I consulted with my hair cutter (she didn’t have a snazzy title, so I’ll leave it at that). I told her what I thought my two options were. She was really excited about the shorter style. So we went with that.
She tied my long hair back into a ponytail and asked me one more time: Are you sure about this?
To be honest in that very moment, I wasn’t so sure. I did want to take a moment and rethink it all, but instead I nodded and said: Sure. Do what you think.
In one swift snip, my ponytail was gone.

The salon was really quiet and I felt really relaxed. There was the usual chatter about nothing. I didn’t mind it.
I couldn’t get a good photo. I don’t have a monobrow like this photo is suggesting. Promise.
I went through four magazines in the time it took to get my hair done. It was bliss. No one trying to tear the pages out. No one needing a feed mid-page. I decided to catch up on some text messages. I messaged my employer to confirm my return to work date. It was a week later than I had assumed. One week more holiday. Bliss.
Whilst I was getting my final rinse, just after the magical head massage I got a text from Hubby. He just bought a brand new car. Shock. Elation. Excitement. New car smells. Yum.
So all in all a good, no scratch that, GREAT day.
In the end Gwyneth won. xx
Awwww…Telle, that’s not a photo!
Glad you had a great day though!
Love the new hairstyle Telle, you look gorgeous! It sounds like you had a great day. I think I need to follow suit and take myself off to the hairdresser. It’s been a while…
Very pretty 🙂
I also love the total decedance of reading lots of magazines uninterrupted at the hairdresser. Its the little things as a new mum!
yay for the car!
What I can see of it, it looks really good!
Days like that are so rare…I hope it continues for you!
