Yessssss. Yes this.

This comment is everything and I have never been so immediately charmed. I am delighted and also a little embarrassed because I absolutely sang the turtle a song. It wasn’t so much a lullaby as it was just “Turtle, I love you, you’re a turtle, look at you turtle, you’ve got a turtle face, turtle friend, turtle turtle…

I... this might be my incoming lady time talking, but this made me cry? I don’t know why. Thank you for this, I’m so interested. Do you have any reading suggestions on how I could learn more about it?

Yes! I’ve just been getting into no-heat styling. My hair looks best when I work with the natural curl, so I’ve been air drying and then wrapping it around a soft headband overnight, and in the morning I get gorgeous big curls without any of the heat or work. I was sold the first time I tried it. I haven’t grabbed a…

Hope you find something that works! When I was a kid, my mom just slapped some pigtail braids in my hair and called it a day, and I didn’t really learn how to deal with my hair until I was an adult. I love that you’re thinking about how to best deal with her hair now! Such good mom-ing.

Ooooo, these are great suggestions that are also full of smells I like. Ginger! Rose hips! Yes, please. Thank you!!

We’ve got great and moderately frustrating hair.

Sometimes, on foggy nights, lighthouse caretakers hire me to stand on cliffsides to shine where lighthouses cannot. YOU’RE WELCOME, SHIPS.

Thank you! I am actually blushing, that’s such a nice thing to say. <3 <3 I have pale ghost skin that didn’t even turn pink during my 2 week vacation because I slathered myself in spf so high I think it was basically opaque vaseline.

I have never ever done this and I feel like my hair game is about to change for the better.

THE BIG ISLAND. Not maui. I’m so tired. There be turtles and Mantas at the Big Island.

OH MY GOD I’VE BEEN SAYING MAUI THE WHOLE TIME BUT I MEANT THE BIG ISLAND. I was showing my husband and he was like, “Uhhhh, we were definitely on the big island what are you talking about.” So, ignore the Maui part, which I went to and it was nice, but the big island is where the turtles be at.

It’s such a teeny scar, but it works so well for story telling because it really adds some depth when I tell the story in person.

I am very glad it made you laugh. If I can’t make people laugh with failed blow jobs, then what is the point, even? Also, so people can learn from my mistakes. Don’t do what I did, kids.

I am just full of feel-goods right now, thank you so much. If I might turn this around to you, and say that similarly, you have been nothing but kind and welcoming and encouraging, and so it resonates when you, who demonstrates empathy and kindness in prolific amounts says something so complimentary. You’re the tits,…

“...for which I as tempted to ask just to waste some of Carly’s resources...”

Oh fuck, these are so good. I’m agog. I definitely would like to hit you up for a commission, if you’ve got time. Are you still doing them? Is the price breakdown the same as it is on the page you linked?

Everything about your suggestion and link are fascinating and also gives me an excuse to buy several shampoos and conditioners and I am pro-doing that. Thank you so much! I’ve gotten so many good suggestions, now I can buy several things and it won’t be wasteful, it’ll be SCIENCE.

This is such a nice thing to say, I appreciate it so much. If it works out, I’ll buy everyone pizza and tell you all where you can watch my face on TV. And if it doesn’t, I’ll eat pizza and cry on SNS. Either way, there’s pizza so I feel good about it.

I have NEVER thought to towel dry before putting conditioner in. Is that a thing? Am I showering wrong? I am learning so much.

That sounds excellent! I love being surprised with a really healthy pour, but the little carafe is like a beautiful extra treasure. Magical.
