I'm Going To Splurge

I think this will be my splurge for the month of February...and March too, lol.

I really want to get more into photography, and my Cannon Powershot alone isn't satisfying my hunger.  A guy at my job is a part time photographer, and yesterday, he was talking to me about a variety of cameras...when he started talking about cameras in the thousands, I told him, "I'm not rolling like that, so bring it down for now," lol. I'm finding out that the lenses are the expensive parts, so if I get a good body, then I should be good and just search for lenses as time goes on. I think this Olympus E-600 should be a good starter camera...

...we shall see...

Any photographers (don't have to be professional...just know what you're talking about) out there with any suggestions?

Natural...Ummmmm, I Guess


Organic/natural hair but an unhealthy body…



...I don’t get it.


There is this woman at work who wears her hair natural. She is a “newbie,” and what comes with newbies are being a product junkie. I was one once, and I think every woman who has become natural is one at one point in time (or they will forever be one…I can’t because I have better things to spend my money on)…


…anyways.


She is bragging about how natural and/or organic products are so great, and that she will only use those types of products on her hair. That’s great…however…I have a hard time understanding the concept of being so natural and organic with your hair, yet not with your body. Seriously, using products with mineral oil and other “extremely bad” chemicals are horrible, yet you eat chili cheese fries, fried chicken, and other foods of the like while taking it down with sodas like it’s going out of style.


I find so many women who do the same thing. I guess the saying “You are what you eat” should be modified to, “You are what you eat, but it doesn’t matter if you have great hair.”
