My apologies

This has been my best friend today....well kinda cause it didn't completely kick my headache so I'm about to go in for another round. So my apologies for keeping this short, but I'm just not feeling it today :(

This leads me to my angel dust: We must learn to take care of ourselves before we take care of others.

Split ends

Hair. My, how it brings up issues so many other issues! So today I made an appointment cause I was way overdue for a trim. I go in and as I told the stylist what I wanted she said ok. Then she shows me about an inch worth of hair and says, "I'll be cutting this much off. Is that okay?". I of course say yes not thinking twice about it knowing my ends were at least partially split and my ends were uneven. I asked her why she asked was it ok and she said, "You'd be surprised how many keep their split ends because they don't want to lose the length". I thought to myself.....that makes ZERO sense! Why keep hair that clearly is damaged and that if kept will continue to damage more of the hair?! Oh, I know....to give the illusion that "my hair is long so everything is good!" Makes me think of some females I know and the "split end" relationships they've been involved in. You keep a man around that does more damage than good cause you lay claim that we look good together and we're happy. Hmmmm, is it that or do you not want to be alone?! Split ends like bad relationships start off as a minor problem. If you don't cut them out of your life or hair they reek so much havoc they still the glow you'd naturally have and damage more than the tips. "Things/products" may cover up the damage, but best believe those problems aren't gone!! P.S. the only person you're fooling is yourself. Who cares you have to give up a little, if you can get it all back later if you let go of it now?!

This leads me to my angel dust: I'd rather be bald headed and "splint end" free than keep them around and get upset everytime they show up and show out!

Have you had your Starbucks today?

Let me tell you about my day. I woke up this morning with a need. I needed a new pair of running shoes and was on a mission to get a pair. I showered and began getting dressed when I got a random text from a friend of mine. Me and said friend have been talking about needing to meet up and chat, but schedules and such always managed to get in the way. Not today though. We decided to meet at the mall and get some coffee, catch up and of course shop! I'm so glad the stars aligned  and our little outing happened. That wasn't the end though. She had to leave and I needed to meet some friends for some wedding planning. Talk about a "wake me up". I have NEVER laughed harder! Who knew wedding preparations could be so fun?! I felt sorry for everyone else in the bridal shop because they weren't having nearly as much fun as our crew. ( I also feel sorry for the bride who thought the "westward ho" dress was cute.) LOL. 
This leads me to my angel dust: Starbucks may wake up your insides, but great friends wake up your spirits!
