I can’t
help wonder about that. I’ve been using a lot of Splenda for a long time. Despite
this concern, I still use just as much. I should probably just stop using it
because it’s so unnatural. Or at least cut back. My other worry is that my
overpriced hair straightening treatments gave me cancer. Keratin hair treatments. These treatments contain formaldehyde.
“A suspected carcinogen, formaldehyde is a colorless chemical compound with a
pungent and irritating odor.” I never read much about this before I was
diagnosed with cancer because I always desperately wanted my very curly hair to
be stick straight. Very expensive and suspected to cause cancer… When my hair
grows back, I will either embrace the curls or find a less scary way to
straighten it. As far as whatever may have caused the cancer, I guess I’ll
never know and I’d rather not blame myself since it sucks enough just having
cancer.
I finally
finished the iris painting! Well, you can say I finished it or you can say I just
got tired of messing with it. This is where I have decided to stop:
I’ll have
to move on to a new art project of some sort to keep me busy.
