The Perm.
This week I got a perm. Nick does not like perms. I wanted one for a change, more body and something new while I continue to grow out my hair. The last perm I had was 5+ years ago and some of my hair got damaged so I was wary but pretty sure the stylist would be careful and leave the chemicals on for the correct amount of time. She did! I had forgotten how long perms take and how off-putting the smell is. Ah well.
So, today, after 2 days of not washing my hair - as instructed - I did and feel so much better. I like the stiff mess that my curly hair makes and am trying to make it as big as possible. Curls suit me and my highlights look a little brighter. Bonus!Last night we met Mom and Dad for supper and I wore my new POEM shirt. See how dark and fresh it is?! My skin is moist because I received a facial on Thursday evening. It had been over a year since my last one and now that my dead skin is sloughed off and balanced, my natural oils shine through. Glisten!

This weekend we have *no* plans which means we will eat later and watch more tv. Fine with me!
