Elflock


 

I like the letter ‘E’ of all the alphabets. I had umpteen choices of words and great many ideas swimming across my head. I wanted to write about Easter Eggs, Elephants, Eskimos, Emptiness, What not! But something made me shelf all these lovely topics and choose this word Elflock. Guess why?

This morning, in the shower, I witnessed Apocalypse!!!

This is how my hair looks like after it is completely dry. A Velcro manufacturing unit might approach me to discuss their business prospects; I see a great future ahead of me *Sob* *Sob*

I have been trying some hair treatments at home. I smear the magical concoction of coconut oil, olive oil and castor oil which smells more like X - *I don't want to mention it*. After the oil is absorbed and half of it covers my face, I put on the highly recommended special hair mask. The ingredients for the mask are - Egg whites (3), Thick-set yogurt(one small cup) and the juice of 2 big lemons. This one certainly smells better. After washing all of this off and emptying the water tank, I dry my hair naturally with a soft turkey towel. Finally, I look at the mirror hoping my hair would look divine like this:

or at least like this Smurfette:

But, this is what I actually look like - A Frizzy Fizz:

My encounter with bad hair days is getting so monotonous that I thought I will share and vent out some.

 

Do people really have hair like Merida, Rapunzel, Medusa, Princess Jasmin and Smurfette?

Do men have bad hair days?

    Very interesting. I don't think men have bad hair days - they not only have short hair but also 50% of them are like Kojak.

    I'm a little bit jealous that you have that much volume and body in your hair. My hair is straight and flat, I can't imagine how greasy it would look if I put those treatments on it. Doesn't it seem like everyone wants the hair they don't have? I try to curl mine, my sister has curly hair and straightens it.

    I don't think men have bad hair days. Just another thing they don't have to deal with.

      Please don't be unless you like frizzy hair... I definitely agree that everyone wants the hair they don't have. :D But all I wish for is maintainable hair :)

      //Just another thing they don't have to deal with.// :D True that! My brother doesn't even comb his hair, he just brushes it with his fingers and still manages to look cool! :O *face-palm*

A life without pencil erasers?

This morning, I got a good dose of philosophy from the newspaper. It isn’t very often that you get to read unique articles and this particular one definitely made my Friday morning a thoughtful one. It was the ‘World View’ column with the title “Pencil Erasers may be the ‘devil’” that caught my attention. It got me thinking about the process of unlearning taught to us at school. A lot of questions popped up. Why do we hide our mistakes? Why isn’t it okay to make mistakes? Why are we taught to make up for a mistake? Why aren’t we taught to look at the mistake and learn from it? Why do we erase a mistake? Why aren’t we being naturally ourselves? Why do we need an eraser? The last question is what instigated me to write this post. What if Edward Nairne had not invented an eraser by accident? What if we were never introduced to the concept of the eraser at school! I should admit that the little wad of rubber that undoes all the mistakes made by your mighty pencil is inde...

Diet Horror Story

Food in the time of dieting. This is exactly like love in the time of Cholera, only, here, the love is for food. Your cravings are at an all-time high, you surprisingly become more lazy, you feel anxious when eating out, you are looking up every diet plan there is in the planet, your best friend suddenly looks thinner, your weighing machine needs repair and perhaps you are even subconsciously praying to god to help you shed those extra luggage. It is not because you have started eating a pea less than before that your body feels so weird when you start a diet. No. If you have any of these symptoms , trust me, your body has nothing to do with it. I am not a diet expert or an aspiring model, but I know what I am talking about. I have been through this outrageously pathetic stage of my life during my adolescence when I felt that cringing need to diet when some really jobless people called me a pumpkin, literally. I was too young to reason with myself. I started this tailored diet pl...

Make Up and Me (Not Me)

They say people who don't know to dance have two left feet. Although, I might have two left feet myself, what is more interesting is I might actually have two left hands. Okay, I understand that's funny but here is why: If you are a girl or a boy or a boy who looks like a girl, you would probably know that it is a thing now to have a makeup blog or vlog or youtube channel in your name. I bumped into this world of cosmetics, beauty blogs and tutorials only a few months ago. For those who don't know about it, let me tell you, it is a crazy, ruthless and unbelievable world. Picture sourced from Google Heard of these? Snail slime masks, Placenta hair masks, Seaweed bathing creams, Microblading.... and endless other such insane stuff. These are insane but quite popular among beauty enthusiasts and they even swear by the benefits of such products. These are otherwise cringe-worthy products in my world. I use gramflour+tumeric face mask, Coconut oil hair mask and  a...
