or doing a photography job, I have been spending on that site. I have learned quite a bit about CSS and HTML and am quite pleased with the results. I am still wanting to make a few changes and a couple of the pages aren’t finished yet. I have updated our wedding and portrait packages and I think we are offering more unique options than ever before! Take a look and let me know what you like about it!

I don’t want this blog to become to lengthy but I wanted to highlight a few amazing moments from the past week:
*I have been religiously drinking one gallon of water a day for about three weeks now. I have just finished reading this incredible book on water, You’re Not Sick, You’re Thirsty, By Dr. Batmanghelidj. His website The Water Cure, will blow you away. Any disease or sickness can be cured with water! I believe 100% in natural and holistic medicine and this book answered all my questions. Ever since I started drinking copious amounts of water my stomach stopped hurting! I have a very positive feeling that I will soon be able to eat pizza and pasta once again!
*I have also not washed my hair in over three weeks! Last summer I read about this idea of ‘no poo’ meaning ‘no shampoo’ and kept wanting to try it, but was hesitant. I thought my head will be all itchy, my gorgeous hair might not be so gorgeous anymore… what if I smell????
About 3 weeks ago, I decided to just go for it! The first week and half, my hair was pretty gross, but I hid it with pony tails, scarves and hats! About a week into the project I rinsed my hair with just water… about 4 days after that I washed the crown of my head with baking soda and dipped my pony tail in vinegar. My hair was lovely! I had no idea what was going to happen! Now about every 4-5 days, that is my routine. I have completely phased shampoo and conditioner out of my life! I have long, dark brown, curly hair. My curls are beautiful and soft! If you are now super curious, you can read about it here, here, and here. Enjoy!

*Life is great! We had three photography jobs last weekend and I had some wonderful ideas that I am starting to put into place. We shot a wedding on a golf course and I experimented a little with my pinhole camera and am anxious to see the results.

*Jessica if you’re reading this, I just wanted to say I hope you are doing well and that your surgery was as pleasant of an experience as it could have been. I am so happy that we have been spending so much time together. You definitely bring some sunshine into my life! Also, thanks for introducing me to so many amazing new people! People I pass by all the time in City, now I know who they are! Get well soon my friend! I am thinking of you!

Well, that is all for today… Each day for about a week I was keeping a log in my head of all the things I wanted to mention when I got around to posting my next blog, but, now they seem more like pleasant memories that I don’t really need to share.
