I am a sucker for magazines. and the things they say. and I read recently in some magazine that if you want to have nice hair, you should put plenty of mousse in it before you go to bed {making it all crunchy} because it will loosen by the morning. And since I am so desperate for my hair to not look like I stuck my finger in a light socket I decided to try it. Except I’m starting to think that perhaps it was a tip for people with curly hair, not “frizzy, bumpy hair.” So this is what I currently look like:


{that is my “this probably will not work out too well” face}
A few weeks ago we went to Costco. I successfully avoided any and all excessive purchases until the very last aisle, where I saw a three pack of this Starbucks Hot Chocolate:

Clearly there are four boxes there and I only got 3. I got the salted caramel, peppermint & toasted marshmallow. For $10! On Starbucks.com, one box is $6.49 .. so clearly I got a good deal.

I tell you this because I just made the peppermint hot cocoa and it is delicious. You should buy some for the winter… and invite me over to drink it, I am just saying.

I wish I could tell you that I am not angry that TommyK has the #1 high score for “Hey Soul Sister” on the Glee Karaoke app and the user “stephanieamber” has the #2, 3, 4 & 5 spots. Unfortunately that would be a lie. and I also wish I could tell you that after I typed that sentence I definitely did not go in the living room and sing it twice more in hopes of gaining the #1 spot again. But that would be a lie as well.

Suddenly it’s 1 am and I’m still awake. Today I made a list of my dreams. Big dreams. and I made a list of end years resolutions, small steps towards big dreams. and tomorrow I plan on diving in headfirst. First order of business: brush up on my tap dancing. This dare to dream thing is fun.

    1. okay so I’ve not yet tried the salted caramel hot chocolate. I’ve had it AT starbucks but not the try-at-home kind. I’ve tried the other two, so tonight I’m all over that. 

      the hair……….. not happening ever again, haha.

  2. I have the opposite hair problem as you. Mine is flat and looks greasy about 5 minutes after I wash it. Everyone recommends mousse to me too, and it chooses to hate me. Ohh, and the salted caramel hot chocolate…yum :) 

    1. how have you used the mousse? I have this problem where the top of my hair is reaaaaalllllllly thin and always stays close to my scalp. so normally I use a little bit at the roots on the top of my hair and then blow dry it upside down, and frequently part it and dry it with different parts so that when it’s placed properly there’s a little bit more volume at the roots. you should try that! 

      isn’t hair so weird? how we all have different colors and textures and shapes?
