Modification

So yea I suck at that 30 day thing. I'll get back to it to catch up starting back with whatever day I left off. LOL Just been busy with vacation that I forgot. Anyway the reason of this post was not to discuss my slacking off, or procrastinating abilities. I have been tossing around the idea of stretching my ears. I did the stretching to a 10 g. years ago, I think it was even before Kiarah was born. I would have to start back from an 18g (which is normal getting your ear pierced in the mall type of size), and want to go to a 4...insert gasp here! LMAO I'm actually kinda nervous to hit a 6, because from what videos I watched it seem to hurt like a bitch. But anywho. My first down grade size will be a 16...its so itty bitty looking. LOL I've done a length of research online reading other piercers perspectives. I called a few places locally and talked to the piercer and got their advice (had to act like I was going to come in) and everything equals up to what I read online.

So today I made 3 purchases online and will begin my journey as soon as it all comes in. I ordered a 23 piece stretching kit...this kit includes 14-00g tappers (tapers are a pointy piece of jewelry to help the stretching along) basically you place the taper in your ear and wait a minute or 2, and then slide the plug in pushing out the taper. The kit also included 10-00g plugs...kinda silly if you ask me to have 14g starting tapers but then totally forget the 14 and 12g plugs. So with that said I ordered14 and 12 g plugs off of a website...they will be pink. For sizes 10-4g I will have a black plug. Also in the order with my pink plugs were 3 nose studs...yay. So reading more and more into everything, I came across something called Holey Butt'r, basically its an ear care cream. It contains a bunch of different things. The jojoba oil resembles the skin, so it acts a lubricant to help the taper slide in easier. Then there is neem seed oil which is non toxic and is an antiseptic, anti fungal, antibacterial, antiviral agent, and will act as a moisturizer. And then there is soy was which has vitamins and anti-oxidants. It will help also with moisturizing and softening too.

So yea I am super excited on stretching my ears, its just something I've always wanted to do. Hopefully my packages won't take too long!!! I shall post my stretching journey on my blog...so if you're interested keep checking back! :-D
