Your hair color looks really cute in these pictures.
I agree, your hair color is cute.
I especially love the ear candle picture. What the heck is that supposed to do?
I concur with paws and Serin I like your hair color! It looks like a fun Christmas!
massage lotion + love spell lotion + 2 other lotions (massage) = bow-chick-a-bow-wow!
BTW: I like the hair color too.
Thanks guys. :P
The ear candle is like this wax and maybe linen?? funnel that you stick in your ear when you're laying down and light on fire at the top. And it slowly burns lower and lower. As it does so, the smoke is supposed to be drawn up the funnel and create a vacuum as it does this. The vacuum pulls out the ear wax. :P I guess. It seemed to pull some out.
