Almost Finished and Crayola Color Escapes!

Hi, guys! The semester is almost over and Christmas vacation is almost here! My vacation begins next Thursday and I am so looking forward to it. I've already started packing my suitcase. I have to finish off strong. I'm almost finished teaching for the semester, and since I co-taught both classes, no grading! Also, I have to get through an annual review. And, I have two exams due this week. For my first final, I designed a research project to test if a coloring app for adult users provided the same calming, creative experience as the printed coloring pages. Crayola has a line of coloring pages, Crayola Color Escapes , specifically designed for adults! They're so much fun, especially with these master tips ! I prefer print--old school I guess; but, I suspect the study participants will prefer print as well. There is something so relaxing about the sound of pencils scratching across paper.

Notice how I threw in the braces? Yup, I'm finally getting rid of one little baby tooth that likes me soooo much it never wants to leave. Then a 12-month stint in the most discreet thing I can get away with, maybe Invisalign or ceramic braces? Fun stuff. Anyway, all my work is being done by the lovely people at Howard University School of Dentistry. They are awesome! I mean it, from the front desk ladies to the residents to the doctors, everyone has been really helpful and nice. To help wind down, I tried a new recipe this week: Curried Quinoa with Chicken and Broccoli . I followed the recipe almost exactly, only swapping broccoli for the peas. Good eats! H...

To Color...or Nah?

I'm thinking about coloring my hair, y'all. If I don't do it now, before my loc installation, then I have to wait until after the locs mature and that could take a year or longer. I've never colored my hair and this seems like a perfect time to try it. But, I want to start with the healthiest locs possible and permanent color is so hard on hair. What should I do? #gah #decisions Hugs and kisses peeps, Bethany
