A little pampering
One way in which some women seem to find relief from emotional stress and distress is to go to the beauty salon. It's a variation on "retail therapy" – going shopping to lift one's mood. I hadn't tried the beauty salon idea before, but I had a gift certificate, so off I went to Axis Salon Spa.
I must admit, sitting in a chair and being ministered to is most pleasing; there is something decadent and astonishingly relaxing about having one's hair worked through. For three hours, I was ministered to by the inimitable Vicente. After a dye job, rinse-out, conditioning treatment, trim, style, and blow-dry, I have a new look. It's a restoration of the vivid auburn color that I like so well, and a new layered cut that Vicente designed to take advantage of the natural wave in my hair, so it looks great and is also low-maintenance.
Now I just have to find a good New Year's party to show off my new do.

Looks great!
I'm a once-a-year-whether-it-needs-it-or-not haircut kinda gal myself - had a fairly high-maintenance cut (jaw-length bob) for a while in my younger days but eventually I just decided I'd rather have an extra twenty minutes of sleep every morning!
:D
PS - thanks for your comments - I'm impressed you were able to get in; I just logged out of my Haloscan account & tried signing in on my Blogger account to leave a comment & I couldn't get in at all.
And I think the help desk person who first emailed me has gone on vacation - repeated pleas for further assistance have gone unanswered.
Oh well, I guess I'll drop it & go paddling.
Hope you get to break some nails one of these days!
p.s. -
Went paddling.
Broke a nail.
Quite happy.
Well, it was a very small New Year's party ... four people at midnight, plus one other earlier -- but the people who matter to me the very most. Details to follow.
