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. :)
