I believe age is just a number, that it's all in how you feel, but as I enter the last year of my twenties, I can't help but realize this isn't where I imagined I'd be. I vow to use this next year to take chances, try the things I've hesitated to before and ultimately accept the life I've achieved as I hit the big 3-0, knowing I haven't held back. Wanna come? Let's see what the next 365 brings...

Day 126: 2 hours well spent
Nothing like a day at the hair salon! I love it. I think most women would agree that the couple hours in the chair getting your color touched up, your roots covered, your ends snipped and your style blown out is no waste of time. For anyone with a busy schedule, especially all you moms out there, the 2 hours you get to yourself are priceless. It's all about you and, so long as your hairdresser isn't too chatty, being alone with your thoughts.
And, it's not just the time to relax that's so treasured. I love the progression, from sitting down with my tired, dark roots and split ends to seeing the bounce return and the blonde highlights reappear she blowdries her handiwork. I leave the salon a new woman, revived and ready to take on the world! Of course, in my case, I'm usually headed home to bed, so my ambitions are quelled pretty quickly. But, I'm reminded of my improved do as I hop in the shower the next morning and shampoo. It feels softer, healthier, and it's so easy to do as I blow dry and straighten. It's got new life and for a moment, I feel like I'm a shampoo commercial model with no cares in the world. It's brief, but at least it puts a smile on my face as I head out the door to tackle life's every day issues...with a shiny helmet to shield me. :)
