Sunday Shorts

Solange Knowles So I did it. I cut my hair. Not a snip. A major cut. Like...all of it. So now I have a style a bit like Solange Knowles' - maybe a tad bit longer on the top, but you get the general idea. Seeing my hair falling to the ground was a bit traumatic but I did not go bananas. I am happy it is gone - all the damaged bits - and now can focus on bringing it back to the way it was, and should...

Trauma at the Salon

Posting this hair cause then I know I will HAVE to do it and not chicken out. But going to cut off inches and inches of my hair today. It is out of sheer necessity, but God it has to look cute too.

The trip was short but fun. I finally...

Turning Water to Wine...with my Imagination

Yummy green tea. I started the morning with a huge cup of water and 2 cups of green tea and frequent trips to the bathroom. And so the detox began. I have been a really bad girl over the holiday season. Excess is not the word. I guess after last year’s miserable holiday season, I was eager to make up for it. Lol. Make up I did. Between all the visits to friends’ and relatives’ homes and thus ultimately,...
