Hello, Wednesday.

I had to open my iCalendar to double-check what day it is. 

I got my hair cut & colored on Monday. I tried to take a self-portrait to document it, but it just felt silly. That's the best I could do. Hello, camera. 

But I like my hair. I love it, really. I've been on a quest the last 6 months for a more reasonable hair option than my beloved Bradley. I've been going to him for almost 4 years. We're facebook friends, and it makes me sad every time I see one of his crazy updates. He's really fun. He's so good. I just can't keep up with his truly exorbitant prices. Like Mike said once, I could fly to Washington, visit my parents for a few days + get my hair cut for less than what he charges. 

I found a girl at the Aveda salon on 86th Street. Her name is Lee. She's really nice. We talked about cupcakes for a really long time, & she didn't think I was crazy when I gave a full analysis of the differences (in both cake + frosting) between Butter Cup, Magnolia, Crumbs, Two Little Red Hens, Butter Lane & Georgetown Cupcake. She loves to do color. The price of her cuts only have TWO digits, not THREE, & the color was reasonably priced as well. I look like me, just without poo-brown hair (now it's a pretty brown, with teensy tiny little highlights that don't look like, HELLO, I JUST GOT MY HAIR PINSTRIPED). She also fixed my bangs that were weed-wacked on Saturday. Phew. 

I'm wearing Aveda's tinted moisturizer these days, too. I'm sort of over wearing foundation - even Bare Minerals - right now, especially since the humidity is starting to kick in (72% yesterday). My skin is a lot happier - I think as a result of this, & also I think because I'm using this La Roche-Posay moisturizer. I also love their SPF 15 - & it's one of the few products out there with Mexoryl. My skin has basically been a disaster my entire life, so I'm happy to find a few, simple products that make a difference. The woman at Aveda who washed my hair on Monday said, Your skin is beautiful! It's doing exactly what it is supposed to do & is perfectly hydrated. I've definitely never heard that one before.  The last time someone commented on my skin was when we were in Arizona & the woman who was giving me a facial asked if I ever (ever!) drank water.
