On days where I'm feeling sloppy and icky and everything else, that's when someone will say to me, "Wow! You look great. Have you lost weight?"
The day I spent open to close volunteering at the carnival at the wee ones' school? When I was spending hours at the customer service desk answering questions and running credit cards and whatever else came up, that's when a friend's husband comes up and tells me that he's impressed. I look really "elegant" that day. Go figure.
Or maybe I'm having a really bad hair day. That's when someone will say that my hair looks amazing.
This is what my hair looks like on what I consider to be a good day. It's not a "pretty" day all around, but my hair is behaving. Nothing is sticking out in weird places. There are no parts that are half curly and half not. I don't have any wings around my head. It isn't super poofy. It's behaving.
This is not the day I get the compliments. I get compliments on the day when I vlog quickly before I go walking with my friends. What do I not do before I go walking? Those are the mornings where I didn't shower and panic trying to fluff my hair into some semblance of normalcy before turning on the camera. And I get the compliments then. And when I go to meet my friends? I get compliments from them on how awesome my hair looks.
So apparently my solution is to just stop showering, right? I wonder if it would help if I stopped brushing my teeth, too....

No, no, don't stop brushing your teeth.
ReplyDeleteBut the no-shower thing? Maybe! ;)
Root canals are very unsexy.
ReplyDeleteI've had a similar experience to yours--feeling icky and like my hair is overdo for a wash and then someone says they think my hair looks great. I think your hair is really pretty in the second-to-the last photo.
ReplyDeleteit's the sexy tousled look....just go and rock it
ReplyDeleteMelisa - That would be one way to go green AND lower my water bill at the same time, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteLiz - Oooo good point. And knock on wood, I've never had a cavity. I don't want to start.
Pat - Thanks :) It's not how I want my hair to be, so I don't like it. But at least I now know it's not as bad as I think it is half the time.
Holly - I'm going with it. Straight to the shower ;) I've learned that especially as I get older, I can't wash my hair every day or it just breaks off and is gross dry, but... showers are definitely good things!
I agree -- I like the more natural looks better!!
ReplyDeleteJennifer - Thanks :) I think part of the problem is that I'm growing my hair out again so it just isn't how I want it at all... and it hasn't been cut since May so it's all scraggly. But I like it when people say nice things about me! ;)
