* Okay, I get it. Its an outrageously long video. If you are up for it, play it at 1.25, 1.5 or 2x the speed using the HTML5 feature to cut down on the time by as much as half. Step 1) Activate it here: www.youtube.com/html5 Step 2) Use the gear on the video to access the speed settings. 

This was so so fun to compile. A lot of people want questions for tags, awards, interviews, and just Q & A so I decided at the beginning of June to make a list of all I could find. List more in the comments if you want... I might add there myself.

Then I went through and answered each one I had gathered at that time which was outrageously time consuming but also so enjoyable. (Up to about 135 I answered myself and then Ive been adding to the list slowly.)

Just this week, I was nominated for the Sisters of The Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award. I was totally surprised to be tagged but it seemed like a good idea for this.

I feel bad answering them without nominating... but I dont want to miss out on the fun either. Sorry that I dont know enough blogs to link to but these questions are yours for the taking....If you want to use a significant number of these questions, it would be great if you would link back, but dont feel like you have to because many of them I had come across myself .....so I cant take credit. 

1. What color hair do you have? Dark brown. Black in some lighting and it has lighter natural highlights in others. Only I see that part though, everyone else thinks it looks the same as always or darker if thats the case. 
2. What is your favorite pattern? Solids. Its not a pattern probably but its all over my things and I like it that way :)
3. Music, writing, or photography? This is a hard one. Depends. Maybe most often music. Adding to the list Pinterest and books would make the choice even harder. I choose Jesus. There. Cant argue with that. Jesus. 
4. If you could change your name to ANYTHNG, what would you change it to? *shrugs* I am lucky if people remember my real name, changing it would be all sorts of confusing. If I would change it it would be because I would be ultra-techy spy. Not that you would realize I was fooling you.*cough cough* Sometimes I go by maj though online if before I put my real name out there. Its short for majesticgoldenrose
5. Dogs or cats? Cats. All the cats. 
6. What is your worst pet peeve? I have several but none that stand out. The sound of certain people eating, the sound of a turn signal, people that delete there blogs, food touching on a plate, the sound of a vacuum, clothes that dont fit, hair that dont cooperate, my own procrastination habits, carrying too many things but not wanting to leave anything, the way I lose and delete things all the time, when I get a song stuck in my head that wont leave and I cant focus for days and days, people that think I need to be in a relationship to be happy.... thats the tip of the iceburg :)
7. What is your favorite animal? miniature horses, alpacas, cats, elephants, chickens. Cant choose one, I'm like that

(20 THINGS YOU DONT WANT TO HEAR FROM YOUR HAIRDRESSER)

Hello! My Name Is Awkward Teen and I am honoured to be writing this for Kate's Blog (:

For this post i will be telling you 20 things i would absolutely HATE to be told whilst my hairdresser is doing my hair.

As a frequent visitor to the hairdressers (curse.you.split.ends.) I constantly worry for my hair, People make mistakes and although hairdressers are trained, I get scared. A lot.

I am putting the safety of my hair in their hands and if they make even the SLIGHTEST mistake, i will probably cry (and then probably become crazy and spend 20 minutes trying to glue my severed hair onto my head..)

Anyways.... Here's the list! :

Product: Reversible Silk Sleep Bonnet
Seller: AdorabellaBaby 
Etsy Store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AdorabellaBaby?ref=l2-shopheader-name
Rating: 4.75 Stars
Price: $47 USD

Alright so June 4 I got this lovely package in the mail. Beautifully wrapped! 

I had been hoping to use GIF images for this post to let the images speak for themselves a bit.... however Weebly doesnt really like GIF's at all. So slideshows it is :)

I'm sure that many of you are wondering whats the big deal about them, right?

Here's the thing: This is super high quality silk and really great for keeping tangles and bed head down at night. Some of us really need moisture on our hair and this helps keep our hair happy. 

I can wear my hair in braids, down, or in a bun with this on and my hair is perfectly fine. 

The first night I had woken up in the middle of the night. I was very happy that it was staying on. 

I got out my resistance band (at like three in the morning, haha) and was playing with it a bit. Nothing at all fazed my sleep cap.... See?  :)

The only thing holding me back from giving this 5 stars (believe me, I love this and my hair loves this) is that I have a hard time keeping the bow tied. It seems too slippery for my knots to stay tied, but I'm definitely working on it :)

Silly me undid the original knot the first thing I did. Oops :)

I also find that sometimes I get the little tag in front (you can see that below) but its not a big deal and you cant feel it or anything. If you get one and dont like the tag, I'm sure you could safely remove it. 

Finally getting a bow to stay.... All better :)

Because the cap is reversible, you'll see below that I am wearing it most often with the ribbon on the inside. Its making it a lot easier for me, actually :)

Yay for happy hair! 

I am drafting a "This is the right way to grow out your hair" ebook and I believe a quality sleepcap is a must! 

This seller has an abundance of colors so you will definitely want to check out her shop on Etsy. She also sells masks, scarves, and pillow cases if you dont think a sleep cap is right for you. 

(I'd love to know why you wouldnt want this. Youre as cute as you want to be, seriously)
