Hey blog heyyyyyy. This is how I’ve been looking a lot this past week: happy outside with the sun in my curls. Yes CURLS! Wanna know how to make lasting curls in stick-straight, super-fine hair? Here’s my process:

1. Wash/dry hair.
2. Spray down hair (lightly) with salt spray of choice (right now I’m using “Got2B”, but I’m eagerly waiting for the cult sea spray by John Frieda to arrive in the mail).

3. Roll hair with soft, snap curlers (eliminating those annoying lines from the old-fashioned foam rollers). I only use 5.

4. Lightly spray hair with setting mist, blow dry.
5. Go to bed and wake up with Magic Curls that last all day!

It’s a little more work at night, for sure, but in the morning all you have to do is remove the curlers and it’s GLAMAZON. I do this every other night; the rest of the time I wear my hair in a braid or a bun. My next hair goal is to learn how to do a fishtail braid. It’s good to have goals.

I went with Mucha for my new iphone case. I bought it from Etsy–Etsy has every kind of iphone case imaginable! It was really hard narrowing down which one to buy. I “favorited” about 20 before settling. Etsy has really grown since I opened up my painting shop in…2008? Wow, that seems like a long time ago.

There have been a lot more little kids playing outside these days, so Maggie and Bear Cub have received lots of extra pets from tiny hands. They are both good with children–mellow and patient. Thank goodness.

Maggie and Bear Cub and my black glitter polish, which at week 3 is finally starting to look a little rough. However, I have a Broad Date this weekend! On Superbowl Sunday, as a matter of fact. I’m 98.5% sure Josh will be going to his grandparents’ house to watch the big game, so I will be going over to the Broad’s house for a nail date and a cat date and probably a fattening food date, because on Monday I’m launching a low carb…well, let’s not say DIET. Let’s say…lifestyle change. And I promise not to talk about it. Because I know it’s boring boring boring (review the last 10 years of my blog for diet talk if interested).

Hey ladies!

What else is happening? I might have a slight job change, although more about that later. I spent the first half of this week with a weird left foot pain (the TOP of my foot, which none of the physical therapists I work with were able to figure out), but it seems to be subsiding. Today is my parent’s 38th wedding anniversary! I have two more years before I have to figure out something cool to do with them to celebrate. I’m up to Season 3 of “Friends” (I know). I’m reading “Wild”. Um…reaching…reaching…that’s all for now. Go Hawks?
