I'm a "no-reply" blogger because...

... I am lazy. I have gone through the process to fix my account at least 6 times. Unfortunately, my account continually reverts back to the "no-reply". I never find out about it unless one of my blogger friends tell me.

  I've given up and my workaround is to just leave my email in all my comments. That has worked well and I've actually gotten emails back from bloggers where I've commented.

  If you're "no-reply" you could do the same as me. Or you could go back in and "fix" it once every other month. You're welcome to enjoy the random photos as well. I really can't have a post without something.

 

Inluenster Voxbox by Herbal Essences

I would like to thank Influenster for giving me this box and let you know that these are my opinions. I received this box for free and am sharing my thoughts. This is my second box and so far my favorite.

The box had a full size of Herbal Essences Dry Shampoo, a travel size of shampoo and a travel size of conditioner. These products are meant to be super conditioning and I noticed. 

I first tried the dry shampoo because I have a laziness that knows no bounds. I've taken to washing my hair twice a week. At first my hair didn't seem too pleased but I don't really notice any more. I want to do the bare minimum but still look presentable. Dry shampoo is great for that because it soaks up the grime and oiliness, which leaves hair feeling clean.

I'm not sure why my hair has the waves in it but it does look a lot smoother. I also tried the shampoo and conditioner. I noticed a huge difference from the sulfite-free color shampoo and conditioner I've been using. My hair is so soft and silky. Hopefully, the color won't fade too fast from using this new shampoo but I really like how my hair feels. 

Happy Friday!

Lazybones

I know how to work hard and I don't have a problem with that. I also know how to be lazy and relax. Friday is a good day to feel lazy and relax. The weekend can bring busyness or laziness. I am praying for a lazy weekend because it is well-earned from all the hard work during the week.

Connections

Today’s rating is Positive.

As I think about the last two years of my life, I can see that it was incredibly stressful. What is interesting to me is that the stress hasn’t changed or left but I have been able to change my frame of mind. Generally, I am a positive person but I can’t maintain that focus all the time. If I lose concentration, things can go downhill fast for me.

The only change I’ve made is reaching out to friends and family. Literally, I forced myself to email at least one person or text a different person. I had to force myself to stay in touch because I found that I was too lazy, complacent, and content to stay miserable. Yeah, that doesn’t make sense. I still have challenges to overcome but I am able to make it through with my family, friends, and God.

Thank you Lord for the connections that you have blessed me with. I could not live without relationships.
