The 3 C's: Crocething, Carbs and Curls

Crocheting:
Well, I've not really spent a great deal of time crocheting for the last few weeks.  I found that I just needed a break plus our AC went out and it was just too HOT to be working with yarn.  However, I have been looking at new patterns and making a list of projects that I want to start, soon.   I'm already booked to do a craft show in November.  I was so excited to get the invite in the mail because I truly loved the venue after going for the first time last year. 

Carbs:  Well, I have finally decided that I need to get back to eating fewer carbs and more protein for better health.  I've been away from that way of eating for almost a year now and I am paying for it.  I am also planning to start exercising again.  I had a knee and foot injury last year that really put the brakes on my previously vigorous exercise routine.  I am essentially starting all over again with my weight loss efforts so this should be interesting.  Sure do wish I could conquer this battle once and for all.  Wouldn't that be a dream?

Curls:
Hair!  I have recently discovered this wonderful forum dedicated to people who have or want to have long hair.  My hair is really growing and its been wonderful to chat with others who understand the specific needs of caring for long hair.  If anyone is interested the website is www.longhaircommunity.com.  On to the curls...I recently purchased a Caruso Steam Setter for curling my hair.  I LOVE that product.  Its a safe, non-damaging way to get curls.  It uses steam vs. heat to curl the hair so the hair benefits from the moisture on the ends.  I'm still practicing with it but so far I've gotten some pretty decent curls that hold for about a day without any styling products.

Well, that's is about as exciting as life gets around here these days.  We're just hanging out and enjoying friends and family this summer, which has been really nice.  Hopefully, all is well with all of you.  Till next time......
