Hair-spiration

Posted on

I love change. Not when it comes to people, such as friends moving away, but I am a big fan of moving furniture around, trying new restaurants and changing my hairstyle.

As long as it keeps things fresh and interesting.

I love to take risks with my hair and make statements, therefore I have this itching feeling to chop it or perm it.

Ruh roh.

Here’s what’s been inspiring me lately:

Hair 1

1-5- I love short, choppy bobs, but I think my husband would have a heart attack if I lobbed my hair off. Plus, long is so much easier to style (Can you tell this has been a continual argument in my head for a while now? Blerg.)

6-I love ANYTHING and everything that Rachel McAdams does. She’s so gosh darn pretty. If only my hair were naturally wavier…

hair 2

7 & 8-I love the longer layers of Carrie & Rachel’s do’s. Plus I would be able to pull my hair into a ponytail.

9-I’ve never really thought Jessica Biel was that pretty until I saw this picture (plus, she stole JT, so I don’t know if I can ever forgive her), but I LOVE the ombre color she’s rocking and the beachy, long layers with thick bangs (I’m not ready to give mine up).

10 & 11- I love these medium length cuts, especially #11’s waves.

And “The Carrie Diaries” has me wanting to perm my hair so badly. I mean, who wouldn’t want these Goldilock-can’t-keep-your-fingers-out-of-my-hair curls?! So, so, so pretty.

Bedroom Rollercoasters

Last night I got both of my sons to sleep before 8:15pm. A couple weeks ago, they were easily in bed and asleep by 7:45pm. But since the time change and the fact that we put a bunk bed in their room, it’s been a fight to get them to sleep before 10pm! I swear you’d think we put a rollercoaster in their room. A couple days ago, the boys were watching Sesame Street and Liam said to Simon, “Wanna go play on the bunk bed?” Since when does a bunk bed equate more excitement than television?! Bah!!

The Kindness Of A Stranger

Sometimes you are in bed almost asleep at 8:54pm (I know, I know that’s super early and I’m an old fart…laugh all you want) and realize you haven’t turned in your Redbox movie, which is due at 9pm or you will get charged.

Sometimes you jump out of bed in a panic and run out of the house, so you don’t get charged that fee.

Sometimes you pull up to the Redbox machine at 8:58pm and are crushed to see that someone is very slowly picking out their movie to rent.

And sometimes, as you stand there hopping nervously in your pajamas and barefeet, said stranger (AKA my good Samaritan) senses your frantic dance and steps back quickly so you can put your DVD in the machine with a mere forty-five seconds to spare.

Thank you, kind stranger. Your simple act of selflessness made my night.
