Beauty Woes
Oooh I have been a crappy blogger this week month. So much on my plate and only so many hours in the day. ;) The psycho ex was in town this week (boyamIusedtobeing1000milesawayfromhim) and my mother had surgery yesterday on top of that, and I have to be in a relaxed state to think beautiful, ya know? I think I’ve been maybe a smidge depressed too because of my great friend Hsien leaving b5media to strike out on her own to make her own mark in the genetics world. *sniff*
It’s hard to imagine that what seems like such a superficial thing is so closely tied in to what’s inside me, but it sure is. I can’t think beauty when there is trauma going on (my own or somewhere else in the world that has captivated me), and even have a hard time when I am on the road, or otherwise preoccupied. That either makes me a pretty crummy writer or maybe just normal, who knows (rhetorical - please don’t answer…lol). ;) But regardless, I am getting beautiful, despite the fact that I am rapidly decending into one of those rooty folks I get so irritated seeing. I am glad at least that I have come to terms with my 
grayness (unlike Hsien - heh). I need a hair color job, desperately, but at least I got my nails and toes done last night (I am really loving this Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess nail polish - the whole collection really - makes me feel like a tanned Brazillian beauty), so am not completely falling apart - yet anyway. Hair color this weekend, I must. I MUST!

I think blondes turn gray much more gradually than those of us with dark hair. I am just so glad I can’t see the back of my own head. ARGH.

People underestimate what a hair change can do to a woman’s morale. Every now and then I get that hair emergency, particularly after some kind of drastic change that I want my hair to reflect. Need an ultimate beauty makeover? Check out http://condenast.eprize.net/alluresheargenius/?affiliate_id=1d
for a chance to win a makeover by a leading makeup artist and 2 nights at a chic New York Hotel. This could definitely put an arch in our step and give your hair a much needed spin! I work with bravo and I’m just giving you an inside scoop. Check out Shear Genius every Wednesday night at 10/9c on Bravo for more hair ideas.

ha haha. you know Christina, I can almost picture you narrating this in person. :-D and i agree with hsien, dark hair don’t turn gray (or white!) that easily compared to your blonde (which i envy by the way if i haven’t told you yet! LOL!).
however my hair isn’t as dark as most asians/filipinas so i really love coloring mine with red/burgundy that just end up as highlight anyway but still i like it.
for the record i have quite a few strands of white hair myself (still buried in the middle of the tresses, thank God!) but when they do show up in big numbers, then i may have to color me blonde. he he. that would be the day i guess!! :-D
well, i hope you get to color your hair, let us know how it turns out.

Before and after photos! We need them before and after photos. ;-)
And, I agree. I, too, tend to avoid thinking about beauty when there are too many other things going on. In fact, I don’t remember the last time I put make-up on. And, I only started blow-drying my hair again this week, after many many months of ignoring how I look.
Anyway, hope things are easing out a bit on your end.

Glo: if you can picture me narrating, I must be doing something right. ;) And just because you can’t see the gray against the blonde quite as well as against dark hair - it sure doesn’t mean it isn’t there just as much. Yucko. :)
Shai: Thanks for stopping in! You have an excuse with your new baby - perhaps you should check out Pascalle at Hot Mama Daily! ;)
