I'm going to be on Mixed Chicks Chat this Friday!

I wanted to give a quick update on what I've been doing. I don't want it to seem like I've disappeared or anything. I've just been doing most of my work behind the scenes. However, the big news is that on Friday at 3:00 pm PST I will be on Mixed Chicks Chat! I'm really excited! I have been a fan of theirs for such a long time, and it seems almost unreal that soon I will be talking to them. I've been visiting their sites for so long it's sort of like having a book you really love, and one day you find out you will get to talk to the main character (okay, I know, I'm goofy).

Other than that, Jon has been hard at work putting together the structure of the "Ask Teri" page, so that I will be able to offer a selection of questions and answers. This means that if you have a question, you won't have to wait on me to answer it. You'll be able to get the answer instantly, and maybe find the answers to a few other questions you didn't even know you had as well.

As for me, I've been reading lots of ingredients encyclopedias to give better and more comprehensive explanations about what is being used in products. Mostly, however, I've been working vigorously to answer emails from the site. I got behind when I moved, and a few other things came up unexpectedly, so now I'm working to catch up. So if I haven't answered you yet, I haven't forgotten!

Where have I been?

I know it's been a while since I've posted...it's been a hectic couple months. For now I'm concentrating on catching up on emails from the site, adding lots more words and cleaning up the hair care products Ingredients Dictionary, and working on a few more pages to add to the site. I'm still here, I've just been doing stuff more behind the scenes.

Here are some of the pages Jon and I are developing (he does the code-magic that makes the pages I write actually work—you should have seen the idea I'd had for the Ingredients Dictionary if left to my own devices: one unimaginably long page with all the words on that. I couldn't imagine how long it would take to scroll down that thing):

Ask Teri: I get asked so many great, thoughtful questions. I feel it would be helpful to create a resource to share them and their answers so everyone who wanted to could learn from them.

Product Reviews: I get asked all the time what I think about other products not mentioned on the site. Here I will be able to post why I like or don't like a product, and it's ingredients good and bad.

Express Your Curls: Useful products adorned with curls and swirls (designed by yours truly) to celebrate the beauty of our curls.

I'll still be posting, but for now I'm mostly concentrating on getting as many resources to you as possible.
