Changes

 Erica drops by to give me her body cream or hairpieces I have commissioned from her. She is the ultimate in make-up and beauty products and has good ideas for the things I want. She has given me a braid that I use either coiled up or hanging down in the back. She made a very nifty headband the looks like my hair has been braided over. 

One day in the temple someone was admiring my hairdo and asked how I was able to accomplish it. I pulled off the clip with the hairdo and told her, "it's easy!" There were gasps and laughter all around me as I clipped it back on. So fun! I remember Grace Kelly and how it was reported that she could have multiple hairdos for all of her different events by putting on different hair pieces. I have found it a great idea for fast good results. 

Erica changes her hair about every two months. She puts in long extensions, then styles it different ways for a month, then cuts it and styles it differently for another month or so and then starts over with something else. When I was leaving for the states, she came over to give me the gifts for everyone, and she had put on blonde extensions and told me it would take a couple of days to braid it all. 

I was happy to see the results when she came back. I keep giving away her body cream to those with extra dry or damaged hands as it really is wonderful. I was sad I'd given my own away just before leaving. While in Charlotte my hands go so dry, because with a new baby I wash my hands all the time. It was a relief to have her bring me some more.

The new do!

It took her a little over three days to braid all of this
