Hello, I’m a Hairaholic.

Haha, I actually looked up the word to make sure that I wasn’t admitting to something besides my OCD of hairstyling.  Nope, it’s not a real word, just one people use to describe their crazy obsessions with all things hair.  And it’s the name of a salon in Massachusetts.

Anyway!

My daughter tells me that I have OCD when it comes to hair, because I feel the need to change my look at least every 6 months.  Although lately it’s been more like every 2-3 months.   So yes, maybe that’s a bit on the extreme side.  But I look at it like this (and Kevin, the talented man who did my hair yesterday wholeheartedly agreed with me), your hair is the one thing you can easily change on your appearance.  I can’t give myself bigger lips or a new nose or bigger other things (not that I will ever feel the need for that, I am a proud member of the itty bitty titty committee), without going through a painful surgery and forking over hundreds of dollars.  But my hair can easily be shortened, lengthened, curled, straightened or colored and POOF!  I am suddenly a whole new girl!

So without further ado…here is my new look!

And I LOVE IT!

I am excited to style it and wear all my headbands that I’ve collected over the years.  And the best part is that since I didn’t go to a super expensive salon, the upkeep won’t be a budget-breaker!  Kevin at Supercuts is a phenomenal hairdresser and he did exactly what I asked him to do, even better!

XOXO

Happy Birthday Dr. King (January 15th)

 “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”  – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This particular quote is very relevant right now, especially when things like this happen in public and nobody steps forward to help.  I would like to think that if I were riding the Max that day, that I would have done SOMETHING.
The kids are out of school and Mark has the day off from work, so happy holiday to us!  Thanks Dr. King for letting us celebrate your birthday with a three day weekend.
Random things Monday:
*  I heart Anderson Cooper!  Claire and I started watching his show while she was home for three weeks over Christmas vacation, and he just seems like such a great guy.  But what really did it for me was when he did a show honoring his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt.  What an interesting life, full of adventures and tragedy and love.
* We watched the Golden Globes last night, here are a few of my favorite dresses from the evening:

Claire Danes, beautiful!!

Reese Witherspoon, this dress is perfect for Valentine's Day!

<3 <3 LOVE <3 <3

Michelle Williams is KILLING ME with her adorable hair cut.  I am having very strong desires to cut my hair again, like I did when I was first pregnant with Enzo.  I forgot how much I loved the ease of fixing it.  Currently my hair is just frustrating, the asymmetrical cut isn’t working since it’s grown out and I just don’t know how style it!   Hmm…we’ll see how long I can hold out before I end up at the hair salon.

*  Claire and I are going to take Enzo to the park today to meet our friend Lacye.  I realized that he is almost a year old and he’s never swung on a swing set!  We must remedy that.  Don’t worry, I’ll get pictures.

I can’t get my spacing to work on this post, so I apologize if it comes across as a jumbled mess.

It’s time to make some lunch, I hope you are having a great day!

xoxo
