A Fabulous Idea...

So there's a restaurant downtown that has come up with the perfect promotion for Wednesday nights. Manicures & Martinis. For the low price of $15 you can get a quick little manicure and any martini off their fairly extensive list.

The manicure was pretty good since they don't have a salon set-up. They shape the nail, give you the hand massage with some of the best lotion I have ever smelled, and paint them. And really, I just love the idea of getting a manicure and having a martini. There's just something about it. and let's just say I have become a big fan of the pomitini...

Winter blahs...

The dull, gray winter days have left me in the mood to shake things up. Last weekend was so beautifully sunny it made it seem like spring was just around the corner. Put these two together and I decided their was only one possible course of action...

For a point of reference here's a before* picture:

And here's the after:

I'm super happy with how it turned out. The shape of the cut is fantastic. Its a bit shorter than I had really wanted but it'll quickly grow out to the length I had in mind. She put in tonnes of layers. There is so much volume and my head feels lighter, like its floating. Loves it!! It's actually kind of bittersweet that I've found such a fantastic hair stylist and soon I'll be moving away... Since it's an Aveda salon, the smell of my hair is heavenly right now. I'm heading up to Ottawa for a weekend of Winterlude fun - skating and beavertails!! Enjoy your weekends and I'll leave you with one last little peek at my new look... Enjoy!!

*I took the before picture on Tuesday, since I was having a good hair day that day. I don't think its a fair comparison when the before picture is totally heinous and the after picture is pretty.
