I want butterflies

Sometimes life is weird.
Sometimes life is funny.
sometimes life is wrong.
sometimes life is plain unfair.

Ok. What I am about to share is not that deep but I was somewhat in the zone.

I love butterflies! They remind me if my childhood. We use to have a bush of purple flowers in our backyard where butterflies would come dance and play.
I adore watching them.

Since city life doesn't really give the luxury of garden and such, I made my own.

I have herbs pot, hibiscus with purple bush around them. I wanted to attract butterflies... they never came.

Until this morning, I walk outside to check on my herbs to find that my parsley were infected with caterpillars. Big caterpillars, small caterpillars, caterpillar's eggs all over.
I wanted spray them away, then I remember they might morph into butterflies pretty soon.
So I held my breath and let them eat away at my tender parsley bush.
3days later I checked again they were gone! Leaving half eaten parsley stems.
and their little creeping self no where to be found!

Darn ingrates! They could at least say: "hey! Thank you for your hospitality, we're going in our cocoons now, we'll fly by you later "
Does this sound like some people?
All I wanted was some darn butterfly!

Green nails anyone?

My new crush is nail polish!

Unconventional Hair growth methods for natural hair

I came across a post about women taking prenatal vitamins for the sole purpose of growing their hair. 

Is the idea reckless, excessive or just plain wrong?

I would say neither, because first of all a woman is entitled to her own hair regimen, second of all prenatal vitamins are just vitamins supplement.

 Supplement being the operative word... the do not replace the nutrition that one should be getting from good food.

If your body is not getting the necessary nutrient then when you take a vitamin you body is going to hijack the nutrient for higher purpose like feeding your vital organs.

The body only care for outside (hair, skin, nails) after the insides are taking care of. 

That's the reason why you can sometimes evaluate your overall health just by looking at your hair and nails.

As for me, I'm not discipline enough to keep up with daily vitamin intake. When I was pregnant I had to program an alarm on my phone, a secondary one on my outlook, and a sticky note to remind me to take them. Now I just can't see myself popping this giant pill just for the sake of growing hair.

One thing that I will do: stock up on banana, avocado, mangoes, papaya, blueberry, strawberry, collard green, eggs, whole grain food that strengthen my system.

Yummy good food oh YES! now if I get some hair in process (Which I will!) that's just bonus :-)

Do you use unconventional method to grow your natural hair?
