Wouldn't be the same without it. I live in the Northwest and can honestly say that it just quit raining here less than a month ago. And! People who are native to the Northwest usually don't use umbrellas. Both my kids ages 3 and almost 2 have rain coats that can be used YEAR round. Thats right. Lots of rain here. I think your yellow rain coat is much better looking than a granny's plastic bonnet. Although, I think both get the job done ;)Yankee Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232347860028449185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-48640339773226759762010-07-15T15:47:26.932-04:002010-07-15T15:47:26.932-04:00How funny Amanda!:) That picture is too funny!:) I...How funny Amanda!:) That picture is too funny!:) I have found the best hairspray for humidity, even rain. It is Garnier Fructis Bamboo infused hairspray. Da bomb of hair sprays. I have been hot rolling my hair because I have minimal hair time each day now. I just finger comb spray and set and it stays really well! Even keeps my hair straight on humid and rainy days:)katiegfromtennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703849303062043642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-12025295062333674922010-07-15T07:25:42.144-04:002010-07-15T07:25:42.144-04:00This was too funny.

I have yet to take the plunge, but three girlfriends with unruly hair have and it has been LIFE CHANGING (is that too dramatic for hair talk). We were working in Australia in monsoon rain and I looked like a drowned rat for a week - my girlfriend didn't have a hair out of place the entire trip. On another hair related note a group of us were in Irvine this weekend and in addition to devouring the words the Lord spoke through our Siesta Mama - we all agreed your moms hair has never looked better - both color and style are a home run! :)Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952988181392832790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-70368823954924498332010-07-11T14:50:31.690-04:002010-07-11T14:50:31.690-04:00After getting soaked over and over again while try...After getting soaked over and over again while trying to get two kids into church by myself with a stroller and diaper bags and all that mess, I finally broke down and started wearing one of those old lady rain bonnets.

I have extremely straight hair, so I feel your pain in fixing your hair to look good and then stepping outside for a mini-second and all your hard work going up in humidity. But instead of mine poofing it falls straight and limp, hugging my head. I graduated in 1983 so I'm a big hair girl, at least needing a little height on the top anyway.

In college, my friend's cousin got on the phone and said, "Get off, I need to call so-and-so, she's in Palacios." And we both went, "Why? What's wrong with her? Is she okay?" We thought "in Palacios" must mean, like, she's "in a fix" or she's in trouble. So now, we still say, "Man, I am IN.

Ever since I read that blog post about your anniversary trip, your mention of "wrangling (your) hair into submission" has haunted me. I've thought about that a lot. <br /><br />I KNOW.<br /><br />Anyway, I feel the need to tell you and your other blog readers about one of my best friends, the hair product that I truly feel is a gift from the Lord. TRULY. <br /><br />I, too, have enough hair for three people and it tends to expand and fuzz as the humidity increases. I stumbled upon a straightening balm made by Lanza. (I've linked it below for you). It doesn't make your hair feel goopy or greasy when it's dry. AND it has proven over and over to help my hair withstand humidity. Granted, Charlotte is no Houston, but it is still quite humid here. VERY humid. <br /><br />Even though I usually keep my hair just below shoulders, I still get it thinned, texturized and everything'd. That might help the product work better, too. I dunno.<br /><br />All I know is that I might cry if they ever stop making it. <br /><br />Hope you can give it a try and that it works!<br /><br />Here is the link to the product. You can purchase it at salons and places like Ulta:<br />http://www.lanza.com/products/display_products.sd?iid=56&catid=5&loc=show&headTitle=%20-%20Smoother%20Straightening%20Balm<br /><br />Hookin' A Siesta Up,<br />Joy from NCJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694701323753214786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-58870647520421500102010-07-09T10:11:07.477-04:002010-07-09T10:11:07.477-04:00I also live in Houston and have lots of hair (alth...I also live in Houston and have lots of hair (although not as much as before child-bearing years!)<br />I have found (through a friend) a miracle product- Garnier Nutrisse Anti-Humidity Smoothing Milk. It is greatness in a bottle. I just put on a dollop and comb through after my shower, then blow dry and straighten. It really does work! And it costs about $3, so it's awesome all around.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04545227096651166019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-60915961495794622012010-07-09T09:48:15.767-04:002010-07-09T09:48:15.767-04:00I submit that amazing picture should now be your p...I submit that amazing picture should now be your profile picture.
