So my friend, and fabulous writer Mommy Melee, uses her honesty and humor in every bit of writing. She hosts these Girl Talk Thursday's and to be honest I feel a little strange even blogging. I am no writer by any means but am a creative being just with clay, paint or graphics. I started this blog for family to see my little boy grow up but she has inspired me to write more! So here goes, please ignore the grammer errors.
My bathroom routine today was VERY interesting to say the least..perfect timing for this week’s topic. I am a shower a day person, i know I know it's bad for my hair blah... but without washing it I can hardly comb it out. The curls knot up quickly, perfect for dread locks but that doesn't seem to convince my hubby.... I think he would cut them off in my sleep. Ya he has long hair and is a musician so you would think he would be down with the locks but nope, no go.
Anyways, two days ago I went all out and made a hair appointment at the new Aveda salon, Beyond. This was big. I haven't had anything done to my hair since I was pregnant and I went for it. I told Taylor I was open to suggestions. He said copper, I said do it! The cut and color looks amazing, big ups T!
I had to take a shower today and normally I take one when the boy is asleep during his morning nap, but today no way, I was dying to comb my hair out. My challenge was how to keep him happy while I take the quickest shower ever. I grabbed three toys he never plays with, sat him on the soft carpet, turned on the shower and went for it. Since it's a walk-in shower I knew this would be difficult. All of a sudden I see the curtain move and bam there he was laughing at me, as if to say, "What were you thinking momma?"
He quickly moved the curtain to the side and began reaching for anything in his sight, puddles, soap pieces and even my toes. All I got to do was wash my hair with my Pantene product and condition with my new Aveda conditioner Curls. I have used the same soap for years, Dove refreshing cucumber. I quickly lathered it all over and and that was all she wrote. My boy tried to eat his hands he soaked in the water and soap, slipped on the wet marble step and was completely drenched from the shower spray. The end result? I combed my hair and felt a little better for the day ahead.
Throw in more time, a shave here and there and that's it, that’s my routine. I try to moisturize my face after the shower everyday with Neutrogena face conditioner and sometimes I will add curl enhancers product when my hair is wet. I'm so low maintenance and don't even blow-dry my hair. Considering my low maintenance schedule, my sun habit and chlorine pool activities, I hope this new color lasts longer than a month! Here is a rough photo of the new do:
