One Small Change Can Make a Big Difference

Got my hair colored Friday. I’m a redhead again. Yeah, my avatar shows me as a redhead, but that was taken in 2006 and for the past couple years I’ve been sort of a lackluster blonde/light brown/gray. Anyway, getting my hair colored motivated me to put on makeup. I also decided I’d like to exchange my usual jeans for a skirt or dress. I went shopping and bought a new pair of shoes to go with my more feminine attire. Now it’s the next day — I took the hair off my legs and polished my toenails. Wow! Just because I got my hair colored. It really gave me a boost!
To top it all off, I’ve started a major closet reorganization project. See, redheads have more energy.

Today I got up early and ashed and did my hair. I usually do my hair once a week, on Thursday, but I was running a little late this week. Now I am feeling great and am all ready for the week ahead of me. I know that you are feeling so much better about doing a make-over. We always feel a lot better when we take time to fix ourselves up. I want to do more for myself in the weeks to come. I do not treat myself, physically nearly as much as I want to. Thanks for such a good topic.

I haven't been good to myself much either when it comes to "bothering" to look nice. And yes, we do feel so much better when we bother to do what it takes. It sure has lifted me out of my general depression :)

In fact when I was shopping at the store that's going out of business I looked at the bras. I sure could use an attitude adjustment there. Even at 25% off, they were still out of my range.

That is so cool! I dyed my hair Medium Auburn red and I am so glad I finally did it it has gave me a different more carefree mood. I also had the light brown hair my natural color. I usually dye my hair once or twice a year but haven't dyed it in a few years. Well, I spring cleaned my moms house...I stayed at my parents house a week and cleaned. I dyed my hair on Wednesday though. I also got my hair cut too.. I was told it looked really good. Well, where I was at moms all week I have a back log of emails I have to sludge through so I will be spring cleaning my house later on next week.

You most welcome! It is always good to get compliments. Makes me get a swelled head..everyone likes it..I have had the hair dye since Dec on Christmas I had wanted to dye my hair and my mom wanted to dye her hair so I bought her dye as one of her gifts and she bought me mine as a gift..lol But then I promised myself that I wouldn't dye it till I lost twenty pounds and I did and then some so I finally dyed it this month..

That is great... the red hair brought out the more feminine side of you... the one that want to look good all the time even when you are only inside the house...
The last time i had a hair do was because i had a problem with my falling hair... so i decided to get a hair spa... and asked the lady to trim it a little... and it really looked nice... but not enough to bring out my more feminine side... well, i guess i need a more drastic change in my look...

Maybe your more feminine side is already out there! The main thing is to be happy with your look, at least it is for me. I'm not happy about my weight, but now that my hair is pretty...you know...I'll start eating healthier and getting more exercise??? Dunno about all that
