The Traditional Bob?

I had my hair cut last night and went for a rather dramatic change. Only a few months ago I dared to do bangs (I hadn't had them since I was three I beleive) and lately had been toying with the idea of letting it grow long. But instead, we decided to chop all the longer growth off and try out something quite different.

I Love It!
Now I just have to work on styling it :)

I love my stylist. I can talk to her, she gives me feedback on what I'm suggesting, takes time to talk about my hair and find the right style. In the end I always leave the salon happy. I tried salon after salon for a few years before I finally found her in the spring but all the roaming was worth it in the end.

Results: Beating the Heat

Well, the wet top sheet worked gloriously! It was a little odd getting under a wet sheet (kinda like the feeling of wearing wet clothes) but it made me feel quite cool and I slept through the night. The nice thing was when I was snoozing in the morning the sheet was dry so it was nice and cozy :)

I got my hair cut today and I love it. It will be on display in an outfit post tomorrow.

Beating the Heat

So we've had a few sweltering nights the past few weeks and it's really affecting the quality of my sleep (something which is quite important if you want to look/feel good). Today I stumbled upon this wikiHow article and it has lots of great ideas. I'm going to try the "egyptian method" (#4) tonight. I'm also intrigued by the buckwheat pillow, I've found one on The Linen Closet, but I've never purchased anything from that site. I have to wonder if the pillow would be worth the price. Anyone else use a buckwheat pillow?

I took this picture a few weeks ago from the side of the ferry during a windy trip from Ramea. It makes me feel cooler, mind over matter right?

Ultimate Aching

(pic courtesy of my boyfriend)

I played in the Mile Zero Ultimate Toilet Bowl Tournament yesterday. It was a lot of fun but my feet weren't too pleased by the end of the day. I ended up soaking them in salt water last night which has definitely helped the blisters and sore toes. However, I can't help craving my favorite LUSH massage bar Therapy. Too bad there are no LUSH stores in NL. I'm going to have to put in an order when I get paid.

Grey Day

Today was grey and somewhat rainy. I'm glad I wore my yellow sweater :) I'm looking fairly rumpled by this point after all day at work. Time to crawl into bed and hope tomorrow will bring brighter things.
