Home, Sweet Home – Making Our House Into a Home

I had my hair cut and highlighted on Tuesday by my fabulous friend Kelley at J&S Salon.  It had been almost a year and a half since my hair was last “done”.  I had quit highlighting my hair before I got married.  For some strange reason, I felt guilty about spending that kind of money on my hair.  I felt like that money could have better been used somewhere else.  I’m not really sure why I felt so guilty.  Should I have felt guilty?

Over the last year, my hair has gotten progressively darker.  So dark that some people didn’t recognize me.  I think the darkness can be attributed to age, highlights growing out, and using a shampoo with SPF that kept my hair from being damaged by the sun.  My dark hair wasn’t pretty dark hair.  It was dull, mousy, smokey dark, dark blonde color.  The color made my skin look so pale and washed out. I had enough of it, broke down, and went to Kelley.  She did me up fabulously!  I still feel slightly guilty…wait, I don’t feel guilty at all right now.  I feel like I look 100 times better!
