I knew when my husband graduated that we would be moving somewhere (we had no clue at the time) for his job. the way i figured it, my degree was pretty much available anywhere so it would be no big deal to continue at a different school.

Boy was i wrong!! the school here in town only offers an accounting certificate, which i have nearly completed anyways. all i would need is a couple of genereal buisiness course and maybe 2 more accounting classes. this would be great if i were content to learn only as much as that. but im not. i want to eventually get my CPA license, and for that i need to have earned a bachelors degree at the least from what i understand.

There is another school a few hours away from us, but from what i can tell, their enrollment requirements wouldn’t allow me to get in. they require you to have taken either the SAT or the ACT. I have taken neither. The school i chose right out of HS didn’t require these, so i wasn’t even interested. and now here it is 9 years later, and i have probably fogotten most of what you would need to take these tests and do well. so tha means the other school isn’t really an option

I have always automatically dismissed the option of online schools. I pretty much figured that they wouldn’t work for me. but i have recenlty started to rethink the whole idea. not getting my degree at an online school means waiting at least another 4 years before i can even start on my degree again. to me that is a depressing idea. i will have forgotten most of what i have already learned putting me right back at the starting point.

an online school is starting to look a little more appealing.

I first tried this when i was pregnant with my daughter. I didn’t want to do anything to harm her while I was carying her, but i hated my roots… plus i’m the type of person that gets antsy if i haven’t done anything with my hair in a while. I gotta say though, I loved it. my hair afterward was healthier than when i started, and the color was subtle. plus a nice herbal, plant smell when waiting for my hair to color is much prefered over the ammonia smell with typical hair dyes

The only thing that I don’t really like when comparing the two methods is that when you dye your hair with other dyes, max of an hour spent from beginning to end. with henna, it has to sit on your hair four a minimum of 4 hours to get the best results.

a few tips for best results:
buy the henna powder if at all possible… stay away from the boxed henna hair dyes. they contain things other than henna that effect your end color.
what you put in your henna paste will change the color you get.
if your hair is dry, try adding an oil to your paste for extra conditioning. (eucalyptus works great)
you can use manythings for the liquid of your paste… lemon juice, weak tea or coffee, or just regular water. i myself have always used plain water, but i have read that the others enhance the coloring process.
