A Bit of Spontaneity

So last night after dealing with the traffic, stopping by the apartment to grab the grocery sacks, and heading back out the door, I stopped in to Ulta to pick up my face wash and toner. Sometimes I can get it at the grocery store and sometimes I can't, and Ulta usually has better prices and is just across the street not only from my apartment but also from the grocery store. So I stopped in. I had the picture in my purse that I had created at IVillage with the new haircut I was contemplating. I was wandering around the store looking for my products so I walked to the back where the salon was and asked to speak with a stylist. I asked her if she thought my hair would do that - that I didn't want it quite that short to start probably but that I wanted my hair to do SOMETHING! She said she thought it would be no problem so I asked her if I could get someone to do it now. So they scheduled me in for five minutes later. I went and grabbed my face stuff and bought that and headed back to the back. The girl that cut my hair was super nice, and she did an AWESOME job! I am very pleased with it, and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg like many salons in Dallas. It was $35 for the shampoo, cut & style which isn't bad because several other places I looked at online wanted $50-75 for the same thing. I am glad I decided to do that because now I have found a good person and place to go without breaking the bank! Anyways, I got my hair cut. Nothing super crazy - the longest part is a little above my shoulders and the shortest part comes to about my lips. It's fun because I can use a curling iron and make it flip out or use a straightener and get it to do chunky sticking out! And she suggested this great pomade that picks up shine and makes it look cute. It was easy this morning and even if I don't do much with it, it still looks good. And my husband is happy because I won't be putting it back all the time now! :) So anyways, my spontaneous decision worked out very nicely. Needless to say, I didn't get the grocery shopping done as planned, but now I have the bags and list in the car and since I'm leaving early to make it to the old apartment to drop off the keys today, I can head straight to the grocery store on my way home. Yay for living so close to so many fun things! ;)
