Boy, did I have an experience getting my hair cut today!
To save some $$ I decided to get my hair cut at the local Aveda School. I mean how can you beat $36 for highlights and $12 for a haircut? Don’t worry I have had my cut there before and have nothing but good things to say about the results. It’s getting to the results that are a challenge.
The highlights took longer then normal due to the foil newbies and my super thick hair. And when it came time for the haircut I believe the girl was afraid to cut it as short as I wanted. She started at one level and then I had to keep telling her to go shorter. Finally her instructor just came over and cut my hair for her.
So 4 hours later I emerged with a haircut I was very happy with and a smile on my face

What do you think? I love it!!

I’m awful at taking self portraits, but I did attempt to get a picture of the back as well.


You kind of get the idea.
Backing up to earlier in the day. I snacked on a pack of Annie Bunny Fruit Snacks mid morning.

The whole morning I was looking forward to the wonderful lunch I had packed the night before.

This was seriously one of those meals that when I finished I kept repeating how great it was to myself.
I had left over Yuca.

Carrots with Almond Butter

An Apple that I also dipped in the almond butter.

And the last piece of Raw Goat Milk Cheese to round the meal out.

I always find the randomly paired meals are usually the best.
Though my lunch did fill me up, by the time I made it home after my extra-long hair appointment I was STARVING. I made the big mistake of going to the appointment snack free.
As soon as I took Abbie out, I got to work in the kitchen throwing together an easy peezy colorful stir fry.

In a wok I added
- Sesame Oil
- Garlic
- Cilantro
- Sesame Seeds
- Green Beans
- Red Cabbage
- Carrot
- Eggplant
- Pineapple
- Tempeh
- Mushroom
I then coated it with this sauce I had picked up at Trader Joes in San Diego.

This curry sauce had the perfect level of spiciness to it and really did a great job of bringing the whole meal together.

Every vegetable I added to this dish was fresh, the only item that was packaged was the tempeh. I loved how colorful and refreshing this dish came out. It was a perfect, healthy stir fry.
1/2 of one of Amanda’s Peanut Butter Trail Mix Blondies was patiently waiting for me for dessert.

Now I’m off to go stare in a mirror and play with my new haircut.
Good Night!!
