#hairoftheweek: Black Hole Bun

Am I going to pretend that this blog post is not eight days late? Yes. Time is but a social construct anyway. Is enjoying the summer preview we've been having recently good enough reason to postpone this post? Who knows how long the warmth and sunshine will last? Carpe diem! Considering how late this blog post already is, I shouldn't delay any longer. On to the hair!

Happy Hub: Mamma Mia!, Waitress, JMac, & (a little bit) More!

I am shocked. I don't think I have ever had such a sparse Happy Hub, but I also don't feel like this month was bad. I guess it goes to show how paying attention to the little things in life can make you just as happy as the big things.

#hairoftheweek: Belle's Provincial Ponytail

So often I save hairstyles for a rainy day and then when a rainy day comes, I feel like it isn't the absolute rainiest it could be, so I suffer through it and never end up using my savings. This time I recognized that I needed a quick fix and it was the perfect time to dip into my reserves. Ironically, this all happened on the sunniest day we've had in months. Go figure.

Book Talk: April Uppercase Review

Is there any better feeling than receiving an email that says your package has shipped earlier than expected? Probably, but it was just what I needed last week when my Uppercase box arrived. I'm not going to say this was the best box yet, but... It's a stiff competition.

#hairoftheweek: Dutch Halo Braid

This week we have a spring/Easter inspired hairstyle! The sun is coming out to play more and more these days so I wanted to do a hairstyle that celebrated that. It's also a reason to play Beyonce on repeat, so I really don't see how this was anything but a good decision. 🌷🐝

#hairoftheweek: Triple Knotted Half Up

Just when you think you're finally getting some spring weather, Mother Nature hits you with a storm. In April! I'm hoping that once this passes, it will be out of the weather's system and we can move on for some consistently pleasant weather. I've forgotten what it feels like to stand under the sun.

Book Talk: March Wrap Up

So much for taking advantage of my spring break... I mean, I did, just not for reading. Prioritizing is hard. And now there aren't any breaks until Memorial Day. Looks like I'll just have to make a greater point of carving out time in my day. One day I'll restore my reading life to its former glory, but today is, unfortunately, not that day.

#hairoftheweek: Three Rose Updo

Welcome to Spring 2017! I am feeling fresh and ready to tackle another season of #hairoftheweek, despite not having any idea about what types of hairstyles I want to do. Maybe spontaneity will be the theme of this season. It's worked out so far, but with a track record of one, we'll have watch this season's progress closely.
