** From the camera **
I have been fighting myself with finding a 'new' hairdresser, not sure when prices became so outrageous but Geez'O'Pete! Since deciding I wasn't spending 150$ plus on coloring my hair anymore I just haven't gone to get any kind of trim or cut. The curls have a mind of their own and I was tired of the length. So... needless to say It's short, and not completely even all over. But it's off my neck and will grow back to a more manageable length in no time. Yes I'll look for a hairdresser, Yes I'll start going [sigh].
** On my prayer list **
Our Country.
** Reflection` **
If disappointment sneaks back into your brain, throw it out. Remind yourself how great your life really is.
I shopped my pantry this week as well. Trying to do better with my unnecessary spending over here but balancing it with trying to buy ahead for the holidays a bit (not too much, just taking advantage of clearance sales for things my sons need like shorts...hoping it will eventually be shorts season again!). Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteI started cutting my own doing Covid. But call a local beauty school and see if they offer service. Mine did and it's very reasonable by senior students. Have a great week 😀
ReplyDeleteI haven't been brave enough to cut my own hair, but I do color mine on my own, as I can't justify spending that much, when I know I can do it myself. I love that the Chicago shows are back!!! Shopping your own pantry is so rewarding. Its time for me to do some restocking of mine. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSince covid my hair is uncolored... and I go for a trim every 3-4 months... I think it's time haven't gone since October. Hope dentist went well. have a great week
