feeling crimson

As of today...I am a redhead, just like my marmie.

I've been dreaming of red locks for a long time and a few hours ago, my hair colorist and I took the plunge. I wasn't sure if my olive complexion was going to look good with this color but today I noticed one of the other stylist's in the salon had my skin tone and I was coveting her red hair. As we were about to mix colors of more blond highlights for my hair, I said WAIT...lets just go for it, lets do ALL RED.

So fun.

I feel brave and my sisters will be thrilled!

I adore the salon I go to in Little Italy. It's cute and funky and my colorist's chair station is up in a loft with huge windows. When a client's hair is finished, the other stylists come over to dote all over them. So needless to say, I always leave the salon smiling as I walk back down the steep hill to where my car is parked overlooking the bay. I am sure passers by wonder what on earth I am smiling about. Do these stylists have any idea that they leave us with such gifts?

I have lots to share but have found myself a bit busy with work. Life has been beautiful and my spirit is calm these days. I am not over analyzing it but just riding the wave as it comes.

I will share more thoughts on it all soon...very soon. Just know my heart is soaring.
