Putting away the straightener...today


I know this is off subject, not my normal blog discussing food, propping or photography skills, but about fashion styling and my hair. Yes, my crazy hair. Most of my friends and family do not know that I have crazy, curly hair...why crazy? My hair stylist Dianna knows my terrible hair secrets...a strange little patch lacking hair on the left side of my head, bendy hair on the left vs. very curly on the right side. While my 13 year old daughter's hair styling skills surpassed mine several years ago, I thought I had finally mastered my hair straightener, a long, hard task. Not two days go by without me burning myself on this hotter than h--l piece of equipment. It takes so long to straighten my hair, at least 45 minutes and sometimes I just don't want to do it! Hence the pony tail...a busy week will see my hair in a pony tail 50% of the time. What can I say, it's easy, it looks cute & casual, great for working around food and product, easy way out. So, why the blog on curly hair? Because it's back in again! Yes, maybe just for special occassions, but looking at fashion magazines and ads are just one part of my prop styling job. I have to notice what is going on in the fashion, food, and home styling, it all goes hand in hand. So, today I celebrate not using my straightener, I admit, it's a look that I may use only on occassion or on a high humidity day such as today, but nonetheless, it's curly, not straight. Sophie says it looks ok, I can live with that, she is such a little fashionista, I completely trust her judgement. My yoga teacher tells me it's good to change life up a bit, change is good for the spirit, the mind and the soul...welcome to the new week! What are you going to do differently today?
