Who's that girl with the Fake Crown and the curlie ques?

I am currently a broke-ass-biotch. 
Seriously. 
I am. 

I spent $$ on Miranda Lambert tickets (which was a great show, by the way and totally worth all the sweat I produced to see her in concert.).  I spent $$ on this and that and lunch and things are somewhat tight.  So when Saturday rolled around and Chris and I wanted to spend a little time with nature, I knew I'd need a drinking beverage.  What do I LOVE to drink?  Go ahead and guess what the poor-not-so-little-broke-girl- with-too-many-bills likes to drink....Crown Royal and diet coke (or cranberry and lime, but today, diet coke)!  So...instead, what does she get?  Fake Crown, of course!  Honestly at this point in time, I have no idea what the actual name of the stuff is called since it's been in and out of so many coolers that the cheap ass wrapper has long been gone but it's a Canadian Whiskey and a HUGE bottle of the stuff costs the same as the teeny-tiny bottle of Crown....so broke girl, she gets the Fake Crown. 

Now add to that Fake Crown and diet coke, some fishing, some friends and some four wheelers and you have yourself one hot mess!

Saturday morning, Chris and I got our stuff ready to go to the Camphouse for the day/night to fish and hang out with a couple of friends.  As I wandered around the house, I noticed the murky gray clouds forming outside...hmmm, bet the humidity is kicking today...so after my Avachi wash and condition, I go to the vanity where I would normally painstakingly blow dry and flat iron my hair, but not today.  Instead today, I cheat...sort of.  I put some Avachi Kiwi Miracle Oil in my hair and then I put in some B&b gel (WHAT?!?!? It's the first time I've cheated since I started this experiment and...well, read on) and then as it dried a little I didn't like the way it was going, so I went back to the shower, squeezed out a dab or two of Nourishing Avachi Conditioner, put it in my hair and left it.  I left the house with wet hair...oh stop with the shock...I was saving time!

We stopped at our favorite produce stand, got some gas for the truck and turned up Highway 43 towards the camp house...and all of the sudden, we are surrounded by this wall of rain.  It was awful.  It rained so hard that even the people who turned on their flashers AND lights could not be seen. 

But we drove on...and then we stopped at a box and picked up a movie since you can't fish in the rain (technically you can but I will not).  As soon as Chris climbed back in the truck, it stopped raining.  Oh well...The Lincoln Lawyer will wait.  Then we went by the Twice the Ice machine to get Twice the Ice for Half the Price (or at least that's what I like to say...not sure if it's actually true...) and continued our journey to the camp house. 

By now, my hair is mostly dry and has been pulled into a knot on top of my head, a couple of ponytails and a bun.  And it's been down and I've messed with it considerably.  Upon a quick peek at my hair in the mirror before we head to the pond, I see that despite all my fussing, my hair actually looks decent.  Now, at this point, you might say "well, duh, you cheated". 

But I'm gonna go with "It was the Avachi". 

So, anyhow, we went to the pond and fished for a few hours.  We got sprinkled on, we sweated, I laid down on the wooden pier and took a nap, we ran from wasps, sweat some more and then we started drinking.  A couple of friends showed up (4 hours later than we thought, but at least they came) and the drinking continued.  We packed up our bait and tackle and our fresh catch (11 thankyouverymuch bass and catfish) and headed up to the camp house to clean the fish, cook dinner and DRINK. 



Not really sure what type of fish this is, but he seemed to enjoy the Photo session...no worries he lives to swim again (we threw him back to catch another day)



Again, I sneak a peek at my hair in the truck mirror...hmmm, not bad looking but I bet it smells like sweat and fish!!!  And I was right - it did.  But it looked good. 



So we cleaned fish, cooked and ate dinner, drank some more, and then rode 4 wheelers (Kids...don't do this at home!) until 3 in the morning! Would you believe that my hair looked good when we came in?  It smelled atrocious but it had held the curls and even curled a little more.  And I had little ringlets all around my face...my old products would have done that to an extent...but then I cheated so...

Fast forward to Sunday afternoon....we got home only to discover that our AC was not blowing cold air and the temperature in the house was steadily rising.  We had a birthday party to go to for our nephew and both needed showers..."great, this is gonna suck".  Well, Chris is the lucky one.  He shaves his head so he had no hair worries.  But I cringed, thinking "wonderful, now I'm gonna have to go to a family event with funky hair, hmm, oh well". 

So I hopped in the shower, washed more of the funk out, conditioned AND I was heavy handed with the conditioner, using extra and combing it through with a wide tooth comb (that I keep in the shower) and letting it stay in for a little longer than normal before I rinsed.  Then I rinsed and towel dried and added a little more of that Avachi Nourishing Conditioner before heading off to sweat.  I also added some Avachi Kiwi Miracle Oil before leaving the sweat box (aka my house). 

My hair felt amazing!  My hair looked even better! 

So, I guess Avachi is getting some kudos for this weekend on my head, 'cause I was not nice, did not play fair and had less than stellar conditions to work with...and still it was good.  And I got compliments...na-nanny-boo-boo!!
