I was walking through the mall yesterday with my kiddos. It was 100 degrees so even the pool didn't seem appealing. We needed to get some lunch after several appointments, and this being 1 month into summer I am tired of little petty fights so deciding where we were going to eat lunch was not an option. The food court was the perfect solution.
On our way there we were approached by several kiosk people. I am one to get a migraine whenever I am confronted with strong perfumes so I am always quick to say no. I said no to one young man and he laughed at me. I realized after we passed that he was handing out something for hair. My guess is something to do with frizz.
Thus today's post.
I know I am getting older because I have caught myself saying the phrase "It isn't so much the heat as it is the humidity". What am I 90?
I have purchased so many Anti frizz, anti humidity, straighteners, and smoothers that I could start my own store. So, when I have worked hard preparing my hair for the day and I get a laugh from the kiosk man it is a bit unnerving. Don't you judge me kiosk man.
The thing is he is right. I take the time to put on make up and do my hair and the second I step out of my car I can feel it. The makeup is "glistening" off and the hair is starting to inflate, thus by the time I actually get to where I am going I look like I didn't try at all. Now I ask you what is the point?! If I actually do nothing the outcome is even more disturbing than the I tried but it all fell apart so that isn't an option.
I am not a trust fund socialite so having someone walk around with me doing my hair and makeup all day is not an option either. What is a girl to do?
Here is what I have come up with. I am going to wear the only accessory that outshines the rest. A smile. I am going to attempt to bring joy to others and not be a hot wet wool blanket to anyone's day. God has blessed me far more than I deserve it is my duty to pass along those blessings. After all pony tails and big sunglasses work wonders.
